Departure (Universal) [ Spoilers ]

Mr E · 06-07-2019 09:42AM #1

Saw a trailer for this show this morning. 6 part conspiracy thriller, starts next Wednesday (10th) on Universal (Global in the States,not sure if same date).

DEPARTURE is a six-part whodunit series revolving around the shocking disappearance of a passenger plane that vanishes over the Atlantic Ocean and the investigative team is tasked with finding the missing aircraft and rescuing possible survivors. Featuring an all-star cast led by Emmy® Award winning Archie Panjabi and Academy Award® winning Christopher Plummer.

Apart from Plummer and Panjabi, it has a solid cast of well known faces (Kris Holden-Ried, Peter Mensah, Claire Forlani, Dougray Scott). Worth checking out I think....

Been looking forward to this for a while just hoping they stick with it being a 6 episode mini series and have a full beginning middle and end and don't cliffhanger it hoping to get a second season out of it.

Kinda lost me the moment whichever cast member said "fasten your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy ride" :rolleyes:

JP Liz V1 · 08-07-2019 09:45PM

Are we getting it over here before US?

Agent Coulson · 08-07-2019 09:52PM

It starts tomorrow night in the States.

Available on Universal on Sky.

Can't believe Christopher Plummer is nearly 90.

I'm intrigued as to the mystery but jeez the writing isn't great. It's like CSI the way it dumbs it down for the audience. The aviation forensics expert: "It's unlikely that a bomb wouldn't be detected in a passenger's luggage" - well no fecking sh1t! "The Air India bomb wasn't" (nor the 747 that exploded over Lockerbie) "Yeah but that was before 9/11..."

Wow, I'm learning so much!

Well this was steaming pile of a mess.

They had a great cast a somewhat decent script and story idea.

However whoever storyboarded it and edited made a total mess of it and it feels so disjointed.

Mr E · 13-10-2019 10:06AM

Yeah, seems a bit lifetime-quality. Only watched the first one so far.

Did you watch it all? Episode 5 seems elusive.

Agent Coulson · 13-10-2019 02:07PM

It is available on an other channel to the one I usually watch.

Agent Coulson · 28-07-2021 09:07PM

Well who knew this got a second season? It's now on Peacock.

Christopher Plummer's last role who passed away shortly after his scenes were finished.

Season 2 was a quick and easy watch with a alright storyline.

Renewed for a 3rd season.

For anyone who watches on Free-to-air the first season of Departure starts tomorrow on 5Star at 10pm.

Atlantic Dawn · 20-09-2021 12:03AM

Started this tonight, liking it so far.

JP Liz V1 · 22-10-2021 10:46PM

The second season of Departure is on Sky Witness on Monday November 1st at 9pm

24-10-2021 10:44AM

The first season is being shown on Ch5 and Sky Witness simultaneously, bit strange!

Degag · 10-11-2021 10:14PM

First season was decent enough with a very strong premise. Two episodes into the second now and again a decent start. One major flaw though was when Kendra was just driving around for some reason, then stopped randomly in the middle of the road for no reason - exactly where the fugitive happened to be. I mean..... how convenient.

Agent Coulson · 14-05-2023 04:17PM

Just finished season 3 which was based around a ferry sinking.

I enjoyed it and with only 6 episodes it is a good season length and an easy watch with twists and turns in each episode.

Agent Coulson · 27-07-2023 03:34AM

Season 3 starts on Sky Witness on August 2nd.
