Generación 2009

I like the show, it's a solid 7.5. I think there was an expectation that this show would be more faced paced because it's an FBI show. Maybe the trailer didn't do it justice in terms of setting expectations to its space. But I like the characters and with the past, present, and future, it manages to capture the depth of the characters and character motives in a short time. I'm especially enjoying the slow burn and relationship between Or and Poet. I hope it goes where I think it's going. Overall a decent show that I'm excited to finish watching. I do wish they released all the episodes at once, I don't like shows that I have to wait for, I think that method is very outdated. A show for me is most enjoyable when watched over a short period, but especially this show where each episode is important for the next one. I probably would have rated this a lot less if I didn't start watching now and have access to the first four episodes all at once.

This show had a lot of promise. You have Kate Mara and Brian Tyree Henry as well as the excellent Mark Pelligrino playing a Joker type villain. The miniseries begins grounded but falls into extravagant superhero-esque plot contrivances. The cgi is particularly awful when catastrophic scenes or fake mist are put onscreen.

I really was rooting for this show with its ambitious three decades spanning story, but the far-fetched plot and poorly executed action scenes left me feeling cold. It is a shame but thankfully it is only a miniseries that will not continue on.

I have not heard anyone talk about this series, and it is probably for the best.

I literally just stubbled across this show--via a poor review that was linked on Twitter. 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. The performers, of which Kate Mara is the best known, are surprising good. The characters and storyline is, IMO, a notch above most cops & robbers AND sci-fi that's on any platform. 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.

My guess is that people may be put-off by the three separate timelines in which the characters exists. 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. But, yes, after a while the cuteness wears off.

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.

NOTE: I've only seen the first 3 episodes of 8; so, I can't vouch for the remaining five.

While the cast is more than passable (BTH is wonderful as always), and the directing is fine, this style of storytelling is simply not conducive to getting the point across. Three stories from different stages in these characters' lives are interwoven seemingly at random, and regardless of intention, there seems to be no reason for this so far. The scripts feel like they were written for the sole purpose of using a confusing/interesting method of storytelling, and don't feel any deeper than that. And even if it eventually ties together in a compelling way, only one of these three storylines has any intrigue. Perhaps it will right itself later on, but as of now, there isn't much to latch onto.

First off the synopsis written here is absolutely wrong. It's not about a group of FBI agents reunited after a classmates death.

As per Wikipedia: "The series takes place across three distinct time periods: The Past (2009), The Present (2023 and 2025) and The Future (2034) and follows the lives and careers of a team of FBI recruits whilst focusing on the transformation of the U. S. criminal justice system as it is altered by the growing use of artificial intelligence to predict future crimes." Having watched all 8 episodes I can confirm this to be 100% accurate.

The premise was there and relevant given the world we live in today. That said it was somewhat predicable.

If you've seen 'Minority Report' you've basically seen 'Class of '09.' All in all not an original idea.
