Series Review: "Them: The Scare" Is a Fright-Filled Must-See

Series Review: “Them: The Scare” Is a Fright-Filled Must-See

Season two of “Them: The Scare” has premiered on Prime Video, so we can finally discuss it. I’ve seen the first five episodes, and I have some thoughts. Let me start by saying that I found the first season of “Them” (review) tough to watch, but not in a bad way. It was brilliant and easily one of the most unnerving things I’ve ever watched, and that’s saying a lot. It had me feeling a gambit of emotions but left me heartbroken because of what the characters had to face. Season two of the anthology series is a whole different monster. Season two moves from the 1950s of the first season to 1990s Los Angeles. The story centers on LAPD Detective Dawn Reeve (Deborah Ayorinde), a hardened investigator tasked with solving a series of brutal murders that began with a foster mother. The body is found bent and twisted in unnatural ways, her face locked in a terrible expression. This
