Class of 09: Part of Something - Season 1 Episode 1 - RECAP INTRODUCTION - www.skiptvads.blog

Class of 09 is the story of four main characters, all come from different backgrounds from a nurse, a lawyer, an insurance broker who enter the FBI as part of a new program that look to integrate more people outside of law enforcement, people who can become agents with different perspectives as they understand that some times only having a cop formation is not enough. This is the FBI trainee class of 2009, where their main characters latter on become important assets to the FBI, from the FBI Director Tayo Michaels and one of the best ever under cover agent Ashley Poet just to mention two of them, I like the story so far since its not about a single character or two, I’m sure there will be many story lines as all this main four characters develop during times where the FBI evolves drastically to a point that this TV Series plot really takes from movies like Minority Report, based on Artificial Intelligence systems the FBI tries to evaluate, judge and even predict when someone becomes a danger to society and the institution but looks like it gets too drastic to the point where it is not fair to judge people based on their thoughts or at least that’s what the main “criminal”, named Amos, of this episode things as he is currently the most wanted man by the FBI and comes to Poet house and tells her this, the FBI is judging agents based on their thoughts and its getting out of control, it was suppose to be a fair system and be a tool for agents to locate and arrest people who have committed a crime but now they been arrested for their thoughts, a system becoming so complex and its hard for agents to understand anymore although Tayo has been on the FBI Director chair for ten years making the country one of the safest and greatest nations on earth mainly because of the criminal decline across the nation because of the system he has implemented along this time, Tayo thinks different than what Amos tries to explain Poet.

I think Class of 09 tries to capitalize on this AI trend, in the past it was a very futuristic topic but not anymore now days my wife, my sister, colleagues at work who are not tech savvy talk about AI, its everywhere but production I think in the past had a hard time to take this concept to the screen, even minority report felt very fake, very unreal, more like Sci-Fi but with recent development that have become public like the integration of AI in Windows 11, will take AI assistance to many more people, viewers will get more related to it and we will start to see more and more artificial intelligence related topics on tv series, it wont be just a Tony Stark thing anymore and Class of 09 is an example, I really like it from the production stand, the series doesn’t look cheap, actors felt ok on the first episode nothing that made me think this is a cheap production and its not the Law & Order type of cops tv series that work on different cases every day, there is a very long story on how each of this four characters get to their different positions from when they started on 2009 to 2034 where we see Tayo as director and all this futuristic scenery but its not that futuristic for us anymore, Electric Cars got them, cyborg prosthesis type got them, artificial intelligence got them so its not that futuristic anymore.

Class of 09 is a tv series that will get more traction as seasons go by, so far the problem I see is that there are too many flash backs, this is not a series for the type of audience who seek a straight story line, this is the type of tv series for the one who pause, rewind and plays back meaning for the audience that like to put the pieces together and end up amaze once everything is understood so I get why some bad reviews on IMDB and most are talking about the same issue with the time line, there are time jumps from 2009, 2023, 2034 multiple times and this is just the first episode so you have to watch close, so far a 6.3/10 over all on IMDB but episodes have stronger rates like 7 and above, I personally give it a 8/10 on the first episode as I find it interesting and I like this type of format.

On this series what worries me is the tech side as for some reason cops tv series most of the time don’t get it right, scenes like the two above, either they exaggerate them and make them look stupid like a screen with a bunch of extended ping, hardware monitoring stats and I think if the pull something like Tony Stark stuff is even better at least they made the effort to make it look original, so far I haven’t find any scene that makes me feel this way.

Ashley Poet, who starts as a nurse working at a mental health facility who never thought about joining the FBI until she was approach by an agent who ask her to talk to one of the patients at the facility about his brother a murder suspect and after she was able to pull it off then gets invited to join the FBI, in part of they story it is mention how she have put her career at the FBI above anything else in life even her last two relationships one been Lennix one of her initial partners at the 2009 FBI trainee class, this determination along with her creativity get her to pull one of the largest cop bust.

This is captain Albury who is just about to let Poet get into the circle, he runs one of the most corrupt police department, they even got the FBI infiltrated and killed an FBI agent in front of Poet and she didn’t flinch the reason why is because probably she didn’t know about him, there are certain things on the tv series that are not explain straight up so as I mention you probably need to go back and forward but if she is infiltrated as a cop and her partner at the moment kill a guy and plant a gun on the guy then she gets to Albury and he tells her they killed that FBI agent and she asks if they send her there on purpose then its clear they talking about the same guy but the picture on the file is not clear, they didn’t say any names and this actions happen between time jumps on the series so that might confuse viewers.

This is present time 2023, Poet just arrested Albury in front of every one and that’s consider basically suicide asking for retaliation but it was a direct order by Lennix and old friend, classmate and ex boyfriend who is now the Associate Executive Assistant Director of the FBI, what a long name for a charge, he had the tough order to put Poet under that situation but it was necessary for her next job and her next assignment seems to be more dangerous since it will be to investigate someone or an entire division of the FBI.

Poet next assignment in present time is an old friend and classmate, Hour Nazari, it seems back in the day when they were trainees Tayo had a crush on her but been how quite and shy he is for some things it probably never got them anywhere at least that’s my impression from this conversation they had if they were dating anyone at the moment. Poet had to find out the hard way and read between lines that Hour was her next mission when they got together for dinner and she was surprised that Hour was ask if Poet would be of any use in her division a project that works on the largest criminal database, she is pissed at Lennix because now she have to spy on her best friend and colleague too.

As mention the series jump between time lines a lot for one episode, they go from present 2023 where Poet is giving the task to spy on Hour, put that on hold to the future 2034 where Amos a wanted man, probably a whistleblower who tries to bring the truth of what the FBI has become with all this new AI systems that basically try to predict who can commit a crime are way out of line, on the scene above Tayo looking at the scene where Amos is at Poet apartment and gets shoot by agents, Amos left Poet what looks like a card but not sure if its an access card or data.

Class of 09: Part of Something - Season 1 Episode 1 - CONCLUSION - www.skiptvads.blog

I think its not necessary to mention that I really like this tv series, there are others that I want to watch but I’m behind on the ones I was writing about and don’t want to leave them hanging, I do this for fun so finish the seasons is important for me if not there is no fun but I’m going to start to include a few new tv series now that I’m catching up, this first episode was all about Poet but I think we are going to have multiple stories here because the four main character have top charges inside the FBI, they are not just a bunch of agents besides they all know each other very well, I like how the series is trying to integrate tech as much as its possible since we are finally living during the times when AI has become public and commercial.
