The shows premise is interesting but the horrible acting and writing make it almost unbearable to watch. I kept watching for the sake of finding out why exactly the plane and the group of people disappeared. Without spoiling anything, the cliche's, the cringe romantic angles, the coincidences and luck that continue to happen make it quite hard to watch. Manifest also struggles with an identity crisis, it doesn't know what it wants to be. If you're on the fence of the show on whether you should watch it or not, I recommend skipping it. There's too many excellent shows on now to waste your time watching Manifest.
