'Deadly Class' Season 1: It's the deadly 1980s that highlights Syfy's new teen thriller
Forget Poison Lab and the other black arts of homicide, the streets of 1980s America were enough a setting for 'Deadly Class' to be a deadly show
Sure, Poison Lab, Black Arts, and the Fundamentals of Psychopathy make King's Dominion a one of a kind high school, curated to train the future destroyers of America, but what makes the series 'Deadly Class' a deadly one, is the backdrop it is set in - a 1980s counterculture.
The 1980s have been referred to as the deadliest decade, and it's not just the 2016-2017's TV series I am quoting here. Crime in the United States, including in major cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Dallas, and Miami witnessed soaring homicide rates, increased drug trafficking and the street gangs that battled for a share of the market in the 1980s and early 1990s.
