Tom Rob Smith’s Class of ’09 released its third episode today, and we’re starting to understand how the intimidating technology of the future, which arrests people based on predictions, came into being. In the previous episodes, we found Ashley Poet (Kate Mara) being assigned to seek out her FBI batchmate Hour Nazari (Sepideh Moafi) in 2034. Additionally, the FBI director of the future, Tayo Michaels, realized domestic terrorist Mark Tupirik was planning something big and needed to be stopped in 2023. With the well-being of the entire country at stake, Tayo needs to apprehend Tupirik early. The episode opens with Poet learning to do a J-turn with a car in Quantico in 2009 before things turned serious. So, how exactly do things turn serious in Episode 3 of Class of ’09?

FX‘s Class of ’09 is taking the FBI genre to another level on Hulu, presenting a story spanning three distinctive points in time. Centering around a young class of FBI agents, the series tracks their journey through the system and the changing U.S. criminal justice system which is altered by artificial intelligence. Poet (Kate Mara) and Hour (Sepideh Moafi) are among those agents. Classmates and roommates, Poet and Hour’s bond is explored in the three timelines, beginning in 2009, in present-day 2023, and in the future. “I was intrigued by exploring the three different time periods in a person’s life,” Mara tells TV Insider. Admittedly, the actress says, “When I read the first couple of episodes, Brian Tyree [Henry] was already attached, so I was really excited to get the chance to work with him.” Along with Henry, Brian J. Smith features beside Mara and Moafi. (Credit: Richard Ducree...

Hulu and FX’s newest release in the sci-fi/thriller genre is a fresh take on a group of FBI trainees who grow up to move to separate paths in life, only to be brought back together because of a common problem. Created by Tom Rob Smith, who also authored the story Class of ’09, it centers around FBI graduates, each of whom has separate interests in life, but nobody is willing to lay down their cards, at least not this early in the series. The show stars Kate Mara, Brian Tyree Henry, Brian Smith, and Sepideh Moafi, among others, and although it’s too early to give a decisive verdict, some of the actors are doing justice to their roles. Here’s what happens in the first two episodes:

Before we even meet the class of 2009 in “Class of ’09,” we’re in the year 2034 being introduced to Tayo Michaels (Brian Tyree Henry), who — according to a news chyron — is the director of the FBI. Soon after, when we’re in what the show’s chyrons repeatedly call “The Past,” we learn Tayo is, surprise surprise, a member of the titular class, and he’s struggling to pass a physical at Quantico — a physical he must complete in order to become an FBI agent.
So… are we meant to think the future FBI Director really isn’t going to graduate? Should we be wondering if he only made it into the Bureau because of special treatment? Or, assuming the flash-forward is meant to steer attention away from if he graduates and toward how he graduates, should we be focused on the casual discrimination he faces from one of his fellow students?...

In the spring of 2020, a handful of shows developed to air on the basic cable channel FX instead debuted exclusively on Hulu. It was an attempt to better integrate different parts of the Disney corporate family in the aftermath of Disney acquiring most of Fox’s film and television assets, as well as an acknowledgment that more and more viewers were waiting to watch shows on streaming. Cutting out the legacy media middleman just seemed like a logical next step toward the medium’s future.
It was also, however, extremely confusing.

The premise of the limited series “Class of ‘09” is a familiar form of dystopia: in the near future, law enforcement has come to rely on technology that skirts the line between police work and a police state. “Class of ‘09” shares a blueprint with classics like “Minority Report,” then adds a timely twist. The FX show’s Orwellian innovation is an algorithm powered by artificial intelligence, the kind of tool now at the center of all kinds of public anxiety, including the ongoing writers strike.
“Class of ‘09” is created and written by Tom Rob Smith, the British scribe best known to Americans as the force behind “The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” the second installment of Ryan Murphy anthology “American Crime Story.” That season, an underrated masterpiece, scrambled the typical chronology of true crime, beginning with the titular murder and winding backwards through Andrew Cunanan’s serial killing spree.

Since FX moved under the Disney umbrella in 2019, it has sometimes been difficult to find its programming; I’m a professional and I’m often stymied when it comes to which FX shows actually air on FX and which are Hulu exclusives. But FX shows have still felt like FX shows.
The new FX-produced drama Class of ’09 is a puzzlement. One of those Hulu-only offerings, Class of ’09 surely has the air and aura of an FX show, from its sturdy, cinematic production values to a cast topped by FX veterans Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta) and Kate Mara (A Teacher) to its creation by writer Tom Rob Smith (The Assassination of Gianni Versace). But what it feels like? Well, it feels like a broadcast TV show from a decade ago — specifically like ABC’s Quantico, a drama remembered largely by Priyanka Chopra Jonas devotees.

That classification is maybe the most chaotic of the main Emmys races this year — we’re long past the days of “The Queen’s Gambit” and “Mare of Easttown.” At the moment, according to our odds, “Monster,” “Black Bird,” “Beef,” “Fleishman Is in Trouble,” “White House Plumbers” and “Daisy Jones & the Six” make up the expected list of limited series nominees.

A timely drama that contemplates AI-era criminal justice, FX on Hulu’s “Class of ‘09” sounds like must-watch TV for admirers of futuristic realism. The subgenre, also referred to as lo-fi sci-fi, swaps hyper-mechanized cornucopias with the grounded, gradually evolved settings of “After Yang,” “Her” and “Ex Machina.”
Created by novelist Tom Rob Smith, who earned a name for himself at FX (and an Emmy nomination) writing “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace,” the show cuts between three timelines and explores an ethical realm similar to “Minority Report’s.” Emmy nominees Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara lead a cast that includes Sepideh Moafi (“Black Bird”), Jon Jon Briones (“Acs: The Assassination of Gianni Versace”), Rosalind Eleazar (“Slow Horses”), Jake McDorman (“Limitless”), Brian J. Smith (“Sense8”), Raúl Castillo (“Looking”) and Brooke Smith (“Grey’s Anatomy”).

