Watch Reunion: Synopsis
Not the first show to explore other languages in the UK, Reunion follows a trend of new shows coming out of the BBC. Gaelic-language crime drama The Island (An T-Eilean) aired earlier this year, with Welsh thriller The One That Got Away following swiftly after back in February. Now, though, the BBC tackles something altogether more fresh and inclusive, offering the perspective of a deaf man isolated by both his choices, but also his disability. Read on for how to watch Reunion online and for free from anywhere, with all episodes now available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
Daniel Brennan (Matthew Gurney) has just got out of prison after serving ten years for murder. Exploring the experience of a deaf man in prison, Reunion is also equal parts an exploration into being unable to assimilate into neither the hearing world nor the deaf community, and his possible road to redemption following his crimes – should he choose to take it. The key appears to be a reconciliation with his estranged daughter, Carly, portrayed by Lara Peake.
Also starring Anne-Marie Duff (Bad Sisters), Eddie Marsan, and Rose Ayling-Ellis, the show incorporates a mix of spoken English and British Sign Language. Talking about his choice to include both, creator and executive producer of Reunion, William Mager, said, "One thing I wanted to achieve with Reunion was to show that sign language is not just one thing. Sign language can be used in different ways. Some people sign and speak at the same time, and some use sign language solely. Others will use SSC (Scottish Sensory Centre) and add in elements of gesture. I wanted to show the variety of communication methods that deaf and hard-of-hearing people use."
Available now as a four-part boxset on BBC iPlayer, here's how to watch Reunion online from anywhere.
