Betty spent all her time hating and despising “THEM”Emorys when the people closest to her were her real enemies. Her parents, her husband, her milk man.

So much trauma was in this series. The anger it brings is no joke. Black people Please take the time to get your mind right after you finish the series. Our people suffered so much.

Betty said they will move here like mold....then finds her whole house has a mold infestation. Basically meaning she has a lot more internal threats. The calls are coming from inside the house Betty.

I can only imagine what the actors/actresses endured while getting into character for this film.

The actor who played the blackface tap dancer did a amazing job

You’re missing one thing. The foreshadowing at the beginning that it’s “very rare” to have a basement in Compton. That being the same basement that they were in when the church building burned down. Right?

That Tap Dance man and his scary horse teeth was the scariest character, every-time he came on I’d look away!

"Get out" , "them" , "us " are shows and movies that will go down as classics

It’s crazy how Betty spent all her time hating her neighbors when she should’ve been watching her main enemies smh

That little girl is a hella actor! I hope she does well in life and doesn’t fall victim to the kid actor curse and/or worse! I’m excited what other projects she’ll do next, she should do something fun or comedic next, would hate to see her typecast

I do love that Betty didn’t get a stupid redemption arc and was killed so poetically

Honestly, this was one of the hardest series I ever had to watch. In the beginning, I was more excited than intrigued to watch it, but as the series continued my heart started to sink into my asshole. This series was no joke. It’s very triggering and traumatic and I STRONGLY advise anyone who chooses to watch it, have discretion and take breaks if you have to.

Every actor on this series was amazing

I love how this show forces you to get uncomfortable. Too many “black struggle movies” are sugar coated and watered down to the point where I feel like it’s just not taken as seriously but this show demonstrates the struggles of poc in such a raw and gut wrenching way and it forces you to think about things

When Betty died like a animal I really loved that.🙂

Poetic justice was Betty getting slapped by Lucky and the James Brown Screech is played on the soundtrack his song payback, fitting for the scene the sas walking Away, GOLD

I need a whole week to process this show.

GET OUT It’s THEM or US

Me and my boyfriend literally watched up til 5 am I had to watch fairly odd parents afterwards 😂I was terrified

Excellent breakdown. U mentioned the house may have been close to where hiram made his covenant but I think that's the actual basement therefore that's where he resided hence all the interactions in the basement had some element of evil to it. I love this show although it was hard to watch

Melody Hurd whom played Gracie was a phenomenal actress. She should be put up there for an Emmy for her performance. That cat in the bag scene at the school shook my soul! 👏🏽 👏🏽 👏🏽

I understand the backlash this has had from some of the black community with it being at times extremely gut wrenchingly disturbing to uncomfortable level. I also think this show has a TON of balls for dealing with these themes so head on. I think this show will eventually gain a large audience the more people see it and people start to have a dialogue about it.

1996-2003 my fam was the only black fam in a all white neighborhood. I felt everything the Emory's want through with those neighbors. The show hits different when you've actually been through some of that fr

I still haven’t gotten passed episode 5 when lucky was getting assaulted........ my God I cried. Like damn like ugh it makes me so mad

Umm Doris kept telling ruby she was beautiful, and then hit her with Ruby’s insecurity of being black. I took that as Ruby’s pain of wishing she was lighter skinned, or possibly even wanting to be white. So heartbreaking!

Tap dance man was extremely emotional for me as colored people we all have his voice in our head when dealing with non colored folk

I think you left out some things about Henry and the tap dance man. For me I think the tap dance man represents the rage built inside a person of color that has to be suppress because society would consider us savages if we show angry in anyway. So he in the show tries to keep his composure but whilst doing so his rage is amplified and played on by the tap dance man.

this show is criminally underrated I've literally heard zero people talk of it when it came out. When I first saw it I understood that this show isn't for the faint of heart, but more so I think that's why no one wants to talk about it really, it's too brutal and real despite the fact that it's full of demons and ghosts and whatnot.

I’m so pissed your other video was demonetized. You did a phenomenal job with your breakdown and this is coming from a black American women who studied history.

I’m pretty sure this show could drive someone insane.

I loved the fact that the black woman pulled her family from each person's sunken place. This movie showed how eerie and wicked this system that we live in really is

“Cat in a bag” traumatizes me now😀

I believe each family has their ghost to represent something. The little girl represents black education, The Teen girl represents fear of growing up, wanting to be pretty and not like her mom, The Father represents hate and he also tries to protect the family, The Mother tries to keep the family together.

