Fraught with hints of conspiracy both secular and spiritual (Who messed with the plane? God or the CIA? And whatever the answer, what was the motive?), Manifest bounces around like a pinball machine with bumpers marked "sinister," "heartbreak," and "redemption," and scores high whichever one it touches.

Manifest wants to be "This Is Us" with a taste of "Lost." Over the first episode, it manages the feat with considerable skill. A good cast sells the improbable hook by at least making it emotionally probable. Read full review

Its inquisitiveness and willingness to be bold and fairly uncynical given all the things it’s trying to be is more than welcome. Read full review

It's always difficult with such concepts -- and perhaps this one more than most -- to see whether the producers can sustain enough interest to keep the show airborne. Read full review

Hank Stuever

Sep 24, 2018

The premise is certainly alluring, which is why it’s so disheartening to discover Manifest’s lack of imagination or intuition for what it might feel like, in the show’s lead example, for an extended family to be suddenly reunited. ... A viewer who might have been interested in the human element is instead served a cold plate of mystery meat--not the new “Lost,” but a feeble throwback to forgettable failures such as “The Event.” Read full review

It has captivated me enough to want to see how the episodes evolve. There are similarities to other programmes I have seen in the past however I do feel some elements of the program brings forth its own signature.

Yes, it definitely feels a bit like Lost but in my opinion, it does have its own story to tell. The way the show hints at how it will use character dynamics and their relations looks intriguing and I will continue to watch the mystery unfold as it goes along.

I'm intrigued by the mystery, supernatural themes and I'm curious where it will go. The drama isn't soapy or over the top, which is nice, of course there's some Government involvement as well but it's not clear at this stage.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. When this show first started I couldn't get enough of it but who would have thought that only 5 or 6 episodes in it would have already "jumped the shark".

The whole concept was so much fun and I sure can't get enough of the beautiful Josh Dallas but actually it was his character that has put a halt on my enthusiasm I once had for this new show. I could buy everything they were dishing out until (I don't think this is a spoiler but I'll check the box anyway) Ben Stone (Josh Dallas) obtains a job at which he is extremely over qualified (or so the story goes) to delve into the goings-on of a evil corporation that has its fingers in the lives and happenings of the passengers. A corporation that is so powerful it seems to be able to run circles around the government and (yawn) experiment on the poor victims of Montego Air Flight 828.

When Ben hung around the office of his new job waiting for his opportunity to tap into the corporations files I turned off the show. That was it for me. I think this series has gone the route of irreversible silliness and that makes me sad because I really did like it.… Expand

Just awful. I mean yes, the concept is great, but the acting is dreadful, the dialogue is cheesy. I've watched 2 and a half episodes and I would rather watch paint dry than go any further. Its the combination of mawkish self pity and self righteousness that makes this show so hard to tolerate.
