Debris

Ignore the haters, most pilot shows tend to start off a bit rocky but this show throws you straight into the storyline, sets up a very intriguing premise and I can't wait to see more! A binge of all episodes would have been great but I'm more than happy to wait another week 😄

Fringe meets X-Files. A perfect combination.

I like this show, which means it probably won't last. I like the X-Files type vibe.

This show seems to have received some pretty low star ratings on here, and I'm really not sure why. Perhaps in this age of social media and smart phones, people just haven't got the patience to wait for the story to evolve, and if it's not flashing and banging at them they lose interest. Despite other opinions on here, I thought the two leads were good, with interesting back stories and a good chemistry. The whole premise of the show if really intriguing, pieces of a wrecked alien craft of unknown origin falling to earth over a long period of time. Each piece has different qualities and is widely sought after on the black market. The series starts 3 years after the initial pieces of Debris fell to earth, and a joint US and UK task force are tracking down any pieces they can find. Not a spoiler, as this is pretty much gone over in the opening titles. There were some really cool scenes, with peopl affected by the debris, and yes, an undeniable X-Files feel to it, but than can only be a good thing in my book.

Honestly, I struggled to make it through the pilot episode. The TWO leads have got to be the least charismatic actors I've ever seen cast in a series. They are the equivalent of dry toast. The overall story itself may have merit eventually but it comes across as a very shallow attempt to be the next X-Files. A costly swing and a miss here without question.

This thing fails on every level.

I love the concept and the effects are legit. The female lead is good. The male lead is a bit of an over actor. Sometimes that happens in the first few episodes. Only time will tell if he sinks in to a more realistic portrayal. The heavy focus on personal dramas for both leads with almost no background or character development isn't helping any.

The music during the mysterious parts is interest and sets a nice tone but it's too loud which makes it distracting. I'm hoping they'll tone it down in the next few episodes.

I will probably watch it in the future. It's not going to be my never miss series unless they town down the whiny drama stuff. I get that you want the characters to have back stories but no one in real life talks about their drama this many times in one situation let alone BOTH leads doing the same thing. Please tone it down a little.