I love how Betty’s gay husband was able to sympathise with the Emorys since he also belonged to a marginalised group.

it was well-written to see how Betty’s stereotypical view, condescension, and disgust towards the Emory family came full circle. it was kinda’ poetic to see her death subtly mirroring several representations of what many black slaves had endured back then: imprisoned to a farm/plantation, put in a hole/hotbox, shot when escaping for freedom. the negativity with how she saw the black race manifested as her death.

Gracie, Betty, and the Blackface man did such great acting jobs. I loved Betty's facial expressions and Gracie's intense acting

It's amazing: twilight zone mixed with American horror story and The Shining, blended with Toni Morrison's"beloved". It's rare to see shows like this.

I have a relative that counsels survivors like Betty, and a lot of them had untreated STDs or had botched abortions when they were younger, leaving them infertile or unable to have children as adults.

I had to fast forward through some parts like when they were tossing the baby around and when the neighbors of the Emory family went over to terrorize them about Betty missing. A lot of it disturbed my soul, but I got through it. Series and movies like Them enrages me so I had to watch it a bit at a time, but the acting was amazing! I kept watching because I was looking to see some proud moments and a happy ending.

Tap Dance Man: WHATYA GON DOOOO 🎶😬😬😬🎶 what an amazing actor! That damn mouth and giant teeth had me so scared 😱

The blackface tap dancer has to win an Oscar. Amazing performance. As a movie buff I would hand him an Oscar because he was simply amazing. One of the better performances I’ve seen in a long time.

This was the craziest show I’ve ever seen. So brutal but so well done

This show is extremely triggering, expect to feel uncomfortable. I had to finish and I am glad I did. The writing was great. The acting was amazing. I liked that it had factual events from American history and showed a beautiful loving dark skinned black family. It felt like a season of American horror story that hit too close to home. The message will go over a lot of peoples head.

If you get emotional easily don’t watch this show. This was an amazing series and salute the actors they played their roles very well. This show had me on edge so many times I could feel my heart beating through my chest as if I was actually there

The Jim Crow character deserves a Oscar & Golden Globe! "Whatcha Gonna do" is temptation at ur finest. I'm so happy to see Paula Jai Parker in some big supporting roles. She did good too here. Overall this picture has ur mind flowing all over the place. For min. I thought I was fighting with the devil too. Like Get behind me Satan!!

Its amazing how much the show is filled with metaphorical scenes

This show made me so angry like I can’t even explain how enraged I felt

I wanted them to explain more about Betty and her murder

The wallpaper covered the mold... that couldn't be scrubbed out..

This show tore my heart apart. . . Be prepared!

If this show didn’t fire my people’s spiritual tongue then idk! This fueled me something fierce because in many ways it’s relevant to today. If you learn anything by this learn that you are powerful and you carry an energy unlike anything else on this earth!

I hate the tap dance man character but I love his acting it’s so creepy and perfect

What a true masterpiece. The rollercoaster of emotions that this series takes you on is commanding and demanding. Every actor is worth their weight in gold. Side note, who was desperately waiting for something tragic to happen to Henry's boss?

Also I think the scene when Henry was going to shoot the pregnant woman was a symbolization to it not actually being Henry as the tap dance man manipulating his ptsd to hatred and not pain as he used to experience. Essentially proving that its not in henrys nature to hate but Its the tap dance man trying to get him to be the stereotype that they make him out too be

Jesus, this is hard to watch. I can't even imagine people being this evil but I know it has and does exist.

The slap Lucky gave Betty,then tha James Brown music 🎶 afterwards..it was just rite on time. When Gracie tore up Ms. Vera.

This gets deep man this show was crazy but eye opening at the same time we are our demons the devil can be inside you it’s up to us to not give in

The actors did good, a lil too good for me. It was all too real of what my ancestors went through

The delivery of the Tap Dance Man was so rediculously good it's unbelievable

Just finished the series!!!This is a good synopsis and breakdown!!! I thought it was deep, thought provoking, powerful, triggering and very very real with all the parallels and messages! Really well done 👍🏽

The series was fantastic! Although the cat in the bag scene will haunt me forever!

I was literally just looking for this video. Thought I was going crazy

I binged the whole show the same day I watched it. But you explaining it makes me realize just how amazing it truly is.

I really appreciate your statement at the beginning. That says a lot about who you are and thank you for your sensitivity and openness to be corrected! Great video!

I also saw it that Haram Epps, man in the black hate, may also have endured hallucination from malaria when he drunk the well water. He only started going crazy after drinking the well water. So with his hallucinations and the deal with devil caused this craziness to happen.

