Started very well. Reminded me of good old days from the first season of Lost. During the way, the show looses itself. Bad actors, bad script, zero logic... but its just that thing that "well, i'm already here... so let's keep watching". I would say... if you have better things do to with your time, go for it. But if you stick to the end, besides it all, i found the final message pretty sweet. This is one of those series to watch without big commitments or expectations... for crochetters like myself, the best serie to be passing while you divide your focus with some knots. Oh, and take some deep breaths on some episores where you just wanna quit lol.

Started out with a new and interesting theme. Some of the acting is terrible and one of the main characters consistently looks puzzled, no matter what emotion he is supposed to be portraying. Getting past his annoyingly horrific on screen persona is very problematic as he is so unbelievable when he is mad or sad or happy....he just always looks dumbfounded, sort of like a deer in headlights and it is very distracting from the plot.

They need to pick up the pace of this because it is starting to DRAG with very boringly predictable plot lines of the government vs them.

It has a LOT of potential and I would hate to see it canceled before the big reveal.

The ending of Manifest left me with mixed emotions. While it provided closure to some storylines, it left many questions unanswered. The rushed pacing and compressed resolution felt unsatisfying. However, the heartfelt character moments and the final revelation had a poignant impact. Despite the flaws, the performances remained stellar. Overall, I appreciate the show's attempt to tie up loose ends, but I can't help but feel a sense of longing for a more comprehensive and fulfilling conclusion. Despite the shortcomings, Manifest will be remembered for its intriguing premise, engaging characters, and the way it kept viewers guessing until the very end. It's a bittersweet conclusion that will leave fans pondering the mysteries long after the final episode fades to black.

I started binge watching this show yesterday. Plot is interesting but most characters are not. Grace drives me nuts. She flip flops all the time. I cannot believe anyone in her sphere can tolerate her!!

I was very hopeful when I saw the previews for this program. I wasn't, however, hoping for such a focus on the sci-fi (or whatever you want to call it) aspects. Like others said, this is reminiscence of a Lost or similar program in reverse. I had hoped this program would focus mainly on stories of the passengers integrating back into their old lives, dealing with all the changes that had taken place in those five and half years. The focus seems split more than I'd like it to be, although, let's be honest - if this had happened in real life, we can be sure the authorities, the scientists, and everyone else would be following their every move until an answer was found.

That said, I disagree with some who claim the acting is lackluster. The acting is low key and subdued, just the way most real people live. If the actors were overly dramatic, it would change the thrust. This is low key real life behavior or people who are supposed to be genuinely confused. In that regard, I think the acting is fine.

All pilot episodes have to accomplish a lot - they have to capture the attention of scores of people, all with different interests. I suspect better is yet to come. Many shows are discarded by folks before the programs are ever given a chance to develop, one way or another.

I intend to watch this program for at least a few more times. If it goes downhill, that will be it. However, I think it has good potential to last for at least a few seasons and keep us interested.

This had a great start, then softened a bit in the middle. But the final season got back on track and the ending - wow. Most of the actors are awesome. They portray real personalities. Sometimes what they go through is hard to fathom, but it all works in the end. I ended up having to binge watch most of the final season.

Should there have been another season? They certainly could have filled it with more twists and turns, but no, that would have just dragged it on too long. When I heard that Season Four would be the last I was disappointed. But it turned out to be just right.

This could possibly offend someone's religious sensibilities because beliefs are infinitely varied. But it's only a story. And it's a good one.

Started off good now it's dragging, needs more scify again like the trailer gave us in the beginning.

Interesting storyline, but like the TV show Lost, I wonder where it will go and how it will explain five and a half years missing. Lost was good in the beginning, but I slowly lost interest as it just became ridiculous to believe in. I'll give it a few more weeks, I really hope it surprises me

Grace extremely annoys me... Come on, guys , create character more realistic without so intensive false caring about kids and others issues.

I think the premise is interesting, not sure how much sci-fi will come out of it, I think that will make or break the show. I'd like for it to be a little more realistic.

It reminds me of 'Under the Dome' before the twist came out and *under the dome spoiler* it was about aliens... and became dumb and then sadly canceled. Hopefully, Manifest doesn't follow suit.

I'm not one to watch a network show like this, but my mom wanted to watch it so i figured why not. the personal storylines are cheesy and predictable, but the overall arc of this story is interesting. i am curious as to what happened on the plane. i'd watch the show to see what unravels, but this isn't some life changing television.

