The gripping new series premiered last week
The post This new horror series has a 100 per cent Rotten Tomatoes rating appeared first on NME.
A new horror series currently has a 100 per cent rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes.
The second season in the Them anthology series, titled The Scare, premiered on Amazon Prime Video on April 25, and has received a generally positive reception.
The series stars Luke Cage and True Detective’s Deborah Ayorinde, as well as Jackie Brown’s Pam Grier, and singer/songwriter Luke James.
Ayorinde, who also starred in the first season as a different character, plays an LAPD Detective investigating a gruesome murder, set in 1991. As Dawn Reeve gets closer to uncovering the truth, something evil begins to take over her life and her family.
The Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes “represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show”, and for Them: The Scare, it’s currently at 100 per cent.
One review of the eight-episode series read: “Bolstered by its incredibly gifted actors, Them: The Scare is a terrifying supernatural slasher that moves the anthology to the right track.”
Another review described the series as “deeply unsettling” while another noted the deeper themes in the anthology: “Like the first season of Them, the horror in Them: The Scare is as much about institutional racism than it is about some sort of apparition or monster.”
The first instalment in the anthology was titled Covenant, and was released in April 2021. It starred British rapper Ashley Thomas, as well as Us star Shahadi Wright Joseph.
Them: Covenant is set in 1953 and follows a black family who move to an all-white Los Angeles neighbourhood from North Carolina, during the Second Great Migration.
The first season currently has a 58 per cent rating on the Tomatometer, and was met with mixed reviews upon its release.
All episodes of Them: Covenant and Them: The Scare are available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.

“Holy cow. It’s actually happening”
The post Frank Turner’s 3000th gig will be a massive show at London’s Alexandra Palace appeared first on NME.
Frank Turner has announced the details of his 3000th gig, which will be held at London’s Alexandra Palace – find out more below.
The musician took to social media to share the incredible achievement, writing: “Holy cow. It’s actually happening.”
Carter’s 3000th show will take place on February 22, 2025, where Ally Pally will host over 10,000 potential concertgoers.
To access pre-sale tickets, you can pre-order an album in any format from Turner’s web store until May 1, 11:59pm BST. If you have already pre-ordered an album from the store, you will automatically have access to the presale.
Codes will then be sent out May 2, 10am BST, with the presale running from May 3, 10am BST for a week. General sale tickets will then commence on May 10, 10am BST – get your tickets here.
For his 2000th show, Turner took to Nottingham’s Rock City in 2020 with a live-stream for fans stuck in self-isolation during lockdown.
The singer also recently announced his attempt to break the record for most shows played in 24 hours for Music Venue Trust. In celebration of his upcoming 3,000th show and the release of his 10th album ‘Undefeated’ on May 3, Turner will attempt to play 15 shows of minimum 20-minute sets on May 4 from Liverpool to Southhampton.
Turner added: “We’re working with 13 independent record shops and 15 independent grassroots music venues for the shows, highlighting two bits of the infrastructure of the underground that I care about most. It’s going to be tough, but hopefully fun too. Come down for a show!” Find tickets for the tour here.
Meanwhile, Turner announced details of his new record in January this year, sharing it was about “survival and defiance, but also one with a sense of fun and self-deprecation.”
“19 years into my solo career, I’m still standing up and putting out some of my best work. It feels good.”
He also spoke to NME about the importance of going to gigs after Covid-19, saying: “We’re trying to remind people that going to independent gigs is fun, and teaching the kids who came of age in 2020 or 2021 that this is a cool thing to do. My role in this is twofold – to shout about it whenever I can and be positive and say it’s a really fucking cool thing to go to indie gigs.
“Don’t fucking go to an arena gig where you get charged nine quid for a beer!”
