I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

So, Fox pulled the plug midway through a drama/mystery...How lame is that? Do they expect us to invest our time in their new shows when there is a realistic risk of never finding out what happens? Why weren't the remaining, already filmed episodes aired in the US? They were broadcast elsewhere.Hey, Fox! Are you listening? This was a great show, but you left us hanging. If you're going to introduce new drama/mysteries, at least air a conclusion before abruptly ending mid-theme. Every time something like this happens (and it seems to happen a lot with you - i.e., Fox), there are more of those who will "wait and see" before investing their time. This means you will see an artificially low interest share, and are more likely to end the series. See? It is a vicious cycle. Don't let us down again...

I really enjoy this show. It is MUCH better than the OC this season, and now I no longer watch the OC and have switched to Reunion. I find the characters to be enjoyable and intriguing. The plot continues to grow with each week and I like how they reveal more and more about what is going on in the present as well. My fiancé and I like to predict what happened to each character based on what we know about them in the present day. The screen writers tie up all loose ends at the end of each episode and leave us wanting more. The dialogue is not as cheesy as shows like the OC and the characters have more depth. I also am a big fan of Will: so HOT! and think Samantha is a total idiot for not choosing him. Can't wait to find out what happens... Although I'm unsure of how they would do a 2nd season if each episode is a new year.

I'm usually not too into a specific show (save for The O.C. & Desperate Housewives...hey, I am 20!), but, no kidding, after one episode of Reunion I was hooked.I can't even say how bummed I was that it's time-slot conflicted with Bush's speech last night because I was really looking forward to the 1987 episode, which will now air next Thursday. Again, that conflict was disadvantageous because, being a new show, it needs to build up a following and having the second episode pushed back a week kills some momentum.That said, TV doesn't always have to be Emmy worthy to be enjoyable. I don't expect Reunion to take home any prizes, but I do expect it will be able to capture my attention all season. Ever watch the first few episodes of a beloved show years later? Sometimes you wonder how you ever got hooked. Character building takes some time.The one episode for each year idea is wonderful, in my opinion. The only other show I can recall doing something similar is 24, with each episode being an hour...and having an eventful year is more realistic than a day that eventful! Please give this show a shot. Relax about art form...it's just TV!

From my TV Web site: Certainly the cardinal rule of season-long mystery arcs is to make us care about the results. "Veronica Mars", for instance, does it brilliantly, but in this dumb soap, I don't much care about which character is dead or who killed him/her. I'm only slightly more interested in how the relationships will develop. The plot device is clever (it's similar to the much better '80s book and mini-series "Celebrity"); each episode deals with a year in the lives of six high school chums between graduation in 1986 and now, when a murder investigation is unfolding. But when one episode covers a year, a lot of presumably important and interesting things get left out, plus just about everything that does happen is the stuff of already overplayed plots in other soaps, sitcoms and teen flicks. With so many choices on TV these days, there'd better be some twists, but they're not to be found here.
