"MANIFEST" "PILOT" ORIGINAL 09/24/2018 (10:00PM - 11:00PM) (Monday) : Returning to New York from a family vacation in Jamaica, the Stone family is separated when adult siblings Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and Ben (Josh Dallas), along with Ben's gravely ill son Cal (Jack Messina), are bumped to a later flight, while Ben's wife, daughter and parents fly ahead. When that later flight lands, the passengers are bewildered to discover that five and a half years have gone by. They attempt to reconnect with the loved ones who mourned their passing and moved on long ago, and try to make sense of a mystifying phenomenon steering them to act in ways they don't understand. Also starring Athena Karkanis (Grace Stone), J.R. Ramirez (Jared Vasquez), Luna Blaise (Olive Stone) and Parveen Kaur (Saanvi Bahl).

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
Yeah, I’m definitely getting an The Event 2.0 vibe from this one. Even similar to a show that was on, I think this past summer, where refuges from the future turned up on a beach. The idea sounds interesting, but the trailers haven’t even been that good.
And oh my gosh. How has it been 8 years since The Event premiered?! And yes, sounds like it’s all kinds of weak. https://tvline.com/2018/09/23/manifest-review-nbc-sci-fi-drama-premiere-josh-dallas/ |
re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
Highly interested in this one. Love unique shows like this, instead of your standard cop, lawyer, and doctor shows.

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
Hope it's decent, previews look pretty good

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
I thought the 15 minutes of the pilot they had online was interesting enough for me to tune in and finish it.

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
Teaser intrigued me, set youtubeTV to record it.

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
this smells like a show that will have a great pilot, then be tediously bad, then have a great finale ending on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved due to its inevitable cancellation.

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
I wasn't planning on watching but fuck it, i'll record it and check it out. I have a very limited new show schedule this year, so why not.

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
Oooooh, now that was an interesting pilot. I didn’t watch any trailers or commercials, so I was expecting a plane crash and a small part of it being a LOST ripoff, but nope.
I’m sold. The cast seems all right so far, but I’m definitely sticking around for more. |
re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
I agree MLBFan24...this was a real win for me and I am in. I just will hope for the best, that is the show runners not making things up the second before each ep airs, and that this type of show can gain enough eyeballs so at least a dozen eps make it to air.

I thought there'd be a little more of the "wow the world has changed in five years" but they only briefly touched on it with the "got rid of our landline" thing. Not even a "who's president now?" mention. |
re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
So they only quarantined the people on the plane a few days then just let them go back to their lives? You'd think they'd do a lot more testing on them and keep them longer. Also, they just leave the plane sitting out and not in some hanger somewhere to analyze?
Also they didn't really show the public and media reaction to such an event. Wouldn't the passengers being doing the talk show circuit? |

Obviously a lot of stuff is "moving the plot" related, like the plane being out where they could easily see it blowing up, the dad not talking to his son about hearing voices once he figures out others probably can, the passengers not really banding together in some kind of support group before they all gathered together, etc. |
re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
I thought it was pretty good. I think it is a limited premise though. I'll keep watching for now.

Note to self. If your inner-voice is going to talk to you... try to be more specific. :)

I just assumed it was her mother's voice from beyond and she was limited to two words per message. Like she ended up with a crappy afterlife messaging plan. |
re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
I can't recognize one person in the cast.

re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
Those are some obscure references. I assume the producers think the theme or story is more important then casting stars in the show.
|
re: Manifest (Now on Netflix)
In for cancellation!
With concepts like this, I would prefer a mini or extended series. I want to see more than a movie yet after a dozen episodes it will be spinning it's wheels a bit to just end on a cliffhanger to maybe get renewed. I can't recognize one person in the cast. |
