Can justice prevail in an ever-changing world? The new limited series “Class of ‘09” from FX explores the ramifications of Artificial Intelligence, aka, A.I., through the lives of several FBI agents. Their stories intertwine as every choice comes with intense consequences. This original drama hails from creator Tom Rob Smith; the writer saw his debut novel, “Child 44,” adapted in 2015 by director Daniel Espinosa and producer Ridley Scott. Since then, he’s created several projects — notable among them the BBC Two series “MotherFatherSon.”
