"Reunion" chronicles the lives of a group of six friends over the course of 20 years -- all in just one season. Will longs to leave his small town behind; aided by an athletic scholarship, he will be the first in his family to go to college. Craig, handsome and privileged, looks forward to the Ivy League with his girlfriend, Samantha, whose ambition is surpassed only by her looks and intelligence. The beautiful Jenna dreams of becoming an actress; behind his cynicism, Aaron dreams that his relationship with Jenna will go beyond friendship. Carla, innocent and quirky, must choose between loyalty to her father and staying near her best friends. "Reunion" opens in 2005 at the funeral of one of the friends, whose death is being investigated by Detective Marjorino. But before the identity of the deceased is revealed, we're transported back to 1986, as the group is celebrating its high-school graduation. Each subsequent episode chronicles the next year in the clique's lives.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Reunion has a killer hook for a soapy mystery but forgets to populate its ensemble with engrossing characters -- resulting in a series of compounding twists happening to people viewers don't care about.

Belinda Acosta Austin Chronicle I'm left cold by the uniformly weak performances - except for Amanda Righetti (The OC's recurring Hailey), who manages to bring life to Reunion's otherwise bland dialogue. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Brian Lowry Variety So despite being well promoted and smartly scheduled behind "The OC," hold the party streamers, because the show seems considerably less than the sum of its premise and ad campaign. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post The ill-fated actors go through their motions in a way that suggests hamsters spinning in a wheel or rats navigating a maze. They are trapped by, virtually enslaved by, the show's gimmicky gimmick. Apr 27, 2019 Full Review Roger Catlin Hartford Courant It's tough to tell from a cheese-filled pilot -- though one with a nifty crash scene -- whether this will have enough traction to take us through the '90s, year by year, until the mystery is solved. Oct 7, 2019 Full Review Rob Owen Pittsburgh Post-Gazette The problem with "Reunion" is that beyond the show's gimmick, there's not much to draw viewers in. The characters lack depth and personality and the situations are -- yawn -- overly familiar. Apr 27, 2019 Full Review People Staff People Magazine The show could be compelling, especially if the cast pulls off two decades' worth of aging. Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews
