When Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers were relieved. But in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years -- and after mourning their loss, their friends, families and colleagues had given up hope and moved on. Now, faced with the impossible, they're all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds, and some of the returned passengers soon realize they may be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible.

Critics Consensus

Manifest's attempts to balance supernatural mystery and melodrama largely work thanks to its well-chosen cast -- though it could use a few more distinguishing characteristics.

Ironic that, as religion rents this planet apart, again, in the Middle East, my 'religion-involved!' spidey senses began to tingle as soon as my spouse and I began to watch this show, 'for her'. I am not a fan of 'science fiction' to begin with but, as an aging man raised by a wanna be 'christian minister', my life's lessons are that religious affiliation bears no merit in science or the evaluation of 'moral conduct'. What we do for love! I cannot wait for this series to be over so that I do NOT need to watch its references to 'divine guidance' that were too sickeningly evident to me from the start of this series. AAARREGHHH! PLEASE nail me to a cross, someone, to take this pain away!!!!

I watched the whole series. Likes: Family goes through ups and downs and are loyal to each other. Characters grow. It had fun, if confusing, supernatural events. Dislikes: I have to call out the social engineering. The main villain, Angelina, is the only one I remember praying or referring to God very much, and then she does something evil. That is writers trying to engineer us, the audience, into thinking all religion is bad. Don't fall for this trick and point it out when you see it. The unknowable glow is the closest thing to God the others react to. Also, there is a lot of sleeping around.

Season one really held my interest and was easy to binge watch. It seems odd to say about a fantasy show that requires you to suspend disbelief, but while the Grace/Danny/Ben love triangle is plausible, the daughter feeling she has two "dads" because of a guy she's known for 2.5 years is simply absurd. Completely unbelievable and unrealistic as anyone with a child, divorced or otherwise, can tell you.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

It's Arquette's 'Medium' but with bad writing. Very safe, pass-the-time show. However, if you pay it enough attention you realise how shallow and non-sensical the characters are. Something to watch to pass the time.
