What to Know

Critics Consensus

The Class gets a passing grade as an angsty outgrowth of the Doctor Who universe, featuring a likable ensemble of young time travelers who may not measure up to the charisma of the Doctor, but compel with their comparatively earthbound dilemmas.

For better or worse, Class feels hip in a way that no other corner of the Doctor Who universe ever really has. Go to Full Review Maureen Ryan Variety 04/17/2017
What Class doesn't have yet is its very own reason to exist. It generally riffs on the kinds of plots and premises that have been Doctor Who's stock in trade for decades, but on Class, those storylines feel a bit threadbare and padded. Go to Full Review Aja Romano Vox 04/17/2017
2.5/5
It's true that Class has the diverse, beautiful look of a modern series, and tries to walk that effortlessly self-aware path that much of the best modern genre television does so well. But unfortunately for Doctor Who fans, it rarely comes close. Go to Full Review Melody McCune Geek Girl Authority 08/28/2018
I was pleasantly surprised with this series. Go to Full Review Stephanie Holland Geeks of Color 08/19/2018
Overall, Class feels like the BBC version of an average CW show. One of the ones they put on Friday nights to fill out the schedule. Go to Full Review Edie Nugent Common Sense Media 04/25/2017
