Synopsis
Class of '09 (2023) is a crime drama starring Kate Mara and Brian Tyree Henry, ready to watch online on iFILM. A class of FBI recruits is followed across three separate eras — the past, the present and a near future.
In 2009 they're strangers meeting at Quantico. Years on, artificial intelligence has rewritten the job: a system predicts crime better than any agent can, and the question of who it really serves drives the old classmates apart. The show keeps cutting between timelines, showing the same people young, mid-career and aged. Mara plays Ashley Poet, Henry plays Tayo Michaels, a future Bureau director.
Tom Rob Smith, the novelist behind Child 44, built these eight episodes less as a procedural than as an argument about what happens to justice once an algorithm makes the calls. The limited series rests on its leads: Henry and Mara carry three ages of their characters on inflection more than makeup. The science fiction is quiet, closer to next year than to outer space. Stream every episode of Class of '09 online on iFILM.
