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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
