Class (2016)

Though I watched the under-performing Doctor Who spin-off Class back when it aired (and reviewed each episode at http://siskoid.blogspot.com/search/label/Class ), I only rewatched it on DVD last week. I remember how at first I wasn't all that keen on the odd blend of Sarah Jane Adventures and Torchwood, but within a few episodes, it won me over. I was in fact pretty bummer the series didn't continue, especially given the cliffhangers in the last episode. In rewatching it already sold on the characters, I could better appreciate those early episodes, though there's still something jarring about the Capaldi Doctor's appearance in the first one (though I find it a necessary chapter in his story if only for a tiny bit at the end where his relationship to Coal Hill comes into focus). The DVD set includes talking head behind the scenes featurette material, as well as a large array of deleted scenes. Now I can only wait for Big Finish to get showrunner Patrick Ness to greenlight or script an ending to his story, as all the current audio plays take place within season 1. 4 years 11 months ago
