Classified

Wyatt Russell plays Ivan Harris, a smooth-talking guy detained at the mysterious Ravenholm Institute. The central questions: is Ivan really a trained killer, and is his imaginary friend Lark actually real? Monica Potter co-stars as Doctor Bell, the psychiatrist trying to figure him out, and Brent Jennings brings Lark to life with real personality. Spenser Cohen and Anna Halberg created the show, and they strike an interesting balance between comedy and genuine suspense. Russell brings a roguish charm to Ivan that keeps you guessing about whether to trust him. The institutional setting creates natural tension -- every conversation between Ivan and Doctor Bell becomes a chess match where neither player is being fully honest. Eight main episodes plus a bonus episode, running 30 to 45 minutes each, with a 4.7-star rating from over 770 reviews. The production quality and sound design are exactly what you expect from Qcode at this point -- professional, immersive, cinematic. The biggest criticism in reviews is that the show seems designed for multiple seasons but no second season has been announced. That pattern of leaving listeners hanging is unfortunately common across the Qcode catalog, but taken as a single season, Classified is a smart and entertaining listen.
