Season 1 Review: A drama that will hook those who seek from their viewing a charge of adrenaline, if not always the most rigorously challenging of mysteries. ... Panjabi fills in the gaps, creating a protagonist worth following. She has a game scene partner in Plummer, whose now-decadelong third or fourth act audiences are lucky to have a chance to witness; his insinuating velvetiness placed in counterpoint to Panjabi’s steel spine makes for a drama that punches above its weight.

Season 2 Review: The second season is still well-plotted and satisfyingly mysterious as long as you're new to all this. On the other hand, the first season is better written and has Plummer. Read full review

Season 1 Review: There’s lots about Departure that’s really silly, but Panjabi and Plummer carry the series into the realm of respectability. Read full review

Season 1 Review: I loved the cast of "Wait, when did I last see them?" stars and occasionally dug the twists and turns, but ultimately by the sixth episode, there were too many convolutions and contrivances for me to have much interest. Read full review

Strong acting and solid plots make this worth a look. Season 2 is actually better than season one though Christopher Plummer just has a minor role. In season one he was outstanding.

In the first few minutes, a transatlantic flight disappears. The remainder of the series has a team back in London trying to solve the mystery. It’s fascinating to watch the investigative work, but the inevitable conspiracy adds layers to the process. Performances are all strong and the plotIn the first few minutes, a transatlantic flight disappears. The remainder of the series has a team back in London trying to solve the mystery. It’s fascinating to watch the investigative work, but the inevitable conspiracy adds layers to the process. Performances are all strong and the plot continually adds twists to keep it interesting. There’s not a lot original here and some of it pushes credibility, but as a procedural with a disaster at the center (or in the water) it’s enjoyable.… Expand

I can sum up this series with the following sentence. "Just like Air Crash Investigations, but worse and boring". Its unfortunate that they didn't pay more attention to technical detail.
