REUNION - bbc mon7th &tue8th 9pm - TV PACE. NO SPOILERS

[Blondeshavemorefun]

A new revenge-thriller called Reunion is heading to the BBC, and it's about to be your new TV obsession.

on mon and Tue for two weeks 7&8 and 14&15

Led by Matthew Gurney alongside 2021 Strictly Come Dancing (https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/g19859372/strictly-come-dancing-line-up/) winner Rose Ayling-Ellis (https://www.cosmopolitan.com/uk/entertainment/a64231762/code-of-silence-release-date-itv/), and Bad Sisters star Anne-Marie Duff,

The four-part drama follows the journey of Daniel Brennan (Gurney), "a deaf man determined to right his wrongs while unravelling the truth behind the events that led him to prison".

A key feature of the series is its bilingual nature, incorporating both British Sign Language (BSL) and spoken English.

It was written by William Mager, a deaf writer from Sheffield.

Speaking of his character, Gurney said: "Reunion is an amazing storyline and is completely different from my previous work. My character Brennan is on a wildly different journey than that portrayed by normal deaf lives, this portrays a man who is hated within the deaf community."

He added: "It shows how deaf people react and act on screen in an honest and authentic way. We are different to hearing actors, we are so much more visual storytellers, it's not about relying on sound it’s about using your eyes and seeing what is going on in the story."

The synopsis says: "Reunion is an emotional thriller of revenge and redemption following the journey of Daniel Brennan, played by Matthew Gurney (Name Me Lawand, Theatre Ad Infinium), a deaf man determined to right his wrongs while unravelling the truth behind the events that led him to prison.

"Brennan embodies the struggle of a man caught between two worlds, unable to fully integrate into the hearing world and shunned by his closest friends and the wider deaf community following his heinous crime.

Amidst this isolation, Brennan's only meaningful relationship is with his estranged daughter Carly, played by Lara Peake (How to Have Sex, Rivals), who he has not had any contact with since his arrest over a decade ago."

Christine finally gets closer to the answers she seeks from Brennan - what did her husband bir want her to know

Probation make a discovery that reveals a lot about the conviction

You are so right about the personality coming across during signing.

What a beautiful and moving storyline. Fantastic actors too.

See said Stephen was dodgy. He was at the interview - why does he hate him so much and want him back inside

Just glad the parole bearded man thought something was suss and checked out the video

Episode three is excellent

Yes it is

so seems there was abuse by the school teacher

I'm now in a quandary - do I binge?. But I'm trying hard not to do that as much.

Will make a tea as distraction!

That after it had finished about the production was good as well .

@ohcrikeynotagain. Restraint my dear

tho I will poss watch e4 at 730 tom as at work Tom night

Recap e3

Really ‘enjoying’ this now (definitely the wrong word to describe this, but it’s all I could think of! 🤣) and the ‘behind the scenes’ afterwards was really interesting. Funnily enough, I read a description of this programme in an old magazine yesterday and it described the main character as ‘a deaf man wrongfully imprisoned for murder’ so I was very glad that I hadn’t read that before the first episode was shown! 🤣🤣

I’m such an idiot, we watched it to end of episode three, didn’t see any more on iPlayer and there was that production bit at the end, was really cross as had enjoyed it so much but thought it was a terrible ending !
excited to watch 4 now !

I always stop the playback at the credits, because I suspect that what follows is spoilers for the next ep. Well, it often is, but it seems not in this case. So one more ep to go, is it?

Same. I don’t want to see clips of next episode

so always stop it

Yes last one tomorrow

i had a dislike for Stephen, he must have got to know christine intentionally,
so glad the probation officer also felt a dislike for him

Yes he doesn’t like him for some reason. So why

knew my danger baddie instincts were right in e1

E4 last one tonight

Brennan promises Carly that he won’t leave her agaib abs finally gets to confront his past

Christine learns the truth about Stephen

It sounds like probation officer doesn't like Stephen because he used to work with him and he didn't like him then because he had dodgy practices it sounds like

I don't think he knew him before or worked with him; he said he reminded him of people he used to work with in the police.

Oh yeah could be that

Gosh, I can't wait until 9pm!

I prob won't see this until tomorrow.

i will watch at some point on iplayer, perhaps quite soon, so i can pause and make tea!

So now Christine knows Stephen is a bad bad man

That's why daughter is in debt. To pay for her mums grave 😢😢😢😢

And telling/signing her mum she had cancer

both her mum and dad were deaf - like his parents

And we appear to be watching football, rather than a drama. Definitely no drama in the football 5-1 to Arsenal.
