5) Who do you think the target audience for Class is? Is this a typical target audience for the science-fiction genre? Give reasons for your answer.
I think the target audience for this may be 16+. This is because it has more modern effects and it is solely based around teenagers, which means more teens would take interest in this show/series. As well as the steamy/romantic scenes (which isn't actually/really appropriate for anyone under the age of 15-16). Many Teens are fond of Romance and/or supernatural things/beings etc.
