Without spoiling anything, I will let you know it gets progressively darker.
Highschool shows are always a weird thing to judge because the characters tend to be very stereotypical (especially in a period piece), but as anyone who has been in highschool can tell you, plenty of kids that age are happy to fit into a stereotype.

While the first episode has been up for a while online, the proper tv premiere is tonight, 10PM EST.
Based on a Rick Remender comic book (and based somewhat on his own experiences with teenage gang violence), Deadly Class is set in the 80s and is a bout a group of fairly diverse students at Kings Dominion, a secret prep school for assassins, many of whom come from criminal families and other violent backgrounds.
I've read much of the comic but find it, at times a bit too bleak. I imagine the show will be a bit lighter, as these things often are to be more palatable to mainstream audiences.
