"Them" season 2 is about a detective named Dawn Reeve who works in Los Angeles in 1991. She is investigating a case to determine who killed a foster mother. You will get to see a lot of racism and how it affects people here. Dawn is a black woman working with mostly white cops, and because of racism, she feels very uncomfortable working with them. The show feels tense and scary because of the time it's set in, right after the Rodney King beatings.
Deborah Ayorinde, who was in the first season, plays Dawn this time. She does an excellent job expressing Dawn's roughness and also tenderness. The show has a number of difficult scenes in which you can see how racist certain officers are. There's also a guy named Edmund Gaines who's a standout character because he's both scary and fascinating.
The story is really interesting, murders, riots, and family problems are packed on it. The visuals and effects are excellent, especially when they show characters' emotions. Sometimes it's really scary, but they don't show everything, which can be even scarier.
There are some parts of the story that feel like they don't really matter, like Dawn's relationship with someone, and some things about Edmund that come out of nowhere. Also, there's a part that might be saying something about white people saving black people, but it's not very clear. There's bit sex, nudity, swearing, and violence.
