And just like that – here comes spring. Amazon Prime‘s list of new releases for April 2021 isn’t as cheery as one would expect from the sunny season. But perhaps that’s by design – you should be outside anyway!
Amazon’s most prominent original series for April 2021 is undoubtedly Them from multi-hyphenate Lena Waithe. This horror anthology’s first season, subtitled “Covenant”, will center on a Black family in the 1950s who move from North Carolina to a white neighborhood in Los Angeles. It premieres on April 9. Given its name and premise, Them is drawing some (largely joke-y) comparisons to Jordan Peele’s Us on social media. But hey, the world could always use some more Us.

ReviewDespite an underwhelming beginning, director Jofin T Chacko picks up the thread and weaves an intriguing tale.CrisWhen a young woman walks into his home, opening the unlocked door, Father Benedict is not shocked. He calmly asks her who she is and after giving a name she immediately asks for his help in a case. There is no introduction, no formalities, not even curiosity and you wonder if it is going to be a long, disappointing film. For this is how The Priest introduces the character of Mammootty, soon after a disconnected hospital scene and a song. But it is not that the dialogue writers forgot to add those missing lines. If it has to make sense, the movie has to proceed towards the interval when Father Benedict, in his priest's robes and a dog following him, is more properly introduced. A lot of The Priest is written in this manner.
