Wow! Them is a full on ride. Its horror mixed with US race relations.
Created by Little Marvin and executive produced by Lena Waithe (The Chi). Them season one stars Deborah Ayorinde, Ashley Thomas, Alison Pill, and Ryan Kwanten. Yes Australia/True Blood vet Ryan Kwanten.
The series streams on Amazon Prime Video. Streaming back in April.
This is not to everyones taste. Maybe watch the above trailer first, then read the below brief overview. Apparently this will be an anthology. However no second season has been greenlit yet.
Set in 1953, Covenant follows a black family who, during the Second Great Migration, moves from North Carolina to an all-white neighborhood in Los Angeles. The family's idyllic home slowly transforms into an epicenter of evil forces, next-door and otherworldly, that threaten to haunt, ravage and destroy them.
It's a bit supernatural, it's a bit what goes bump in the night, it's a lot about race and privledge.
I enjoyed all ten episodes of the first season now streaming in Australia on Amazon alongside the interesting Nine Perfect Strangers.
Amazon for me is an interesting player in the streaming wars. It has more of a profile than Apple TV+, less of a profile than Netflix while having less Aussie content than Stan.
With so much to choose from, maybe do a free trial, give this, The Wilds, Jack Ryan and The Boys a go.
Until next time, peace out crew...
