Lena Waithe is drawing criticism and comparisons to Jordan Peele for her and Little Marvin‘s forthcoming Amazon anthology series, “Them.”
[Amazon Releases ‘Them’ Trailer From Little Marvin & Lena Waithe]
Ironically, the official trailer for “Them” dropped on the two-year anniversary of the release of Jordan Peele’s thriller, Us.
