Scaring the Master
Amazon Prime Video: THEM, starting tomorrow. 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.

Them scared in the maestro of horror himself, Stephen King. And we’re pretty sure it wasn’t the supernatural part that scared him the most.

It doesn’t take long for Them to get your blood pressure rising. We can speak from experience.

Deborah Ayorinde definitely a breakout star of Them. If you didn’t recognize her talent in Luke Cage (Candance) or the movie Harriet (Rachel Ross), it’s hard to miss it now.

It’s a real trip seeing the Alison Pill we know and love ( Star Trek: Picard, The Newsroom) play such a horrific villain. But he does it so well.

Some people think the white cast of Them pulled off their roles a little too well. Just remember: exploring the kinds of conversations behind closed doors – on both sides – was a bold thing to try. The whole cast did their jobs well if we feel so uncomfortable watching.
Let’s Never Do This Again
I’m going to finish #THEM but let’s not do this again. We have a lot of folklore, urban legends, horror stories that can be told without incorporating Black trauma in high ass volumes. This series did the most and not in a good way. pic.twitter.com/1IRHZOqco9

That was powerful, thought-provoking TV. Now let’s never do it again, please.
