    To the reviewers stating that the negative reviews are because people are somehow against black actors, black shows, and black movies....I say WOW. I can list a great number of very popular black actors, films, and shows; the problem is in the fact that the last few years have basically had black Hollywood to exclusively address the witch problem...oh sorry, I mean the racism problem.

And isn't it funny how in order to fight racism, you have to attack an entire race (white people)? I am sick and tired of it and I am waiting for the rest of society to be sick and tired of it too. I hope this show fails because it deserves to fail. Not only is it racially divisive, it is just not enjoyable.… Expand

    I thought the acting, cinematography, production design were all top notch and so I'll give a few positive stars for that. But as for the show itself I went into it thinking it was going to be sort of a twilight zone/horror show. But what disappointed me was it just seemed like a big corporation (Amazon) trying to exploit a terrible and tragic situation in the the US for profit for whatI thought the acting, cinematography, production design were all top notch and so I'll give a few positive stars for that.

    Racism should be the topic of serious discussion not for ratings and selling advertising space for Amazon Prime memberships.    … Expand

    This show is a heap of shock value trash. I am sick & tired of how far these shows are going to depict racism, we get it.

    The result is a jumbled mess that ends up having nothing to say. If Them is trying to be an allegory of racial tensions in America, then it’s too simplistic; if it’s trying to be a straightforward horror, it’s not simple enough.

    Them spins an engaging concept. powerful performances and visuals to die for. But its obsession with Black trauma leaves everything off-kilter.

    For all Covenant's effectiveness at depicting the insane frustration of black life in America in 1950, it still has multiple failings as a drama, particularly on the supernatural side of story.
