Zusammenfassung
Reviewers say 'Them' delves into racism, trauma, and mental health during the 1950s Great Migration, lauded for its narrative, performances, and cinematic quality. Criticism arises for its depiction of white characters as uniformly malevolent, deemed unrealistic and racially stereotyping. The fusion of horror, realism, and supernatural elements has polarized audiences. Despite this, many commend the series for its impactful storytelling and its capacity to stimulate dialogue on historical and current racial matters.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

- WissenswertesSeries writer-creator Little Marvin was delighted to learn that the master of horror Stephen King had said of the show, "The first episode scared the hell out of me, and I'm hard to scare. Bonus: If you've never seen a bunch of extremely creepy white ladies in '50s dresses, here's your chance."
- PatzerAlthough it is stated that the events in this episode take place in 1953, as the Emorys are driving through Los Angeles, several post-1953 cars--e.g., a 1957 Mercury, and a 1958 Oldsmobile--can be spotted.
