What is Deadly Class about?

Deadly Class is an American television series that is adapted from the comic book series of the same name, created by writer Rick Remender and artist Wes Craig. The show is set in the late 1980s and takes place primarily in San Francisco. It follows the story of Marcus Lopez Arguello, a disillusioned teenager with a troubled past, who is recruited into King's Dominion, an elite private school for assassins. In this clandestine institution, students are trained in various deadly arts with the goal of becoming successful killers. Marcus, along with a diverse group of fellow students, must navigate the treacherous world of King's Dominion, balancing the demands of both the rigorous academic curriculum and the deadly social hierarchy.
