	Author	Review
United States	Kayla Cobb Decider	"Them is truly great bit of horror wrapped around a biting commentary about American racism."	POS
United States	Elliott Smith IndieWire	"A promising start to a corrosive tale of racism"	POS
United States	Nick Allen rogerebert.com	"The discord appears to come from its two impulses, of both wanting to be gnarly, in-your-face, over-the-top exploitation, while desiring the elegance of high art."	NEU
United States	Lea Anderson Collider	"There are some truly stellar moments but I frequently found myself wondering who exactly this show’s intended audience is supposed to be?"	POS
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"[It] has a lot of promising things going for it (...) But it’s hard not to notice that the show spends 10 episodes dragging out a nearly identical story to what ['Lovecraft Country'] efficiently told in one (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting	"Them’s brilliant pacing and mystery building hooks you from the first scene. If it can maintain that nail-biting momentum, it has the potential to outclass its contemporaries (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Lovia Gyarkye The Hollywood Reporter	"'Them' neither taps fully into the shivery potential of traditional horror nor adds much to what many viewers already know about racial terror in the United States"	NEG
Canada	Cynthia Vinney CBR	"Them emphasizes the deep psychological horror of Black trauma, creating a story in which the actions of real people are ultimately more harrowing than those of any paranormal entity."	POS
United Kingdom	Leslie Byron Pitt Empire	"Them spins an engaging concept. powerful performances and visuals to die for. But its obsession with Black trauma leaves everything off-kilter (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"[It] centers on racism in a manner whose reliance on overstatement winds up feeling surprisingly unimaginative (...) The series gets a great deal right: In visual style and in the performances"	NEU
Ireland	Eoghan Cannon entertainment.ie	"'Them' shows us how a horror anthology series should be done. And done spine-chillingly right"	POS
