Class of '09 (2023)
3/10
Ruined by flashbacks and forth
10 May 2023
Class of 09 could have been so good but what's with the flashbacks in shows these days? This one is even worse, it's more like time travels. We have to deal with past, present and future. Sometimes you don't even realize the period changed. I don't think we are wired to witness life like this. It gets exhausting. Why not start in the past, progress into the present and then into the future, instead of back and forth. So many people complain about flashbacks but new series are still full of them. Other than that the acting here is top notch. Kate Mara is always great and still looking 20 at 40. Brian Tyree is proving to be a worthy actor. There are some writing issues, like in the 2nd episode. Why let people get out of your site if you're gonna go through the trouble of trying to kill them. I know it's because they have to get away for the story to continue but that's the difficulty of writing things like this. You have to write fiction while allowing the audience to suspend their disbelief. If it was easy, I would do it myself. So many shows are being produced today with little talent available. Back in the day not all talented people made it but all who made it had talent. It was true for TV series but also music and other art forms. Today it's all about, who you know, how you present something or how shocking you can be. I digress. Class of 09 is not bad but could have been so great.
