Iâm sure this isnât the intended takeaway from The Boroughs, a supernatural murder-mystery set in a New Mexico retirement community, but I am transfixed by what is on offer to the ageing demographic across the pond. Itâs like watching an episode of The White Lotus and vowing in your next life to come back as an affluent white American, but more realistic. God willing, weâll all get old â and with a bit of careful planning, maybe we could stretch to a berth in one of the villages that a country with the space to house them provides for a reasonable sum?

(L-R): Clarke Peters as Art, Alfre Woodard as Judy, Alfred Molina as Sam, Denis O'Hare as Wally, and Geena Davis as Renee in The Boroughs.
In the picturesque desert retirement community known as the Boroughs, things certainly aren't what they seem. For one thing, there are monsters in the walls. For another, the unnervingly upbeat owners keep up a Stepford-esque facade. So when recently widowed new resident Sam (Alfred Molina) discovers his friend Jack (Bill Pullman) has been killed by a mysterious, alien-like creature feeding on his brain fluid at night, it's up to Sam and a ragtag group of fellow seniors to figure out what's actually afoot in the New Mexico town they call home.
