I will review some recent progress on D=4, N=2 superconformal field theories in what has come to be known as "Class-S". This is a huge class of (mostly non-Lagrangian) SCFTs, whose properties are encoded in the data of a punctured Riemann surface and a collection (one per puncture) of nilpotent orbits in an ADE Lie algebra.
