Class of '09: Miniseries

"Class of '09 is never boring, playing with structure and theme in a way that doesn’t feel like anything else on TV."

"Class of ’09 has ambition but, like many a starry-eyed freshman, spreads itself too thin."

"It feels like a broadcast TV show from a decade ago — specifically like Quantico..."

"It's a smart and timely series. But by its halfway point, it's yet to feel like a vital one."

"Class of ’09... cleverly plays with procedural tropes in order to deliver an ambitious story."

"Class of ’09 may eventually put all its pieces together... but its first half is too frustrating and empty to justify continued viewing."

"It’s a show more engaging to think about than it ultimately is to watch."

"(Mara, Henry and Moafi) are the saving graces of Class of ’09, an otherwise serviceable but occasionally disoriented FBI thriller..."

"On the whole it comes in as pretty good, rather than great..."

"There’s so much going on, most of it is underdeveloped and even shallow at times. There are worthy performances in the mix... but the actors are working with scattered material."

"(A) cerebral, ambitious, but frustratingly paced tale of human fallibility and technological overreach."

"The personal lives of the characters can grow emotionally moribund. But the action sequences... are grippingly violent and intelligently so."

"SKIP IT. Class Of ’09 is too busy jumping between timelines to tell a cohesive story that has any kind of momentum."
