Though it doesn't break the mold when it comes to teen genre series, Class is nevertheless a worthy companion to the Who universe. And there's nothing Doctor Who loves more than a good companion.

What it lacks in monsters though, Class makes up for in good intentions. That's not intended as damning with faint praise. Representation matters and Class is doing a proper job of reflecting 2016 in a way that far too many shows still don't.

For better or worse, Class feels hip in a way that no other corner of the Doctor Who universe ever really has.

As Doctor Who spinoffs go, Class may not have established itself quite as indelibly as Torchwood did in the Whoniverse, but give it, well, time.
