I accidently saw this was to air so recorded it. I thought this was going to be like Lost or something similar, but it seems to lean more towards X-Files which is ok. I'm not sold but it was good enough for me to look at the next one. The bible verse angle may be interesting if they don't have the only easter egg being 8:28.

In a strange yet compelling "This Is Us" meet "Lost" way, Manifest works really well from the pilot on. The core themes becomes clear within minutes, and the emotions are present right away thanks to a solid cast (Josh Dallas and Melissa Roxburgh are both fantastic as Ben and Michaela). It is extremely interesting to drop the sci-Fi side a little (but not too much) to explore the aftermath of flight 828 in a rather honest and grounded way, without ever going overboard with pathos and forced feelings. Characters are pretty well written, and it is easy to like them and forge a bond with them. The plot, even if it is something that modern fiction has observed and channeled for a while (missing planes and what happened to their passengers), remains fresh thanks to that 5.5 years twist, and the supernatural touch isn't phones or overwhelming. A very good start to a promising show !

I was able to check out the first and second episode tonight. I am now left wanting more! There is quite a bit of solid character development, especially with the family who seems to be the focal point of this series. I was really hoping that it wouldn't be strictly how all the passengers interact with life once they get back... it seems like much more than that. Such as what really happened for those five years, do the passengers have some special powers, are they connected, etc. overall I would say go check it out for yourself, you might like it too!

I was so excited to see this new show and I thought I would be disappointed because it looked so good!! I WAS DEFINATLEY NOT disappointed, I can not wait to see the next episode. This is the best show on TV that I have seen in a very long time. I cant wait to see the next one!!!!!!!

It's a new different story starts as normal. Main character acting is perfect from first episode.

Someone on here gave the show a rating of 1/10 because when they went to watch it. All they can view are the trailer and some photos. Not very helpful when you base a review on that.. I myself give episode 3 a bad review because it isn't being broadcast til 8/10/18 and its still only the 7th..

These airplane crash series is always the best. intriguing

As usual as soon as God or the Bible is mentioned the Atheists that more than likely did not even watch this Pilot, Season 1, Episode 1 rated the Entire Series a rating of 1.

I saw the first episode when it first aired on TV years ago but wasn't interested enough to continue further. Got it recommended to me again in modern day and decided to give it a shot. The first episode is as uninteresting as I remember, but it sets up the plot fairly well and has an interesting premise. Try it out maybe!

It was it keep me watching and waiting for the next episode
