When Montego Air Flight 828 landed safely after a turbulent but routine flight, the crew and passengers were relieved. But in the span of those few hours, the world had aged five years -- and after mourning their loss, their friends, families and colleagues had given up hope and moved on. Now, faced with the impossible, they're all given a second chance. But as their new realities become clear, a deeper mystery unfolds, and some of the returned passengers soon realize they may be meant for something greater than they ever thought possible.

Critics Consensus

Manifest's attempts to balance supernatural mystery and melodrama largely work thanks to its well-chosen cast -- though it could use a few more distinguishing characteristics.

There's a reason many reviewers found it dull and more plodding than enigmatic. It's a so-so series. As it progresses, the Christian theme is less than subtle.

Shows with complex premises need to provide more to be given a comprehensive review. The pilot alone was not enough to make me want to get on board.

It's at least worth watching at least one more. Just in case it does happen to be aliens.

The cast is great (especially Melissa Roxburgh and Josh Dallas as a brother and sister), the plotting terrific and, while the script and some scenes tend to skew overly teary and sentimental, it all works just fine.

They've set enough plates spinning in the air here to make you want to come back for more, but how it'll all develop God - Her again - knows.

I like the idea/ premise and the constant mystery of who or what did this to them. And then you’re constantly being hit over the head with scripture. Also, Josh Dallas is just horrible. Not just his character and his incessant whining, but the actual acting makes you want to slap your face

Was enjoying it at first. Cool premise. Liked the creative angle that 8:28 added to the deeper meaning. But then, bam, lesbian kissing scene. Should have seen it coming when a whole episode was about the poor, downtrodden homosexual escaping the homophobic Jamaica. Whatever. Can't watch anything without sexual deviants shoving their perv ideas on you. The end. Left the show to find something else.
