	Author	Review
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"Unquestionably flashy, unquestionably stylish, unquestionably audacious (...) it is also glib and nihilistic and derivative"	NEU
United States	Caroline Framke Variety	"Even if 'Deadly Class' talks a tough talk about being different and darker than those other high school shows, watching it walk the walk often proves more frustrating than fascinating."	NEG
United States	Robert Lloyd Los Angeles Times	"'Deadly Class' doesn't make much sustained sense, either as practical reality or pointed satire (...) But it has rude energy (and many bad words) and a certain conviction"	NEU
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"Messy with its morals and empty beyond its shock value (...) 'Deadly Class' gives little motivation to watch by making onlookers experience the unpleasantness all over again."	NEG
United States	Allison Keene Collider	"The soundtrack is killer, and the actors are all very charming. But there are so many times when the more cartoonish aspects of the series (...) feel like they make more sense on the page than onscreen (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Michael Ahr Den of Geek	"[An] appealing 'secret school' drama that comics readers, aging 80s nerds, and millennials will all enjoy (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Siddhant Adlakha IGN	"Wadsworth performs admirably, but the material he’s working with feels fraught (...) 'Deadly Class' struggles to establish an identity; it's all style and little substance."	NEU
Canada	Kevin Yeoman Screen Rant	"In all, 'Deadly Class' serves up a fascinatingly dark new series that has a compelling enough plot and exciting enough cast to make it worth continuing to tune in for."	POS
