A Little Reunion

If you want a drama that takes its characters as seriously as its plot, A Little Reunion is available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Peacock Premium right now. Across 1 season, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. Its 8/10 TMDB score, built from 11 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch it for Huang Lei — one of the stronger performances out there right now. Start it on Amazon Prime Video whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason A Little Reunion keeps coming up in conversation. A Little Reunion trusts its audience to sit with discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly. This story focuses on China's notorious college entrance exam, the "gaokao." It follows three seniors in high school and their families as they navigate the ups and downs of their lives whilst preparing for this exam that they believe will determine the trajectory of the rest of their lives. Huang Lei and Hai Qing lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It first aired in 2019. The writing trusts the audience to sit with ambiguity rather than wrapping everything up in a tidy conclusion — it is the approach that separates good drama from great. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For anyone looking for storytelling that takes its characters seriously, A Little Reunion delivers. Bel-Air is the obvious comparison, but A Little Reunion earns its own place alongside it. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Huang Lei's work here is the kind that gets referenced in career retrospectives. It makes everything else feel thin by comparison.

A Little Reunion wrapped up in 2019, created by Wang Jun — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
