Review of Them

Them (2021– )
10/10
WOW!
13 April 2021
"Them" is the single most HARSH horror show I have ever seen with supernatural horror mixed with real life horror. It is absolutely emotionally draining to marathon this yet I could not stop watching until I started getting really tired then finishedthe next day. I did stop after one episode to cry. It is very tough to see. Extremely well-written and acted though. It has some elements of Jordan Peele films (one same actress I noticed and some same music in the score) but Peele's work is more subtle with humor mixed in. This is blunt and harsh with no need to read a critique to figure out the underlying message. It started out creepy then there is infuriating, scary, and gut-wrenchingly sad. There is no humor, nor should there be, in this mini-series. "Them" had bits that reminded me of "It" and "The Shining". There are events shown that are even more upsetting because you know that some of the stuff shown truly happened/happens. All I can say is WOW.
