Please note I've not seen the original Spanish series. This very show "Class" tries to portray the inter as well as intra-class contrast of upper and lower strata of society through teenage characters: their lavish versus lacking lifestyles, their privileges and privations, their fortunes and failings, dreams they possess and desires that possess them, the decisions they make and repercussions they face. But the duration of the show is unnecessarily long and the story could be contained within fewer episodes. The most annoying thing is the gritatuous male homosexual scenes and references which are shown rampantly and repeatedly throughout the show.
