Review of Manifest

Manifest (2018–2023)
5/10
Started out good, now it's a boring soap opera.
30 January 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Grace needs to have a fatal accident. The actress is annoying as all hell. She's miscast. Has permanent scowl on her at rest face, and questions everything about her husband who is like the nicest, most loyal, best friend a person could ever want. Continuing right on from his older role as Prince Charming, as if he's playing the exact same person, but simply altered circumstances. It doesn't help that I re-watched Castaway and realized all this is, is Castaway with lot's of people instead of one. They're displaced, they come back and their love ones have moved on.

The evil government thing is overdone. A the government would have seized everybody right off the bat and kept them...period. None of this going home and then lurking in the shadows. I'd want the government to take a real hard look at a flight that landed 5.5 years later, you would too. It's like the only reason they let them go home is SO SOME OF THEM COULD GET INTO TROUBLE!

There's no way the government could do terrible things with every paparazzi on the planet chasing these people around if the circumstances actually happened. In a recent episode some hillbillies decided to paint red X's on doors and such. While this might have happened 15-20 years ago, nowadays? No. There's too much surveillance. House to house, street to street. Thy explained they disabled the house camera, but what about the neighbors 20 or so cameras? And this is a major, Earth Shattering story, where is the press? Lazy.

One of the more annoying things is in our current world the government has ways of tracking people with their Cells, their license plates and tracking devices. These guys do things like take somebody else vehicle, but still have their phones on them. Ahhhhh no! If you're trying to avoid detection you take care of all three, not one at a time.

And finally the small storylines are getting real daytime soapy.
