As intriguing as Debris‘ central mystery is now, it could easily wear thin if the producers run out of ideas too quickly; I can’t really envision yet how this can be sustained across multiple seasons. But for now, at least, it’s a helluva fun ride. It’s rare for a network to hit us with something as smart and strange and ambitious as this. So let’s enjoy it while we can.
Taken as a whole, Debris may ultimately struggle to soar beyond its most familiar and predictable components. But, at least based on the pilot, its best qualities may make it better suited for this moment right now than you'd expect.

SEASON 1
I can certainly see those 'Fringe' influences and I like some of it. But it'll have to get better to keep me entertained. The MI6 lady is already annoying me on accent alone.
If there's a bigger story arc it might keep me hooked, but for now it's mostly separate episodes.
*edit. There is a bigger story arc, but apparently I totally forgot about it.

SEASON 1
Despite all the woo-woo, I'm rooting for Debris and hope it can keep its eye on the skies instead of the routine conspiratorial rabbit holes. [10 - 23 May 2021, p.8]
This latest attempt to create a mystery-fueled drama falls a bit flat.
We like Tucker and Steele’s chemistry and there’s potential for the stories of the week to strongly support the greater mystery as the season goes forward. But it could also collapse under its own weight. At this point, we’re just not sure which way it’ll go.
The premiere admirably drops viewers into the deep end, eschewing much of the typical set-up for what feels more like a third or fourth episode, but it also suffers a bit from superficial, manipulative writing, and an over-familiarity that could make it a tough sell.
The pilot was engaging and peaked the curiosity, but unless this is a one season show, I suspect it will drag and viewer interest will wane. However, I will follow the show into 4-5 episodes before I decide to continue watching.
