Class of '09

I really liked the show, super interesting compared to allot of tv shows out now days.

My only complaint is the time jumps made it confusing for no reason, to be honest if they had run the show with a linear timeline I think it would have been more enjoyable. The time jumps really didn't add anything to the show and I think the storyline and premise of the show would have been strong enough to captivate the audience without trying to be mystical and time jump.

I would have also enjoyed seeing more of their training timeline and their relationships evolving throughout their time at the academy.

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.

What if Artificial Intelligence entered the criminal justice system?

This series deals with a possible scenario. Considering this series was shot before Microsoft went public with their AI system and Google Bard is in hot pusuit, the makers could be said to have made a pretty impressive "prediction" of where AI is headed.

It's no more about the jobs that may be lost due to big tech companies and their elite CEO'Ss employing AI for economic benefit. It's a question now of what if AI prosecutes the innocent, or maybe ... what if AI finds these very same elite guilty of crimes? A computer incapable of being bribed, coerced or influenced.

The possibilities are endless. Thos series on Hulu is watchable, gripping, and takes viewers down a dark tunnel we're only beginning to wake up to.

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.
