Netflix's 'Class': A Glimpse into India's Elite Adapted from the Spanish series 'Elite', 'Class' offers a compelling crime thriller set within the opulent walls of Hampton International, a fictional Delhi high school. The series, produced by Bodhi Tree Multimedia and Future East Film, centers on the interwoven lives of three working-class students navigating the complexities of their affluent peers. The eight-episode first season, released on February 3, 2023, delves into pertinent social issues plaguing modern Indian youth. Casteism, child neglect, corruption, homophobia, religious discrimination, and stark income inequality are explored through the lens of these students' relationships and experiences. The show's nuanced portrayal of these issues has resonated with audiences, leading to a swift renewal for a second season, confirmed by Netflix on March 6, 2023. The series' critical acclaim is evidenced by its five nominations at the 2023 Filmfare OTT Awards, notably including a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination for Ashim Ahluwalia's adaptation. 'Class' successfully blends the high-stakes drama of its source material with a distinctly Indian context, offering a thought-provoking and engaging narrative.