A proper law enforcement show features high-octane scenes, a fast pace, and a few twists and turns here and there.
It becomes much more special if the characters stand out uniquely or develop a bond akin to a chosen family.
Class of '09 is a show set inside the FBI that follows a group of unique characters whose journey to the FBI is not typical. These characters had lived another life before joining the Bureau, which is supposed to make them different from others.
Sometimes, we talk about something taking off before it crashes and burns. But rarely do we talk about something igniting, failing to take off, and disintegrating at an excruciatingly slow pace.
Class of '09 is not breaking new ground, with some excellent FBI shows having been broadcast in the last ten years.
Based on the setting, it might be compared to Quantico, starring Priyanka Chopra. But...

As the WGA strike continues to unfold, one of the key issues at its center has to do with artificial intelligence. While AI may be a relatively new concern for many in Hollywood, it’s old hat to Tom Rob Smith and Joe Robert Cole, two of the executive producers behind FX’s upcoming drama “Class of ’09.” Though their new series examines the dangers of law enforcement relying too heavily on AI, Smith isn’t concerned that AI in its modern form will fully replace writers.
“I’m less worried than other people are right now on the story creation, but I could be just naive about that right now,” Smith, who previously served as an executive producer and writer for “The Assassination of Gianna Versace: American Crime Story,” told TheWrap.
“I asked AI to write lots of fairy tales for me, and I read them. They were not good,...

Plot: Spanning multiple decades and told across interweaving timelines, the series examines the nature of justice, humanity and the choices we make that ultimately define our lives and legacy.
Review: Legal thrillers and series about law enforcement are staples of the small screen and rarely get the chance to play with the conventions of the genre. The new limited series Class of ’09 tries to upend expectations by using now-familiar narrative devices like flashbacks and flash-forwards to give us a series set in three distinct eras. Following a group of FBI agents in 2009, 2023, and 2034, we can see how these individuals change and grow closer and apart over four decades. Class of ’09 also uses the divisive concept of artificial intelligence to tell a prescient story that is not quite as thrilling as it should be. Anchored by another standout performance from Brian Tyree Henry, Class of ’09 is intriguing but uneven.

In Black Bird, Apple TV’s dramatic take on the true crime memoir about a suspected serial killer Larry Hall, star Taron Egerton admits that his portrayal of FBI operative Jimmy Keene differs from the real-life person who helped authorities to find Hall’s victims.
The psychological thriller actually zeroes in on Jimmy’s evolution as a former high school football hero-turned-alleged drug dealer who’s sent to prison to elicit a confession from Hall. (Keene was cleared of all charges).
The six-parter from Dennis Lehane dropped on Apple last summer.
“Dennis’ angle on the show was to take a guy from A to B — A being a lack of self awareness in terms of having a moral code, an attitude toward to women, to B, [a person] who has discovered some humanity and some responsibility to everyone around him,” explained Edgerton on Sunday during Deadline’s Contenders TV event. “He does grow, but it costs him dearly.

FX has released the trailer for their upcoming limited series “Class of ‘09,” a suspense thriller about a class of FBI agents dealing with the rise of artificial intelligence within the U.S. government. The eight-episode show, starring Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara, will premiere May 10 on Hulu.
The trailer begins with an FBI class reciting an oath in unison, pledging their devotion to the pursuit of truth and knowledge, but an eerie tone develops as some begin to show concern over how the bureau is progressing.
Stakes rise as characters become engrossed in missions tinged with classic FBI tropes, including laser-filled rooms, swarms of agents advancing on a home, gun fights, erratic driving and rooms filled with countless monitors broadcasting the same image from screen to screen.

Exclusive: The L Word: Generation Q is no longer available on Showtime’s streaming service and the Showtime Anytime app. The removal comes on the heels of the series’ cancellation by the network after three seasons.
While the sequel has been removed, the groundbreaking original L Word series remains on the service. As Deadline reported exclusively last week, a reboot, The L Word: New York (working title), is in development at Showtime with the 2004 series’ creator Ilene Chaiken attached.
The removal of The L Word: Generation Q also follows the purge of a number of short-lived Showtime series from the streaming platform at the end of January as part of Showtime’s integration into Paramount+, which includes the linear network being renamed Paramount+ with Showtime later this year. As part of the changes, the company will “divert investment away from areas that are underperforming” and that accounts for “less than 10% of our views,...

Despite finding success in the comedy and drama TV categories, thanks to “Ted Lasso” and “The Morning Show,” respectively, Apple TV+ has yet to break into the limited series/TV movie races at the Golden Globes. Now, it might have finally booked its ticket with the miniseries “Black Bird,” which is expected to be admitted three times over, per our combined odds, for series, actor (Taron Egerton) and supporting actor (Paul Walter Hauser).
Based on James Keene and Hillel Levin‘s 2010 memoir “In with the Devil: A Fallen Hero, a Serial Killer, and a Dangerous Bargain for Redemption,” the six-part series follows Keene (Egerton), a one-time high school football star and decorated policeman’s son-turned-drug dealer, as he is sentenced to 10 years in a minimum security prison and presented with a unique choice: Either he enters a maximum security prison for the criminally insane, befriends suspected serial killer Larry Hall...
