red herrings and simplistic patterns What "Departure" does well is throwing red herrings, lots of them. Distracting in many ways so the solution takes time, getting there step by step, following leads and making mistakes. The acting is OK, the production quality as well, nothing to get excited about - or annoyed by. It delays and distracts, but with detours, not filler scenes. So it could be considered OK-ish, entertaining, if it weren't for one thing: its gender/sex politics. The good guys are always men. Women can show adoration or remorse; but they don't get to take decisions or decisive actions. The bad people are all women... Wait, that's wrong. "Departure" does the exact opposite. Save for a single token female low-rank "baddie" in two seasons of "Departure", it is exactly like that: Men are always criminals, or do wrong and show remorse, or are helpful "allies" in the back. Everything of importance, everything positive, is done by women. A bit cheap, that. But that's how "Departure" works. Very predictable in this regard; and that makes it far too easy to spot the distractions and the solution.
