'Class of '09': A Disappointing AI-Themed Drama Despite Star-Studded Cast.

"Class of '09," a new FX drama streaming exclusively on Hulu, features a fractured timeline and explores questions about the perils of technology. Despite featuring FX alums and on-brand elements, the show feels oddly generic and lacks the usual FX flair. While there are some solid performances and pertinent questions about AI, the show comes in as pretty good rather than great. The primary motivation for continuing to watch is the desire to see more of stars Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara.

"Class of '09": A Promising Thriller with Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara Struggles to Transcend FBI Drama Tropes and AI Dilemmas.

"Class of '09" is a promising thriller series on FX on Hulu, starring Brian Tyree Henry and Kate Mara, that takes place across three distinct timelines. The show explores the theme of how much we should sacrifice for privacy and due process in modern crime-fighting techniques.

'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.

"Brian Tyree Henry shines in lackluster 'Class of '09' FBI drama"

Class of '09, a new limited series on FX, follows a group of FBI Academy graduates on divergent paths into a dystopian-ish future.
