Has the first season of the Manifest TV show reached new heights for NBC? As we all know, the Nielsen ratings typically play a big role in determining whether a TV show like Manifest is cancelled or renewed for season two. Unfortunately, most of us do not live in Nielsen households. Because many viewers feel frustration when their viewing habits and opinions aren’t considered, we’d like to offer you the chance to rate all of the first season episodes of Manifest here. *Status update below.
An NBC drama series, Manifest stars Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Jack Messina, and Parveen Kaur. After a family vacation in Jamaica, the Stone family is returning to New York when they are separated by the airline. Adult siblings Michaela (Roxburgh) and Ben (Dallas), along with Ben’s gravely ill son Cal (Messina), are bumped to a later flight. Ben’s wife Grace (Karkanis), daughter Olive (Blaise), and parents fly ahead. The later flight — Montego Air Flight 828 — hits some turbulence but ultimately lands safely. The flight crew and passengers are shocked to learn that five and a half years have passed for the rest of the world. They attempt to reconnect with their loved ones while trying to make sense of their mysterious “second chance”.

*5/15/19 update: NBC has renewed their Manifest TV show for a second season.
Write Danny completely out of the show and i am good. I hate love triangles
Eric Gorius this show is great haven’t anticipated a show since the x-files . Please don’t cancel give 5 out of 5
Love the storyline. One of the shows I anticipate on seeing every week.
I love the show! It keeps you guessing and loooking for new clues every week. I hope it gets renewed for another season!
Great story. Keeps you on the edge of your chair. Acting is excellent. Well worth watching.
The story line sounded interesting but the writing is poor, the pace is slow and it is going nowhere. Stopped watching after episode 3
I’ve already stopped watching it. Manifest is a flop.
I to will stop watching, this last episode was a waste of one hour – a child w/a fever. Will start watching “Bull” again.
Excellent series. Very good plot/story.
Loved both episodes so far and will continue to watch. Will recommend to others too. Thanks!
I really enjoyed the first episode of Manifest. I look forward to many more episode to come. I love shows like this but unfortunately the Networks rarely give them a chance before they get canceled. Manifest is slightly similar to ABC’s The Crossing which got canceled after the first season. I also know Manifest is similar to The 4400 but I still Manifest as well. I can’t wait to see what develops
Very good pilot show. Loved the characters even though the premise is a little wonky. Sometimes wonky can be good. Love, love, love Josh Dallas.
What I saw in the pilot episode of this show is a very interesting premise, but it comes with a completely nonsensical script. Below are a number of examples: The passengers return home after being gone for 5 1/2 years and go right back to where they left off? First, the government would, and rightly so, quarantine them for many, many months while they investigated their story. This would undoubtedly include dozens and dozens of interviews and medical tests by all the leading specialists in the world. Furthermore, the media frenzy would be unprecedented as they would now be the… Read more »
Like I tell my husband, IT IS TV. use your imagination. Life plays in the background.
loved the first show how many shows are planned for this season
I really enjoyed the first episode and this show has great potential. I will continue to watch it, and look forward to the next episode as long as it doesn’t turn anti-Christian.
I completely lost interest 30 minutes into episode 1. This seems to be a total knock off of The 4400. Granted, there are a few twists but the entire premise is too similar.
The show is weird ,good actors but lost interest I would vote a 3
Don, I agree. I watched the Pilot and had that same deja bu that I had the feeling on revamping The 4400. I watched the next week for 20 minutes and thought, “been here, done this”, and read a book.