I thought Lucky had some sort of power as when she walked to the house the fire encircled (protecting the Emorys from the mob outside) I thought it was possibly from the woman killed by the devil before it was Compton who cursed the town and set it all on fire

The breakdown of this show was excellent. The theory of each evil presence that visited each was really one was something that I didn't see before. the show was and is still hard to watch and digest but your breakdown was on point.

I like that you noted that Betty's trauma doesn't excuse or humanize her but contextualizes her bigotry/hatred. I know a lot of people have been critical (and sometimes rightfully so) of villains being given a tragic backstory or trauma in their past, seeing it as a way to "justify" their current behavior. Or that it might somehow be a statement that people who've been through trauma will inevitably become evil or villainous. What needs to be noted though is that, very rarely, do people act horribly without some kind of damage somewhere in their past. Yes, most people who've been through trauma are perfectly normal, good people, but, unfortunately, some do go on to inflict their trauma on others. Also, two things can be true at once; Betty Wendell is an awful, racist woman, and what has been done to her by her parents and what the Milkman does to her is absolutely horrible and indefensible too. You can condemn a person but condemn awful things done to them too. I like that the show has enough nuance in its writing to show that you can explain something without excusing it.

RU-vid is more preoccupied with censoring the word than preventing the actions the word describes.....

This was the best explained video I found🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

I honestly think this is one of the BEST shows I have ever watched. There is so much to take in with so much depth. I am in awe.

Unreal breakdown bro!! You hit every nail on the head and have given clarity to perhaps complex concepts and imagery. This show was amazing start to finish and has done it’s job to teach us the many complexities of humanity! Bravo

Uhh where’s “and remember, daddy loves you very much.” ☹️🤔

I just knew this show was gonna be great and it definitely did not let me down

This show deserved a Emmy.. everyone did an amazing job with the acting❤️

This was a great explanation. Always love your hard work!

I don’t see why they demonetized your video, your review/analysis was on point. I also see that they forced you to take out the “NAT KING COLE” reference. Just goes to show somethings just stay the same. As I said in your FIRST rendition of “THEM” I definitely liked the show even though I had to watch it in spurts.

This show really showed me how bad it was back then and how much privilege i have now.I will never watch this show again I love it but hate it at the same time it’s like the show *when they see us* It’s too much trauma

Thank you for the disclosure in the beginning. That was very kind of you

Thanks for explaining a few things. Fantastic series. Brilliant scripting, casting, music, shots.

I could've sworn that I watched this video last night. Either way, I don't mind watching it again. Great commentary and thank you for the research you did into the history behind the story ❤

This show left me with more questions than answers so your breakdown is excellent!

Great Breakdown ! Also I encourage you guys to not binge watch it entirely and take a break just as I did and comeback to finish it. It’s a lot to take in and this will make it easier to process. And if you’re having trouble sleeping afterwards try putting on a RU-vid vlog or podcast! It helps!

Thank you so much for reviewing this show. Not many people are. And it's a beautiful show with a wonderful message. Your review was very insightful. I really enjoyed the video. And I was not aware that this was an anthology show. So I'm looking forward to season 2 even more because of you

I had to get Amazon prime just for this 😭

Easily the best break down ever after finishing this last night. Thank you

Amazing show! Thanks for the break down. Nice work

Great breakdown. You’ve illuminated so many points that I missed.

this is one of the best shows ive ever seen

This scene brought me to literal tears 🥺😢😭. Thanks Shahadi Wright Joseph for your incredible performance in ‘Them’

I binged this over the last couple of days, couldn’t stop watching even though it’s hard to watch at times due to the brutal treatment some characters experience. The actors were phenomenal all around, especially the Emory’s. The woman who played Luck is simply stunning as well.

Breathtakingly elegant analysis/&dissection👑📽

I feel like the way that they advertised this was like they were trying to trick us into thinking this was actually by Jordan Peele. But from ur breakdown it feels more like Lovecraft Country. I was so disappointed when I found out it wasn't by Peele tho... I'm still gonna give it a chance, I guess.

love how authentic the scenes were its good to shed and educate viewers how this was less than 80 years ago

This was a very well-written series and I really liked watching it. Each character brought to the set many different emotions, fears, anger, etc. I fell in love with Lucky, her husband and both daughters and my heart broke for their suffering and pain, all the while just wanting to be in a better place. The neighbors were savage in behavior showing how ignorance and fear can manipulate a situation. The cast was excellent, especially the Emery Family.

I started watching yesterday and had two nightmares about it.

Amazing breakdown as always!

Thank you for explaining this end so well, my thoughts exactly.. Interesting part I missed and you highlighted it so well "a wounded heart is like a door..." "you can walk through the door"

Thanks for this great video! I loved the show so much and this video helped to answer many questions. 😍🥸
