The result is that we’re playing catch up for most of the episode and can’t really get fully absorbed in the story because of all the constant questions that are swirling around.
The first episode of Class, which comes from creator and writer Patrick Ness, who produces the series along with Steven Moffat and Brian Minchin, was way too frenetic for my taste.
This simply wasn’t the best way to open the show, and I can see a lot of people tuning out and not bothering after watching that initial installment.
I’m all for non-stop action, but this episode just felt poorly planned, with my biggest complaint being that they bring us into the story a bit too late.