Honestly the beginning of season 1 is kind of slow paced and this s what some people might have based their opinion on. Which is to bad for them because they lost an opportunity to appreciate an interesting and intriguing storyline. There are no limits to where the writers could go with this concept because anything is possible, but the most important is as long they keep us hooked with more action about the super natural and less about the characters personal lives which is what television series have a tendency to drag on and make the viewers lose interest. But with the way season 2 has begun, I'm already anticipating season 3 cross my fingers. Great storyline very interesting and intriguing, great acting, great directing, great job.

OK, great premise! What a great mystery having a crew missing for 5 years, so it intrigued me enough to watch the show.

I like the show. There are enough high points to keep the story moving - for about 20 episodes but it's still going. I've kept watching albeit less intensely just to get to the conclusion of the story however after season 4 they are still going.

The story - to keep it going has gone in several different directions at this point and I just feel exhausted with it. I don't care anymore. They've stretched this far too long.

As much as I like to see things through to the end, especially when I've invested so much time into a show at this point I feel taken advantage of. This story could have been a good one if kept to a far shorter course.

I never usually do reviews, but on this occasion I felt I had too. I read some of the reviews before watching this like I usually do, but think I'm gonna stop doing it beforehand. Why? Because most of the negative reviews about this show are about how 'it got boring so gave up' well I am on episode 14 now and I am well and truly hooked! You don't need constant action to make a story, but each episode you get a different story about one of the passengers and another little piece of the mystery unravels, it really is what you make of it and how much you put your mind to it... PLEASE don't give up if you start watching it....yeah it's not the most amazing show I have ever watched, but hey, it really doesn't deserve the low score it has.

What started interesting quickly became very boring. Mystery is one of my favorite genre of series and that's what made it appealing to me. The first episode started promising even though I already had my doubts after some bad acting and annoying characters. I gave it a shot anyway, until episode four, and then I couldn't take it anymore. It's just isn't quality and that is required nowadays when you see all the great shows there are. I'm not going to continue losing my time on this one. I'm normally not a quitter but in this case I surrender and move on to something better.

The Passengers of Montego Air flight 828 embark upon a seemingly ordinary flight back home to New York when their plane experiences heavy turbulence. While the plane arrives unscathed, the passengers are informed upon arrival that they disappeared for 5 and 1/2 years despite them only having been in the plane for a few hours. Once back in New York the passengers and crew of flight 828 must deal with not only the massive time gap, but also unwanted public attention, government surveillance, unexplained visions and voices, and a sinister conspiracy involving malicious groups with interest in the passengers.

From its high concept hook to the fact a plane is the catalyst of the ongoing plot, Manifest bears more than a few similarities to ABCs cultural zeitgeist Lost. Lost helped open the door for bolder and innovative serialized storytelling in TV and for the most part networks have dialed back their attempts to directly ape Lost, but occasionally one (such as Manifest) comes through. While it doesn't reach the heights of Lost clones like Jericho or Heroes' first season, it also doesn't embarass itself like Terra Nova, Revolution, or Under the Dome.

A big part of what makes Manifest work is in its emotional core of "how does one adjust to a world that has moved passed them?" underlying its central themes. The show does a decent job establishing this ad makes fertile ground for interesting conflicts and drama, but unfortunately this is where the obligatory Lost elements rear their heads and distractingly so. While some characters have trouble securing employment upon return, others(such as a cop and doctor) are able to return to their lives with very little. This is where Manifest starts to stumble, while the series is allegedly focused on the characters dealing with a massive shift, it's also got elements of a police procedural, a medical drama, a conspiracy thriller, and even some elements of Touched by an Angel and Early Edition with its reliance upon "cryptic mystical messages" directing our characters through the story.

There's a good central idea in Manifest that makes for an engaging mystery, but it's suffocated by excess bloat, poorly developed characters, and an over reliance on the mystery box format established by Lost. It'll keep your attention in parts, but will also try your patience in others.

People writing these reviews far more clever than the writers of this show. Its been 3 seasons, throw us a bone already !! Too much filler and not enough solid clues to figure out what is going on. And yes the main male actor is so over the top he's become really annoying. By this time one usually finds at least one of the characters likeable but no. Not this time.

Interesting premise, but not great acting and kind of cheesy production so far. Will probably give it a chance for a couple of episodes more...
