Manifest (2018–2023)
4/10
Began nicely, but writers have lost it!!

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of those shows where writers and creators had an idea and they started shooting it without any endgame. So now they're just dragging it and making things up as they go. They started well, I'm fan of both sci-fi and mystery and government conspiracy and this looked like it had all. But the writers have lost it completely. All the talk of first season was around Cal experiencing the calling more extremely and commonly than anyone and the "major" was the antagonist, like these government project was ready to hush and kill and kidnap and track everyone on the plane, they were so much after Cal.

Comes second season and I'm into 9th episode and they've hardly even mentioned major and government project experiment and all that. And Cal who was the centre of callings, hardly has 15 minutes of screen time. And all the things are now centered on xers against 828ers. They began an angle, trying to explain what happened to the flight, they find it was something black lighting, they end it with the meteorologist dead and the pilot and the researcher vanishing with the plane and after that episode they don't even mention about them, let alone explore or find about it. They find Zeke from a cave, where supposed black lightening happened, but they don't care enough about it to go there and explore the cave or the mountain stone wall where they found an image of two people holding hands. They don't try to find out who made it, how old it is.

That's what I'm talking about they'll show something and just forget about it completely.

This show has more plot holes than actual plot. They just keep doing things without any sense or explanation.

Oh and the acting is hardly even mediocre. I'm gonna finish this season and forget I ever saw it.
