Where are you supposed to be in 20 years?

"In 1986 they were the best of friends. 20 years later, on the night of their high school reunion, one of them has been murdered.

This is the story of six friends told over 20 years.
Each chapter is a new year.
Each year brings us one step closer to the truth..."

...that's the way the relator introduces every episode of this exciting but unlucky series. Adding a totally-new concept to TV, Reunion, on air in Argentina since last November, shows us the evolution of three boys and three girls' lives throughout two decades, starting from their prom day in 1986, everything is just one season. Having the best of the relationships in those moments, at present five of them are considered suspects of the murder of the sixth member. The interesting is, with no doubt, the format which was chosen: each chapter develops a different year in those people's lives, involving from drama (past) to mystery situations (present).
Although most of the time the series is based on flashbacks about the past, there are also today scenes which show the rest of the characters being investigated and acting in a much more arrogant and skeptical way if you compare them with the ones you perceive in previous years.
Besides from the original idea, the sequence of events is totally trapping, specially the oportunity to see how a lies net is kept along the years and grows to hide the original true facts which could "dismantle" the whole group. So, you can see from love to deceiving relationships, the start of new projects to the ending of commitments, it's seen how the characters grow up and progress professionally, but from a totally-innovative perspective.


Unluckily for the "already-turned-into-fans" like me, in the USA FOX decided to take it off air because of not keeping the desired amount of audience in a little time, although it followed "The O.C." and could have taken advantage of all of those viewers. Just nine chapters were televised (till 1994) and it's not known how the serie will end because, according to its creators, it's still necessary to know lots of events and people who'd appear later and would influence in the mysterious murder. However, there's also the possibility that Warner Bros. takes it and finishes it, so new ideas started to appear around the Internet which could take the series back to the small screen, but it's very difficult though. Among them, you can sign -as thousands of viewers have already done- an online petition which could bring it back, or send a personal email to faces@thewb.com, writing a descriptive issue to ask Warner Bros. to take the series rights and finish it from its channel (although it's already watched on The Warner Channel in our country, not FOX). Obviously, I've already done both of them more than once :). It may not be totally effective but, by trying, there's a little possibility to be success and be able to know the true story destiny.


Those who already know the series and who must think it's interesting, should take a little time for both possibilites, and for those who haven't watched it yet, it's still worth knowing what it's all about.
