Deadly
Class 2/10
I saw
an ad for this new series coming out called Deadly Class on SyFy. The
first episode is available on Youtube so I figured I'd give it a
shot. Didn't like it. I'll try and explain what the show seems to be
about. A bunch of students are recruited to kill. I think. I am
trying not to mix up what I saw and what I read it is supposed to be
about from descriptions of the comic book it is based off of. This
kid named Marcus Lopez Arguello who doesn't appear to be any of those
names if you're picking up what I'm putting down lives in the
streets. This show felt like I was watching a TV show version of
Wanted and I hated that damned movie.
One
night after being robbed by a homeless dude he accidentally smokes
some angel dust and is chased by police and rescued and then
kidnapped by this school for psychopaths. Kids are told to hurt one
another, the staff hurts them, they are assigned to murder folks, and
this one Black student is so over the top it made me laugh. I was
like “This is not Training Day and you are not Denzel.” I'm sure
as this show progresses that everyone will not act like exactly what
they are. But I won't be around to see. They crammed so much
information into this episode and I didn't have anyone that I wanted
to cheer for. I need that shit when I am watching a movie or TV show.
Don't just show me a bunch of people that are too cool for school
because if you don't seem to give a damn then why should I?
