Re: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and other TV Snippets
Amazon has ordered a horror event series called Them.
They seem confident it will do well as they have ordered two seasons initially.
Quote:
... the first season, Them: Covenant, takes place in 1952 and centers on Alfred and Lucky Emory, who decide to move their family from North Carolina to an all-white Los Angeles neighborhood. The family’s home on a tree-lined, seemingly idyllic street becomes ground zero where malevolent forces both real and supernatural threaten to taunt, ravage and destroy them.

Why would they? The U.K. audience for any of those featured will eclipse figures for anything on Netflix, Amazon or Sky Atlantic, and especially so amongst the Grauniad’s target demographic.
Also, despite the fact that such things are clearly not to your taste, any period drama made for BBC1 or ITV is not going to be cheap, and if it’s adapted by Andrew Davies or an original screenplay by the likes of Phoebe Waller-Bridge it isn’t going to be naff, either.

What they should have said was the 10 best shows 'in their opinion'

Why? Anything written by a TV critic in a newspaper is their opinion. This is generally well understood. It’s a waste of space to keep reminding readers of what they ought to know already.
