this shows version of the Hellmouth.
Class main attraction is its cast.
The young actors are all very talented and have no trouble handling the shows heavier material.

WatchingClassis somewhat jarring because of how much it differs from the mothership.
And,Classdoesnt waste any time in establishing this fact.
The shows self-seriousness reaches its heights in the April-centric two-parter that briefly turns the series into a silly slog.
At one point April asks, Do you ever feel its so dark itll never be light again?
which is a question I actually found myself asking throughout the first season.
The series, however, saves its best episodes for last.
If anything, these final three episodes make a strong case for sticking with the show until the end.
Classpremieres April 15 at 10 p.m. on BBC America.
