The comparisons being drawn between Them, Amazon Prime’s upcoming terror anthology series and Us, Jordan Peele’s 2019 deadly doppelgangers flick, are inevitable.
Both have pronoun titles, jump scares, and beautiful, dark-skinned actors as the leads. Shahadi Wright Joseph even played a set of doppelgangers in Us and plays Ruby Emory in Them. But the similarities pretty much end there — if you don’t count the use of Minnie Riperton’s “Les Fleurs” in both. Conversely, Them, like HBO’s Lovecraft Country, is set in 1950s Jim Crow America and because of this, the two are also sparking correlations on social media.
