hooked on: the reunion

okay, i am officially done with my catching up of this tv season premieres.

i am so hooked one. it's called 'the reunion' and it airs on fox. the network has aired only 3 episodes because of the championship of the baseball season (go angels! hahaha.) the show will return in november.

anyway, the premise is good. the show is about a group of six friends (like Friends). it traces their lives from the moment they graduated from high school in 1986. that was the first episode. every succeeding episodes will focus on the highlights that happened during a particular year. hence, episode 2 is 1987, episode 3 is 1988 and so on.

and the twist. one of the six friends is dead and one of the remaining five pulled the trigger. of course, they have not revealed who's dead but they (after 3 episodes) have focused on 2 of the friends, who are now suspects in the murder.

one thing great about this show is the music. the soundtrack is so cool. (80s music rules!) i hope they release these songs in one album.

okay, folks, meet the friends.

from left: samantha (alexa davalos), craig (sean faris), will (will estes), aaron (david annable), carla (chyler leigh) and jenna (amanda righetti).

the dynamics: let's divide the group of friends into two - samantha-craig-will and aaron-carla-jenna.

samantha and craig are a couple. craig and will are best friends. samantha and craig break up (told in a back story) for about a weekend. samantha and will hook up. samantha gets pregnant. whoa. f*cking friends.

the next half. carla is madly in love with aaron but he doesn't know it because he has his mind set on getting jenna. jenna, the ambition one, doesn't want to be with the "funny friend." mahal kita, mahal mo siya, mahal niya ay iba. so pinoy!

the season started with the friends having fun, since all of them are graduating from high school. at the grad party, craig had one drink too many and he asks will to go with him for a beer run. while driving, they meet an accident. craig, the rich boy suddenly feels his future crumbling. will, the sober one, decides to "save" his friend by telling investigators that he was the one driving.

complications arise when the driver of the car they hit dies. the simple accident became manslaughter. will was sentenced to 12 months in prison because of this.

3 episodes down. 17 to go. did i say i was hooked?
