"Class" centers diverse leads with prominent focus on sexuality, race, and identity, sometimes overshadowing character growth and plot realism. The show appears to select character traits primarily to achieve representation rather than organic storytelling, giving certain characters an unrealistically progressive edge for a high-school environment.

Traditional values like family, religion, and masculinity are mostly sidelined or shown as sources of conflict, making them look out of place in the modern setting. Gender roles are subverted and typical cultural traditions are given little weight or meaningful exploration.

Dissenting perspectives are almost exclusively presented as outdated or villainous, with nearly all main characters sharing similar progressive attitudes. There’s little room for debate or alternative viewpoints, making the show feel more like an echo chamber than an exploration of genuine teenage issues.
