La reunion

Almost didn't watch this due to the low ratings. Really enjoyed this series, though sometimes over complicated. Just when you think you know what is going on, it takes a different turn, keeping you perplexed and confused, though that might just be me who always struggle to keep up (at least according to my wife). Loved the twists and turns throughout, which kept me wanting to watch the series. On the negative side some of the acting was a little unbelievable and it could have been 2 episodes shorter, to give it a bit more pace. It is definitely worth a watch, and then you can make your own decision.

Scenery and actors should have been a formula for success, unfortunately it didn't gel. From the disjointed beginning this looked like an bad mix--maybe they changed the script and directors every 20 minutes as a "new wave" in episodic drama. It felt like an editor came in with scissors and clipped all the good parts out.

The jumpy narrative only became more complicated as the story unfolded. I wish they'd have had a narrator dubbed in order to make sense of the action.

If you choose to waste your time here, try turning off the sound and guess the timeline of the action--it will be the only way you can justify your hours.

This could have been so much better! The first big mistake was to have Rupert Graves play Ioan Gruffudd dad especially as there is only 10 years between them both. Rupert is a great actor but you cannot make the father/son gap work without some serious makeup to make the gap would better. The other this is that as someone with dyslexia there are far too many subtitles and the speed is a bit fast so you cannot keep up with what is going on. Also the third point is that the stories didn't also seem to flow smoothly so you felt you bounce a long and jumps with some weird story plots that don't seem to fit or feel relieved to the over all story.

I was confused from the beginning. Too many time changes with too many characters before we had chance to work out who was who never mind who was the present day character and their younger self. There were name changes too which confused me even more. And don't get me started on the subtitles. Trying to read the subtitles whilst trying to work out whom is whom. The lovely scenery doesn't make up for the story being too complicated to follow. I'm so confused, were there two crimes or just one! I have no idea and to be honest, I don't care. Waste of time watching it when I was looking forward to my favourite type of mystery.

This really is pure pap despite the very good cast and the absolute beautiful location. The plot is so convoluted and contrived that half-way through the viewer basically gives up caring who killed who and why and replaces it with will I survive for six episodes. I did but I have no idea why other than to upset the wife who wanted to switch it off after two. As for Ioan Gruffudd, who plays the lead,, he basically plays exactly the same annoying character that he does in the Australian drama Harrow where he spends most of the time as a voice-over describing the plot twists to the dozing audience. Do yourself a favour and give this a miss!
