Manifest is an American supernatural drama TV series that revolves around the lives of passengers and crew of Montego Air Flight 828. The plane from Jamaica to New York City experiences a brief period of severe turbulence. When the plane lands, the passengers and crew learn that over five and a half years have passed while they were in the air, during which time they were presumed dead. As they reintegrate themselves into present-day society, the passengers begin to face the fact that their lives—and loved ones—are not the same as they were before, while they also begin to experience guiding voices and visions representing events yet to occur.

Manifest was met with a mixed response from critics upon its premiere. On the review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 57% with an average rating of 6.24/10. On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the series got a score of 55 out of 100, indicating “mixed or average reviews.”
USA Today’s Kelly Lawler gave a positive assessment, explaining how she felt that Manifest’s simplicity and variety of drama subgenres might help it outlast similarly themed but ultimately unsuccessful past shows. Variety’s Daniel D’Addario commented that the pilot of Manifest didn’t “pretend to have answers; it only poses questions. But its inquisitiveness and willingness to be bold and fairly uncynical given all the things it’s trying to be is more than welcome.” Los Angeles Times’s Lorraine Ali remarked that the series had a compelling premise and that the many mysteries it introduced “point toward a potentially addictive series if Manifest allows its gripping supernatural narrative to rise above its characters’ less interesting personal dramas.”
In a negative review, The Washington Post’s Hank Stuever compared Manifest negatively to other network science fiction series while The New York Times’ Margaret Lyons commented that “Manifest has a frustrating lack of propulsion, a central dullness whose force field is so strong it bends all the interesting parts toward itself.”
Canadian actress Melissa Roxburgh (age 27) plays the lead role of Michaela Stone in Manifest, a detective who works at the NYPD’s 129th Precinct and a passenger on Flight 828.
