The BBC’s latest show, Reunion, has all the elements of a really good thriller. There’s a troubled protagonist: Daniel Brennan (Matthew Gurney), who has spent time in prison for murder. There’s a shadowy crime. And, even more intriguingly, it’s bilingual: in both English and British Sign Language.
It feels like a first for the BBC, and in it, Lara Peake plays Carly, Daniel’s estranged daughter. She has a massive chip on her shoulder and owes a lot of people money.
