‘Manifest’ Saved With 20-Episode Fourth & Final Season On Netflix

Garbage TV show. Can't believe anyone wants to save this. It's plagued with early 2000s writing problems, and I don't even know how they could fix the plot.

They should have let it rot.

Enough with religious crap like this.

Good. It should be against the law for Networks to just cancel a show that already has multiple seasons out of the blue without giving the creators at least 1-2 seasons for closure. Its just a dick move to the fanbase you collect otherwise.

That said, I am absolutely surprised this show got resurrected out of all the other shows out there that deserve it.

My girlfriend started watching this and every time I catch a glimpse of an episode it makes absolutely 0 fucking sense.

I asked her what was up with all the weird religious shit on it and she straight looked at me and goes "what religious stuff" and then there was an entire arc about Noah's Ark or some shit.

Yeah the premise was very interesting. I actually enjoyed the first few episodes where it was people dealing with the consequences of just up and disappearing for 5 years and coming back like nothing happened. Then it just got stupid and went in directions that complete took away of what made it interesting in the first place.

the premise of the show is that they've received a calling from god — a conclusion they reached at church. The entire show is based on the Bible verse Romans 8:28 (flight 828). It's not just Christian mythology… I'm really not sure how a show could be more churchy than one about the Bible. Every time they they talk about everything is connected or callings (aka 100x an episode) they're referring to this Bible verse.

Well damn...that makes sense. The ending is gonna be terrible isn't it?

I feel like they tried to step away from that a bit by bringing in other religions in S3, but yeah, some of the stuff is pretty heavy handed.

It's a terrible show but I watched all 3 seasons of it

I agree with this whole post

for those interested in discussing the show, I made a thread but this can also be the OT. I'll just copy/paste my OP from there to here

Not surprised considering how long it stayed on Netflix Top 10, it was outperforming a lot of their originals.

Yeah, but even then they maintain one of the central themes that you should reject science in favor of blind faith. In the final episodes that have aired, the lines are blurred a little bit about which scientist is to be blamed for invoking God's wrath through research, but the message is the same

To be clear, I like the show. I think it's pretty dumb, and I measure the drama by how quickly Prince Charming whips off his glasses, but it's enjoyable and I look forward to the conclusion. I just would never argue it isn't preaching. I can look past that
