Starring Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara, the excellent crime drama Class of ’09 is as if an investigative procedural was crossed with Black Mirror. Our review:
Whenever a series that centers around the FBI gets announced, you can’t help but think that you’re about to witness another entry into the wide array of police procedural shows that have been extremely popular throughout the years. Of course, there’s a reason why those shows are popular. The case-of-the-week format doesn’t demand that viewers commit to watching every single episode. It allows casual spectators to tune in every once in a while and have no trouble understanding what’s going on.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The first half of the season of Class of ’09 showcases familiar tropes from procedural shows, but then quickly uses its time dynamics to subvert them. That’s how we get presented with cases that only pay off years later, or are surprised by an investigation whose resolution unfolds in the blink of an eye — because the story is able to jump back and forth in time and resolve what would be a season-long arc in a matter of minutes.
All in all, it’s a great surprise to get halfway through Season 1 of Class of ’09 and realize that the series utilizes its three timelines to its full advantage, as opposed to just a narrative trick to make it more interesting. The “past” of the series is where we really get to know the main characters and what they’re made of, as well as discover some cool information about the history of the FBI.
