Class "Detained" Review


Hello there DoctorWho fans and fans of #Class here we are with another episode of the show that i think people really love and here is my review of class episode 6 "Detained"


So the plot for this weeks episode is thrown into detention the gang find themselves trapped in a prison that forces them to confess their secrets. Will they escape before the alien power tears them apart forever? This episode to me was the cheap episode of the series in that it involved only one set and only a few members of the main cast and had very little to know CGI and in this case i thought that really helped the story it made the episode feel more like a character bonding episode and it helped that the pacing was really good.



As mentioned before this episode only features the main cast and even then Kathrine Kelly leaves the episode rather early on so it's just the teenagers in this one and all of them do a really good job it was really hard for me to pick out a particular performance that i really liked because there all really good.

The cheapness of the episode doesn't only extend to having one set it also extends to the villain this weeks villain isn't an actor in a costume it's a piece of rock that glows orange that's it but that is till a really cool idea because that rock forces the main cast to spill out truths about each other and so we get to see a different side to each character.


There is some CGI in the episode and to me it looks really good and some of the best CGI the show has given us so far. There is also a nice twist ending which i wont reveal here but lets just say it ties into next weeks episode and it looks like the main plot line will not get fully resolved until episode 8 which will be interesting.

Overall this was a really solid episode with a great performances but it does have a few forced lines in there which are mainly used to make the show feel more adult but they don't feel natural at all and there are times were Ram doesn't come of the best but this is still a great episode which i give an 8.5 out 10
