When mysterious wreckage starts falling from the sky, a secretive international agency is tasked with figuring out what it is, where it came from, and most importantly, what it can do. British agent Finola Jones and American agent Bryan Beneventi are partners who have very different styles -- she's warm, intuitive and detail-oriented, and he's charming, confident and guarded. However, they have no choice but to trust each other as they track down the hundreds of pieces of debris scattered across the Western Hemisphere. Each fragment has an unpredictable, powerful effect on the everyday people who find it, changing their lives in unexpected and often dangerous ways. Every discovery is also a race against time, because shadowy outside forces want these powerful objects for their own nefarious purposes. Together, Finola and Bryan will uncover a new mystery, and the truth unfolds piece by piece.
Debris — Season 1

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though Debris' early characterization is a shade too ambiguous, its central mystery has enough spooky sci-fi juice to keep viewers guessing - for at least one season.

As much as they're trying, the actors don't yet have the prowess to carry the emotive weight of the show. To find its space in this television landscape, Debris should rely on the power of the titular space junk. Go to Full Review Kristen Lopez IndieWire 03/16/2021

"Debris" is still setting things up but what's been presented is engaging so far. If it can find a happy medium between the worlds established by "Fringe" and "The X-Files," and enhance the banter between its leads, it could be something really special.

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. Go to Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 07/30/2021
3/5
I can cautiously recommend the show on the basis that I liked Fringe a lot and feel there is plenty of potential in the premise, but I'd be careful about getting too invested if I were you. Go to Full Review Kaleena Rivera Pajiba 03/16/2021
I want to like this show, but I need it to freaking relax a bit. Go to Full Review Monique Jones Common Sense Media 03/13/2021

Debris is actually a meditation on how to engage with the messiness and chaos of the human experience. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

babarizam D Feb 4 This show is too fast to explain the basic stuff. Many compare it with Fringe but that show did a great job in character building. See more Ink C Nov 9 Canceled just when it was really getting good and finding it's legs See more Jill P Aug 16 What kind of a sh*thole network cancels the most unique show in the history of scifi shows?!?! Oh, NBC because they hate having people watch their shows. See more Ew I @EWMOVIE 12/14/2024 I thought the script and acting were poor and the whole thing looked dated. Those graphics showing they were in London ... really! Trying to present itself as deep but it just seems silly. Waste of a fantastic concept. See more Mark H 06/14/2024 This seems like a fluff piece for the CIA. Here, they are the good guys, who try to grab alien tech first before somebody bad gets a hold of it. The problem is that in reality the CIA would use such tech to assassinate politicians and overthrow democratic governments. The show is boring, despite some cool alien tech, and I have to believe it's because the writers and actors are just going through the motions of fluffing the CIA. See more Kelly 04/16/2024 I’m so disappointed, this was a great idea and could of been excellent but unfortunately the beginning feels like we’re halfway through, no explanation of seeking where this ship came from and why it crashed. Also there are way too many things happening, the debris causes this the debris causes that, teleporting, then cloning and building some mechanisms, then it’s a portal nothing is consistent yeah it was an alien ship not several ships from several different planets. Anyway it’s a real shame because it was a brilliant idea but each episode looks like it was written by a different person and there not communicating See more Read all reviews
