A suspense thriller limited series, "Class of '09," follows a class of FBI agents set in three distinct points in time who grapple with immense changes as the U.S. criminal justice system is altered by artificial intelligence. Spanning multiple decades and told across interweaving timelines, the series examines the nature of justice, humanity and the choices people make that ultimately define their lives and legacy. The series stars Tayo, one of the most unorthodox agents to ever join the bureau, and Poet, one of the most successful undercover agents of all time.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Class of '09 hardly flunks out thanks to an impressive cast and intriguing structure, but anemic execution keeps this series far from being valedictorian.

Craig Mathieson The Age (Australia) Jun 29, 2023
This limited series from British creator Tom Rob Smith (London Spy) is so caught up in its intricate plotting that at times it feels more like an intricate diagram than a human drama. Go to Full Review Valerie Anne Autostraddle May 18, 2023
It shows the evolution of how we talk about race and police corruption from 2009 to 2023, it shows a Black Mirror-esque future where maybe we let our reliance on technology go too far. Go to Full Review Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times May 18, 2023
3/4
Disorienting leaps between timelines mar a series that [otherwise] delivers expertly rendered action sequences and timely commentary about A.I. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof Jan 3, 2024
2/5
Ideas remain dispersed through a series that, ultimately, fails to refine its elements and in which those in charge do not make the proper decisions when presenting the story. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Aug 19, 2023
Tom Rob Smith’s Class of ’09, with its three timelines, seemed to be the very definition of a binge-able thriller. Alas and alack it is not. Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) Jun 27, 2023

brian b @RT76337030 Jan 9, 2024 From start to finish this series takes you back and forth through various time stages. Well executed with a minority report feel to it. See more P M @SpecialistExtent Jan 3, 2024 At times enjoyable, at times like a Youtube production. If ever VFX were bad, here you can find them. See more Chavel D @RT49389525 Jan 1, 2024 Class of 09' was aight... It's seemed to lose it's way the last 2 - 3 episode. If it comes back I hope they can do better.... See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Jul 4, 2023 Very good premise, very bad resolution See more Ben E @Ben107 Jun 22, 2023 Some interesting ideas, characters, and situations. Aiming to use AI to circumvent racism and other bias is thought-provoking. Some of the action sequences were engaging. On the down side, a lot of the effort to be anti-racist was *extremely racist* and when the action choreography wasn't good, it was awful. See more @a-plot-is-a-foot Jun 22, 2023 Thin gruel copaganda. Everything interesting about this series has been done better elsewhere. The biggest hook here is pre-crime. Instead of wasting your hours on this, go read "The Minority Report" by PKD. See more Read all reviews
