Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com With absolutely fantastic performances and characters written with depth, the series explores different themes in such a way that it all rushes at you relentlessly episode after episode. Rated: 4.5/5 Jul 4, 2024 Full Review Chris Joyce Movies and Munchies (YouTube) The theme of generational trauma is executed well, using layered character elements along with visceral and disturbing imagery to produce a pointed social commentary that unfortunately is still more than relevant today. Rated: 4.5/5 May 23, 2024 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network Deborah Ayorinde once again delivers a strong leading performance, balanced by Luke James, which makes Them: The Scare worth checking out, but it does not work, as a whole, as well as last season. Rated: 6/10 May 3, 2024 Full Review Aglaia Berlutti Hipertextual Them: The Scare, the second instalment of the anthology, is a brilliant piece of psychological body horror, much more interesting and better crafted than its predecessor. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: A+ May 1, 2024 Full Review Brandon Avery Just My Opinion Reviews A magnificent yet horrid depiction of how trauma is passed down through generations. Rated: 7.5/10 Apr 29, 2024 Full Review Jorge Loser Espinof ... We can finally say that we have the first great horror series of the year.

Scott M Tied with The Haunting of Hill House for the scariest and most heart-wrenching horror tv show I've ever seen. Season 1 was good, but this season is incredible. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/24/25 Full Review Julia I Not very good. Actors mediocre at BEST 👎🏼 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/25 Full Review Ricardo d Começou morno, mas com um propósito. No fim, tudo se encaixa divinamente. Diferente da primeira temporada onde o climax não se encaixa e alguns arcos terminam de forma forçada, aqui tudo fica bem explicado, editado e genialmente se conecta com a primeira temporada. A história é mais coesa, e o real se conecta com o sobrenatural de forma mais sensata. Um destaque ao personagem Edmund que fez maravilhas nesta fase. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Audience Member Massively underrated/under-promoted horror-thriller series. A suspenseful, thought-provoking and frequently terrifying storyline, with committed performances and atmospheric visuals/soundtrack. If you like Se7en, Candyman, and Jordan Peele movies you'll love this. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/25 Full Review Tom F Some very effective moments, but like season one it doesn’t come together as a series. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/24/24 Full Review Tammarra's L This season was as interesting as the last season. I would love to see a season 3. Hopefully the writers can keep it coming. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Read all reviews
