Reunion

Daniel Brennan is released after serving a ten year prison sentence for murdering his friend Ray. Brennan is keen to meet up with his daughter Carly and is desperate to find someone from his past.

A groundbreaking drama, my honest advice is to ignore the negative reviews, they simply do not relate to this incredible drama. The BBC isn't exactly at its best right now, but there's always a chance that it'll put out a classic series, Reunion is just that.

This deserves to be remembered for years to come, after a good first episode, it opens up in the most unexpected way, as soon as you get used to the formula, you'll be engrossed, I haven't seen anything as good as this for some time.

Mathew Gurney deserves an award for this, his performance quite simply, was breathtaking, in episodes three and four he actually had me in tears, unbelievable, I thought he was phenomenal.

The supporting cast are terrific, Peake, Duff, Marsan, Sims, the whole lot of them did a great job.

So good to be able to give a drama a perfect score.

10/10.

I have never left a review before but felt compelled to after the nonsense low ratings. I'm not a fan of drama. After seeing many shows talking about this before it aired I felt compelled to watch it for the idea of telling a story from a deft person who isn't just a deft person. It gives me anxiety with the camera shakes and the sound being muffles as you read the subtitles for the signing. It's brilliant. People complaining you can't connect with characters mostly due to having to read are the reason this show was done this way. They definitely proved a point and executed it well. Thanks to this my partner and I are signed up for BSL classes.

Seen all the best , from Breaking Bad through Adolescence etc , this is truly up there!!! Will open up a whole new world to so many who just don't realise what it's like to be deaf . The acting is excellent, the story painful for many to watch , but this sxxt exists in the world we live in . Bravo !!!

This is not one to miss , can't really understand the comments about bad ending or dreary plot etc . It's not about either , it's the subject matter and the way it is portrayed, it touches so many nerves and if you can watch it without feeling uncomfortable, upset and extremely guilty for being so ignorant, then you've got no soul .

Take away a slightly slow episode 2 and this would be 10/10 stars all the way.

I never expected such a series. I mean, it never crossed my mind that sign language would be frequently used in the dialogues. Then I realized how unfamiliar we are with the world of the deaf and how much we have excluded this world, and I felt deeply ashamed. I have great respect for the deaf, as I do for all people with disabilities, but this film made me understand that I had never developed any empathy, nor had I ever thought about what it's like to be deaf. The storyline is incredibly captivating. Matthew Gurney's acting is not just extraordinary; it's exceptional. Lara Peake also delivers an outstanding performance. It was one of the best performances I've ever seen. I watched every episode of the series without blinking. I was never bored and was in awe of the soundtrack that played at the end of each episode. Ms. Helen Ostler, you have created a truly remarkable series. Thank you!

First up, l couldn't stop watching after viewing the 1st episode. So l binge watched every episode in 5hrs on iview ABC. Brilliant viewing in every aspect. The one down side was: l found the speed in which the actors sign languaged to each other or themselves was too quick for me to finish reading the subtitles. And l watch everything with subtitles and are good at reading subtitles cos of my poor hearing. So for me there was a fair bit of rewinding to read it again. It could've been from watching closely the acting & (scenery) and not both at same time. Beautiful scenery and actor quality amazing. Other than that l absolutely 💯 loved everything about it. It opened my eyes to a world l'd never given much thought too, sorry. Thank you for the quality program and l truly hope there's a 2nd season please 🙏 👏😍🇦🇺
