Summary
- A homeless teen joins a school for children of criminals.
- The show is lauded for its cinematography and writing.
- Fans praise its thrilling, gory, and funny nature.

Netflix has added the action drama 'Deadly Class' to its streaming library, a series lauded as 'the most cinematic TV show ever made.' Originally premiering on Syfy in 2019, the show is based on a graphic novel and is set in 1980s San Francisco. It chronicles the journey of a homeless teenager who is recruited into an elite private school for students hailing from notorious crime families, where they learn to master 'deadly arts.'
The series, created by Rick Remender and Miles Orion Feldsott, garnered significant praise from viewers and critics alike for its high-quality writing, cinematography, and casting. Despite receiving a strong IMDb rating of 7.5 out of 10 and earning enthusiastic reviews online for its unique blend of humor, gore, and action, 'Deadly Class' was unfortunately cancelled by Syfy in June 2019 after just one season.
Fans have expressed considerable disappointment over the show's cancellation, with many advocating for its revival and hoping for a second season. They commend the series for its mature themes, rock-n-roll roots, and compelling characters, particularly Lana Condor's portrayal of Saya. The show's addition to Netflix now provides a new platform for audiences to discover this critically acclaimed, yet short-lived, television series.
