Mid century appliances shown on Amazon series “THEM”

[stan]

Been watching “Them” on Amazon.
It’s very well done and the plot is frightening/disturbing.
For those here that are interested.. especially mid century modern kitchens of the time, check out
“THEM”
The cars are what initially caught my attention, then got hooked on the plot.

I sampled S1:E4. Interesting kitchen appliances in two different homes. I saw in the credits that the play is done in British Columbia, so I supposed that I was looking at Canadian versions of US manufacturers? It amused me that Betty's kitchen has this deluxe wall oven and cooktop set, but the refrigerator looks cheap and has no separate, top-mount freezer. But, that may be the only thing that the props master or set decorator could find. I am just happy that we were not insulted with wildly out-of-date equipment passed off as being in-period, such as the same 70s Kitchenaid Superba that got passed around multiple sets showing up in: "The Sandlot", "Driving Miss Daisy", "The Long Walk Home." Hard to suspend reality and be transported back to 1955 when I am looking at the same make and model of dishwasher that a family friend bought new in 1975.

Sidebar note: I found it unique that the music for the closing credits was neither period nor present day - it was a popular song from elsewhere in the 1970s.

Your right
Series suppose to be set in is 1954?
I noticed a set of turquoise Maytag’s in one episode?
I don’t think Maytag had those colors or that model machine til later in the decade?
They don’t have it historically perfect! Still I gotta appreciate the effort they made, especially with the color coordination.
The color coordination is suppose to reflect the personality of the character. (I think)
Betty is cold and evil, so her kitchen and furnishings ate cold looking.
