I do feel, though, that this series will hopefully provide some more possible answers as it progresses. However, this season is a bit confusing in terms of its mythology and the drama between the characters. Overall, I feel like ‘Manifest’ is off to a very strong start and I would recommend the series. The dialogue for this season has also seen vast improvement, with characters such as Cal having some excellent lines. Various shootings and murder provide us with moments of extreme suspense, guilt and sympathy. One particular character, Zeke, has a very interesting arc in the second season. The mystery of the flashback visions to flight 828 remains the most compelling aspect of the show. 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. The “callings” throughout the first season were used as a narrative tool that felt a bit disconnected from the five-year jump, which doesn’t occur this season. Whether you liked the season finale or not, LOST will forever be the defining mystery series on TV that revolutionized the way these mystery dramas play out. A good cast sells the improbable hook by at least making it. Manifest is a show that’s captivated me, frustrated me and at times seriously tested my patience across its 16 episode run-time. The way the show hints at how it will use character dynamics and.
When the first season ended, I felt that the drama focused more on rebuilding the relationships of the characters that disappeared, which is evident through the well-written dialogue. 'Manifest' wants to be 'This is Us' with a taste of 'Lost.' Over the first episode, it manages the feat with considerable skill. Yes, it definitely feels a bit like Lost but in my opinion, it does have its own story to tell. For me, this is currently the second season of ‘Manifest’, the supernatural drama originally aired on Sky One. I guess most of you, like myself, are binging any series you can find.
