![]() ![]() Focusing on adult siblings Michaela and Ben, two imperfect people trying to integrate themselves back into a world that has moved on without them, the makers of Manifest show that they've learned from the mistakes of their forebears. It's a fantastic hook, even though it contains some elements audiences may find familiar.Īt its core, this show is a family drama exploring the lives of the Stone family. Now we have Manifest and its mystery is a doozy: An airliner missing for more than five years suddenly reappears and no one onboard has aged a day or even realized half a decade has passed. In a trend that can most easily be traced back to the success of Lost, the airwaves have been littered with the corpses of shows that kicked off with a cool supernatural mystery - The Event, Flash Forward, The Nine, Invasion, The Crossing, Surface, The Whispers, Threshold - but couldn't maintain the promise of their premise. Show moreĪ compelling mystery is a great way to start a show, but what differentiates this series from its many similar predecessors is its heart. And when Ben and Michaela discover that they're both hearing voices telling them the same thing, they start to realize that maybe the passengers of Flight 828 didn't just lose five years, but gained something they don't yet understand. Cal's twin sister is now a teenager who has grown up without a dad. Michaela learns her fiancé has married her best friend. Soon the passengers start to realize that while they haven't aged a day, time has indeed marched on. Once on the ground the plane is met by a group of federal agents who tell the passengers and crew that they haven't just completed a three-hour flight: It's now five and half years later, and Flight 828 was declared missing and everyone onboard presumed dead. That flight hits intense turbulence and then gets rerouted to a different airport to land. While waiting to board their oversold flight from Montego Bay back to New York, Michaela, Ben, and Cal swap their tickets and take a later flight. MANIFEST begins in 2013 as we meet the Stone family: Mom, Dad, their adult kids Michaela ( Melissa Roxburgh) and Ben ( Once Upon a Time's Josh Dallas), his wife Grace ( Athena Karkanis), and their 10-year-old twins Olive ( Luna Blaise) and Cal ( Jack Messina), who has terminal leukemia. Sex- Again the only concerning thing for me in the episodes I watched, was a scene in one of the episodes (I don't remember which one) is a wife and her husband are doing math together and the husband cracks something smart and the wife starts saying "sexy math" and the go into the kitchen and start taking off their shirts and say "Lets go upstairs and do some sexy math together"Īpart from these things I loved the show and thought it was amazing. After that in episode 3 the main character is investigating what happened to her, and it shows her face with blood all over it as they zip up the bag her dead body is in. Violence- The only thing that realy concerned me throughout the episodes I have watched so far was the fact that at the end of episode 2 it shows a woman watching tv, then there is a shadow behind her, then it flicks back to the tv screen and suddenly there is a gunshot and blood splatters onto the tv screen. It has an amazing plot with alot of twists. We're left with so many burning questions going into season four.This is a super good show and I really enjoyed watching it. ![]() After discovering they have new supernatural skills, the New Yorkers try to solve the riddle of their disappearance. ![]() For the passengers, no time has passed, yet the world has continued to go on around them. Manifest follows the lives of the unlucky passengers of flight 828, which disappeared mid-flight before reappearing five years later. Actor Josh Dallas (Ben Stone) revealed in November that filming was underway for the fourth and final season of the dystopian plane drama, which NBC canceled after three seasons last year but Netflix picked up for one final chapter.Ĭreator Jeff Rake said in a statement at the time, "What started years ago as a flight of fancy deep in my imagination has evolved into the jet engine journey of a lifetime." Season four of Manifest is in the works and, as always, the cast is promising it will be a wild ride. ![]()
