The first season of Them is about a black family coming to live in a white neighbourhood in 1953. The people there aren't happy with this. All events that happen to family can be seen as spoilers, so that is why we didn't go into them.
The second season of Them is about a different family but also have to deal with a lot of racial issues. This is during the period the Rodney King riots happened. The lead is played by Deborah Ayorinde, who returns to the show as a different character, Detective Dawn Reeve. I know it is a little confusing at first, I guess that is the idea, but it will make sense. In hindsight, they could and should have done more with the serial killer element. And with that I mean to give you many red herrings and such. It's too on the nose. And stories like these often work better if you are subtle.
