The fact of the matter is that if you liked Jordan Peele's "Get Out" or "Us", you will most likely enjoy this series as it has many stylistic similarities. The show has interesting characters, good directing, good acting and is genuinely creepy at times.

That being said, it's not perfect (10/10) or a waste of time (1/10) like some users are suggesting. It's simply decent. If you're looking for a creepy show to binge on a weekend, I highly recommend giving this a watch.

For me definitely it's deep and thought provoking. Very relevant dealing with racism, trauma, mental health, systematic equalities, so much more all wrapped into a tv series. At times its over the top but overall highly recommended! Some say it's regurgitated racist stereotypes that we need to move on from but personally I feel they aren't talked about enough. Real slavery and Jim Crow was worse. This series after Jordan Peele's rise and Spike Lee's legacy are just the tipping point in bringing these stories to the forefront.

After having watched the first three episodes I find this series horrifying. It makes me feel terrible and sad and scared while at the same time hopeful that somehow things will work out for the family, though I have a desperate dread that it won't. Some reviews say the producers took racism too far. Unfortunately, I think, in actuality, it was much much worse.

Didn't know anything about this TV series but I thought I would watch something before my Prime subscription ended. I sat watching from beginning to end on the edge of my couch. It was disturbing, menacing, emotional and beautiful. All the actors were just incredible the soundtrack was amazing the storyline was a breath of fresh air. Them was visually stunning and thought provoking to watch, I didn't want it to end.

This series starts off so well - the storyline was very real and the story-telling was carefully planned and executed but.. by the time you reach episode 6-7 the story heads in a very odd direction. The illusions take over the plot, to the extent that it sometimes becomes difficult to differentiate what's real from the illusion.

By the time you get to the end it all becomes a bit of a disappointment. This could have been so much better..

The current overall rating (6,4) is a bit underrated because of the quality of the whole show. The thematic scenario is well-built, the characters are well-developed and the story itself it isn't too bad. Although its not pure horror, it has its scary moments sometimes. The pace in the first 2/3 episodes was a bit slow for me and I had some trouble to pass through them, but I gave it a chance. After that I think they tried to address too much into the storyline.

Now I have to be honest, if you're even a bit sensitive to explicit images, don't even start to watch this show. It has probably the worse scene I've watched in a tv show, even for a horror one. Besides THAT scene, the whole series is about many other bad scenes and events that even for someone like me, "used" to that type of scenes, was really harsh to watch. It's more like a sad, dramatic, injustices show than horror on. The excess of violence and injustices is actually the reason I don't give a solid 8/10 rating.

I appreciated the eerie and sinister atmosphere. It did feel like I was watching a black family suffering for 9 episodes which would have put me off watching if it wasn't for me willing the last episode to have some sort of resolution. Not only were they up against racism but supernatural forces as well - it's like it couldn't be worse. It was rather depressing and hopeless than scary but the last episode kind of redeemed the series. It did keep me watching until I'd finished all the episodes so it gets some points for that. I need to watch something cheerful now.

Im truly surprised by the low ratings but then i read their comments. I guess the truth hurts. Seems to also strike a nerve in the nonbelievers of racism, and the effects it has psychologically on those who have suffered generations of trauma. I dont know about you but this series made me want to jump in my TV and legitimately ring necks lol. Im suggesting it to everyone. You guys did an amazing job with this.

There are incredibly few films that have left my jaw on the floor, and this series did just that. However it didn't just cause me to do it once, but over, and over, again.

This series has a very "Antebellum" feel to it, in the sense that from the trailer, I was under the impression that it would be one thing, and it turned out to be something completely different. The first few minutes of episode one mentions that this is based on true events, and that's all I could think about as I started each episode. This country has seen some sickening moments in time, and to be frank, it wasn't that long ago. Episode five. Enough said!

Disturbing, edge of your seat, saddening, gut-wrenching horror. You're going to feel it all in this series. Highly recommend if you're looking for something that will take you on a crazy ride. 'Them' does just that, and more.

There is a lot happening in this show. It starts well and is easy to follow....but as it moves forward it is very difficult to make sense of what is actually happening. By the end of it we found ourselves asking "what did it all mean"? One scene can be broken up into 2 or 3 timelines or universes. It's extremely choppy which makes it difficult to assess and make any sense of. It extremely disappointing as the trailer looked fantastic. Watch it and make up your own mind. Ultimately it was a massive let down after such high expectations.

