Forget American Horror Story, Prime Video Just Dropped Its Perfect Replacement With 100% Tomatometer

Summary:

• Detective shows with a grain of supernatural tint have been gaining momentum in recent years — and another show like this has just landed on Prime Video.
• The series follows a private investigator who takes up an eerie murder case that later on starts haunting her own family as well.
• The brand new show appears to be a part of an anthology the first installment of which was released back in 2021.

The detective genre mixed with something paranormal-ish has been a key to streaming success for quite a long time now — and Prime Video’s brand new series turns out to be one more proof for it.

Though it’s been only several days since Them: The Scare dropped on the platform and joined the first part of the whole anthology, Covenant, the show has surely managed to capture everyone’s attention and even now can boast of a perfect score.

Them: The Scare makes a big time jump compared to the first part that took place in 1953 and will now take the viewers to the 1990s. This time the plot follows LAPD Homicide Detective Dawn Reeve, who is portrayed by season 1’s actress Deborah Ayorinde, as she embarks on her own investigation of an eerie murder of a foster mother.

The case becomes even more challenging when Dawn finds out that many other terrified detectives gave it up due to its gruesomeness — and then something “ominous and malevolent” starts chasing Detective Reeve’s family too.

Though the show got its official release on April 25, the first glowing reviews are already in — and they do bring a very good omen for the anthology’s future.

Them: The Scare now holds an impressive score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, despite the fact that there are not so many reviews in there yet — but, as the series will be gaining more viewers during its first weeks on the platform, the chances that its rating will downgrade much are quite low.

As the show’s creator and showrunner Little Marvin has recently revealed regarding the era that the second installment of the anthology is set in, the crew initially aimed at creating some kind of mix of horror unfolding with “Los Angeles’s rich history and evolution” in its background.

Them: The Scare can now be streamed on Prime Video.
