Kate Mara and Brian Tyree Henry in Class of '09 (2023)

Review by eighmii

Class of '09

9/10

LOVE this style of storytelling

While I haven't finished the show just yet, I think it's okay to rate this purely for the storytelling and journey thus far. I believe that if you thoroughly enjoy the experience of watching a show, getting engaged with it, and needing to use your brain and actually think while piecing it all together on the path to the end, it's typically worthy of your time spent watching even if the end winds up being a dud or a let down (which I'm not saying is the case for Class of 09 - I just haven't gotten there yet and know that it's definitely a possibility).

I really really love when shows/miniseries find creative ways to tell a story, especially when they add additional suspense or mystery. The non-linear, yet easily understandable style chosen by the creators and writers of this show allowed them to build a vast universe which made it possible to flesh out its fantastic ensemble cast of characters and tell a very thorough story spanning the course of 25 years- and they did so in only 8 episodes.

Class of 09 has definitely surpassed my expectations so far. It is definitely not just another cop drama or law enforcement thriller. The cast is amazing. The production value is great despite a couple other reviewers needing to nitpick and find problems. The cinematography is better than that of many movies or miniseries which it's comparable to; and it's highly engaging from the beginning of the first episode.

In the past few years of television taking bigger risks, I've been on a constant hunt to find unique stories like this. If you are into crime fiction and enjoyed 'Bodies' (2023 British miniseries), Cruel Summer (2021-2023 YA anthology), and other time-jumping type of series (not to be confused with time travel), then I highly suggest giving 'Class of 09' a chance.
