‘Them': New Amazon Prime Series Is a Lot of Things … But It’s Not ‘Us’ There are similarities to Jordan Peele’s thriller due to marketing, but that’s where the comparisons endAndrea Towers | April 11, 2021 @ 8:51 PM Amazon (This article contains some light spoilers for the new Amazon horror series “Them”) Even before “Them” premiered, comparisons were already being drawn to a popular horror film: Jordan Peele’s critically acclaimed 2019 horror film “Us.” Sure, the 10-episode Amazon Prime series from creator Little Marvin and executive producer Lena Waithe is definitely similar — both films follow Black families, are about home invasions, and even use the same actor (Shahadi Wright Joseph). And even the marketing implies that the two are alike, as the posters and trailer and even the font used in the title invoke Peele’s work.
