![]() I am glad that this talented actor is finally getting mainstream recognition and snatching lead roles. It has all of the elements: good cinematography, provoking themes, and top-notch acting by Brian Tyree Henry. "Class of '09" could have been prestige TV. NOTE: I've only seen the first 3 episodes of 8 so, I can't vouch for the remaining five. ![]() Bottom line: I believe "Class of '09" is an entertaining, middle-weight series, that doesn't ask too much of the viewers.and offers a pleasant way to relax the evening away. But, yes, after a while the cuteness wears off. I can see that it was a nice hook during the series pitch: the viewer gets to see the past & the present-and the results it has on the future. My guess is that people may be put-off by the three separate timelines in which the characters exists. The locations (it's shot in Georgia) bring life to the action, and the production design is a nice mixture of now and future house & design. The characters and storyline is, IMO, a notch above most cops & robbers AND sci-fi that's on any platform. ![]() The performers, of which Kate Mara is the best known, are surprising good. The reviewer, from an online site, felt that "Class of '09" didn't do anything interesting and compared negatively to films like "Minority Report." I agree this is no "Minority Report" and we're not watching Spielberg-but "Class" is a solid series. I literally just stubbled across this show-via a poor review that was linked on Twitter.
