'Class of '09': Kate Mara and Brian Tyree Henry Star in FX's Strained FBI Thriller

Class of '09, a new FX-produced drama available exclusively on Hulu, lacks the trademark edge and hook of FX shows. The series, created by Tom Rob Smith and starring Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara, follows FBI trainees in multiple timelines and explores the use of AI in law enforcement. While the use of AI is timely and specific, the split storylines become a cover for the sense that none of the three timelines are interesting enough to sustain interest. Henry and Mara make for compelling leads, but the show's world seems limitless and the only limitation is its inspiration.
