	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Adrian Horton The Guardian	"'Class of '09' has ambition but, like many a starry-eyed freshman, spreads itself too thin (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Nick Schager The Daily Beast	"It’s a fantasy that feels like it’s sprung from today’s headlines, and its AI-centric material serves as an apt contextual framework for a story that’s about the eternal quest to know oneself, others, and the world"	POS
United States	Chase Hutchinson Collider	"Brian Tyree Henry & Kate Mara Elevate FX’s scattered crime thriller about artificial intelligence (...) It plays like a riff on Steven Spielberg‘s 'Minority Report,' though without the same directorial vision and narrative heft"	NEU
United States	Saloni Gajjar AV Club	"'Class Of '09' crumbles under its weighty issues. Narratives about the FBI or AI aren't new, but this one doesn't reinvent the wheel or offer a unique testament"	NEG
Canada	Alex Maidy JoBlo	"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."	NEU
United States	Keith Phipps TV Guide	"It's a smart and timely series"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Henry and Mara make for compelling leads (...) but halfway through an eight-episode journey, the show’s world seems limitless and the only limitation is its inspiration"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Please. Stop it with the multiple timelines. Of late, TV has a tendency to overindulge the structural device, but 'Class of ’09' has enough on its plate already to bother with silly gimmicks"	NEG
United States	Chase Hutchinson The Playlist	"Brian Tyree Henry & Kate Mara elevate FX’s scattered crime thriller about artificial intelligence"	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Thanks in large part to that outstanding cast and the cinematic production values, 'Class of ’09' could graduate into something memorable (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Alison Herman Variety	"[It] poses questions about the competing risks of human error and technological overreach. But even if the specific application is relatively new, questions of freedom versus security are as old as the idea of an armed state"	NEU
United States	Alan Sepinwall Rolling Stone	"Brian Tyree Henry deserves more than This AI-themed misfire"	NEG
United States	Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"'Class of '09' has some big and undeniably relevant ideas, but it's seemingly more interested in them than its characters (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"[It] boasts one of the year's most intriguing premises and casts so far"	POS
United States	John Anderson The Wall Street Journal	"The personal lives of the characters can grow emotionally moribund. But the action sequences are grippingly violent and intelligently so"	NEU
United States	Joel Keller Decider	"'Class Of '09' is too busy jumping between timelines to tell a cohesive story that has any kind of momentum"	NEG
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"There's so much going on, most of it is underdeveloped and even shallow at times. There are worthy performances in the mix, but the actors are working with scattered material"	NEU
Denmark	Karina Adelgaard Heaven of Horror	"Personally, I was completely hooked from episode 1 (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Shane Ryan Paste Magazine	"With [the actors], it's a solid eight-episode miniseries"	POS
