Ok. So where is the M/TV thread on Them (Amazon)

Ten episodes of easily the most toxic, racist hate-porn ive ever seen.

I think I will skip this one

Didn't Amazon have another show somewhat like this where they were hunting nazis.

I thought Amazon had made a series on gigantic, nuclear radiated ants. I am disappoint...

Oops, I see this took place in the 1950's...nothing like never letting the injustices of the past go.

So ill give you my loose interpretation. Which is as cornbread white as it comes I guess

The guy is WWII vet. Who comes home from fighting bravely and gets an engineering degree from a local college in rural NC. He has 3 children and while he's at the movies one fine day with his 2 daughters some deliverance type hicks come rape his wife and beat his newborn to death swinging it wrapped in a sheet like a bag of laundryfor no reason. So they move out west in the "great migration". To an all white Compton neighborhood, for maximum irony I suppose. But his entire neighborhood of dysfunctional bizarre crackers completely lose their shite. They kill the family dog, torture them, hang the husband just short of death, wife is placed an an asylum etc. These white people are basically orcs crawling up from the depths of Mordor to poison everything in their path. It left me hating white people too

Thank you. That's all I need to know.

Curiously, "Little Marvin" hasn't done anything really associated with film in 15 years. And this is what he springs on us.

It started out great, and then totally went off the rails about the time Betty went out to the milkman's dairy farm.

As antagonists go, however, the Tap Dance Man is about as brilliant as they come. That was an amazing character.