I hope amazon/sony makes more programming about strong black families. The movie is a great history lesson and still relevant today.

I honestly don't know how to rate this. This might be the most disturbing show I have ever seen. The cruelty and violence can be very extreme.

Costumes, makeup, hair, set, writing, cinematography, performances: all excellent and on point. I'm obsessed with this. Already plotting to be Betty for Halloween because she's genuinely the most terrifying villainess I've seen in a long time. Go watch it rfn.

I absolutely LOVED everything up until episode 9. I feel like episode 9 was completely unnecessary and shouldn't have been put in at all. They over explained it. The last episode tried to make up for it but couldn't. I would still recommend this to people, but I'll warn them that they'll be disappointed in the ending. It makes me so sad because of just how good it was for most of it. It deserved so much better.

Seriously underrated...... excellent horror series.

I believe this series was one of the most gripping me in the narrative in recent decades, it reminded me a lot of American Horror Story's the first season.

The horror, the special effects and practical effects were arranged throughout the episodes in a masterly way, the entire characterization of the characters, American society and racism in the 50s also had a very believable and disturbing tone, but I believe that all democratic ideology willing to throughout the episodes, especially in the ninth, villaining the christian faith, the Holy Bible and the entire caucasian ethnicity in general, completely ruined the series' flavor.

I literally felt at a wonderful feast with tasty foods that i've been wanting to taste for a long time, but after so much eating i feel sick after the meal and i just feel the urge to vomit all the food and not taste this type of meal anymore.

I started watching this, This morning and little did I know today was the day it came out. I believe if you are a fan of Ryan Murphy's American Horror Story series that this will also be something you like. It's mixed with real life horrors from the past as well as ghostly type horrors. The actors and actresses all done a fantastic job. Would definitely recommend to watch.

The first season of 'Them' was suffocating. It was constant trauma with no clear focus on who it was made for. Far too much frustration for me! I just didn't like it!

In the second season the racial theme continues but on a much less frustrating level, a more thoughtful manifestation of racism in the police force.

Without a doubt this season is of better quality, terrifying and very well done.

The acting is not the best I have seen at all, and the only actor who stands out is Luke James as Edmund Gaines, he builds the intensity with each episode. His performance stands out intensely above any of the superficial reactions throughout the series.

This season is visually really good and the use of the color red gives a more terrifying atmosphere to the images. Real quality in design and cinematography here.

Well, I think that the 2nd season offers a good combination of horror and essential themes, such as mental health. I recommend it without a doubt.

Rewatched A 2nd time and Season 1 was pretty damn good. I paid a lot closer attention this time. But I enjoyed the end and the creepiness factor the 2nd time through was even better. Giving it a little bump to 8/10

So I thought Season 1 was Creepy, Dark, Weird, Bizarre and totally American Horror Story esqe. I liked it. Will there be a season 2? It doesn't seem like they wrote the show with a season 2 in mind. Some great performances in the show acting-wise. Oh nevermind I see it says it will be an 'anthology' show' so it WILL be like American Horror Story. I can go for that. But for this first season I scored it an average by ep. Of 7/10.

Season 1 - 7/10.

You would think at first, when first watching this show , it would be steeped in cliches and other been there done that images and scenes.

Well if you believe that then you would be sorely mistaken. You will be thoroughly surprised, not only by the very strong dialogue shared by both the African American and Caucasian characters, alike, (if you are sensitive especially towards racial issues, then please don't watch this) but by the creepy supernatural events that occur through out the series with great effect.

If you enjoyed the movie Get Out, then you will definitely love this tv series.

This show had good potential... I was intrigued until about halfway through. Then the weirdness just spiraled out of necessity. It's like shows of today put this factor in (thx Jordan Peele) just to make it interesting and unique. It doesn't. It makes it hard for anybody to even get a grasp on. Wtf was this about? A black family ostracized from a white neighborhood? Or the demons, they themselves held within? Too much plot, leads to little satisfaction. I would consider myself as someone with a modicum of intellect , but it steers too far into the weirdness to even understand. 5 stars, for the first 5 episodes. An extra star for the acting, which was good, especially that 5 year old little girl. Nm, 6 stars for her. Kudos!
