'Deadly Class' Season 1 review: Syfy's show has all the ingredients to soar, but viewers aren't flocking

UPDATED FEB 13, 2019

Syfy's 'Deadly Class,' has all the required ingredients to make a good TV show. As gory as 'Game of Thrones,' as depressing as '13 Reasons Why,' and as high school oriented as the 'Mean Girls,' with King's Dominion bringing feels of Harry Potter's 'Hogwarts,' is a stellar cast, including 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' alum Lana Condor, and, also, the music is superb, an admirable mix of alt-rock, punk and new wave tunes, incurring massive 1980s nostalgia.
