    The acting is terrible. I had zero emotion because the actors did not have any themselves. In my opinion the majority of each episode is so much filler that it seems to drag on and I found myself reading my phone or playing with the cat and not watching the episode. The drama seemed so forced and I also found myself rolling my eyes a lot saying "stop" to several things I saw. This showThe acting is terrible.

The drama seemed so forced and I also found myself rolling my eyes a lot saying "stop" to several things I saw. This show could be just beyond amazing. The casting was good just not their acting. I don't know how to explain it. Maybe they don't act well off of each other or something. It was just emotionally flat. I hope there is a season 2 but if the first two episodes are like the first, in respect to the acting and just boring dialog, then I'll check out and stop watching because the series is giving me nothing to grab on to… Expand

    The acting and dialogue is almost comically bad. I was looking forward to the show because of the interesting concept, alas.

    Cheesy acting and teleplay mar an intriguing (although unoriginal) shell. It's soap-opera worthy in its sappiness (which Lost never was) and the story-telling leaves us wanting less, not more.

    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.

    Seems like it should be a movie instead of a serialized weekly series.

    There are a number of really interesting ideas to be uncovered in Manifest.

    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.
