    While the show knows how to juggle the heavier issues and high-concept scenarios, it doesn’t skimp on the fun. There are plenty of wicked pop culture references, over-the-top set pieces, old-fashioned fight scenes and all manner of gross blood and chunky viscera.

    Class could have benefited from a slower approach to its world building. Despite those weaknesses, however, Class is a highly engaging, highly watchable addition to the Doctor Who universe.

    While Class clearly has potential, it’s definitely way too early to say it comes close to rivaling Joss Whedon’s masterpiece; the show’s not nearly as subversive or as fun. And that’s perfectly okay because what we get is still pretty entertaining--even when it gets lost in its own darkness--thanks to a talented cast and a few standout episodes.

    The performances are solid, the actors--especially the younger set--are sympathetic and appealing. Ness has made an effort to make them seem like real high school kids, even having a gay couple sleep together.

    A Teen Adult Drama within Sci-fi Horror Genre made in a similar recipe to Doctor Who but I would not call it a spin-off as the stories/plot can standalone in each season.

    I found both seasons likeable & enjoyed watching each episode; it left me awaiting the next season both times (I want/hope for S3)

    The actors are improving/good & the characters are getting further developed but the storylines & screenplay could be better. Don't overthink about plot etc and you will enjoy watching Class.    … Full Review »
