ardnael This show is completely different. It's sci fi teenage horror ish all in one. It's bloodier and has sex scenes inappropriate for children. It is, however, entertaining if you go into it thinking of it has an alien sci fi series. I think it's quite creative in its invasion ideas. The writing, yeah it's teenage based thinking. I enjoyed it for what it was.

Richard Stretton The first thing of note, is just how poorly written the dialogue is in this slick looking, but clumsily delivered sci-fi. I found my psyche being tormented between whether this is intended as a giant spoof comedy, or an edgy young piece of science fiction. I fear it is trying to be the latter, but ends up as the former.If you've lost that spoon you were looking for that you were going to scoop your eyeballs out with, this might be a valid replacement. I want so badly to enjoy it, as the premise of the show would seem worthy of watching - however, it is a cringe- fest from start to end. I had to google a bio on Patrick Ness before I slaughtered him here. I was praying he was a 13-year old and that I could actually applaud the effort... but sadly, he's not... he's just a terrible writer who fails to connect with his audience on every level.Characters have no substance. Plot is just okay. Subplots are non-existent. Clunky show overall.Visual effects are typically British, and that's something the fans of this genre can somewhat take relief in... but that relief is short lived as soon as these actors open their mouths. I don't blame them - they can't add gravitas to words that appear to be written by Donald Trump.Watch 5 minutes of it - you'll wish you hadn't, but at least you'll know the truth.

jaworski Story and concept actually seem good, but the acting is actually painful to watch. Out of the 6 main characters I would say that 2 qualify as legitimate "bad actors" and 2 others are "meh" at best. Were they in a rush when they cast this? Maybe producers relatives? I hope that someone sent a few of these folks for some acting lessons as filming started so that one can stomach what they do on set. Usually it takes a few episodes for the actors to get the real feel of the characters down. It usually doesn't take a few episodes for the actors to figure out how to deliver a line or how to basic emote. It's painful right now.

c-61786 A few episodes in and I was loving the characters in this Class.It's Buffy crossed with Doctor Who, feels like what Torchwood should have been.. As in the characters are complex, diverse (yay for all the sickass representation), interesting and the overarching story line is consistent with tons of character development. Even with only 8 episodes in season 1 (at all atm! D=) it moves at a faster pace than Doctor Who.Once in the thick of it Class doesn't even have the ol' Doctor Who "hit 'n' miss" episodes! (c'mon whovians admit they exist) It's great. Watch it. Also make more please!
