I loved it. The idea is really great. It got a bit bonkers towards the end but not enough to put me off and like a PP, I like the fact that it had a proper ending with all the loose ends tied up nicely.

I also binged it all this year. Much more tolerable when you are not waiting 2 years for a possible finale.

And the finale was cheesy as heck but I loved it.

Jared was very sexy!

I enjoyed series 1, but can't get 2 and 3, not going to skip to 5 on netflix, so I transfered to Dear child, that was quite good.

Interested in this thread?

I’m on the last episode on season 1! I’m going to try get it finished today (kids are off school for the strikes in Scotland) I will see how it plans. But if I watch a series that I love and intrigued I like to just keep watching it same as I did with Queen of the south!!! That was in my top 3 it was amazing!!!

Really enjoying it but can't get season 2 or 3.

SheilaFentiman · 26/09/2023 15:31

2 and 3 are on Now and Sky Max

subolooo · 26/09/2023 15:53

I've watched all the series and its great, stick with it. Theres only one thing that REALLY annoyed me and thats when someone hangs up the phone and doesnt say goodbye, not once have I heard any of them say that and they are on the phone A LOT.

JulianFawcettMP · 26/09/2023 16:20

I mostly enjoyed it but it was marred by the shocking acting for me, particularly pompous Ben. Much of his acting technique seemed to revolve around dramatically removing his glasses and staring into the middle distance. That and being shouty.

Soubriquet · 26/09/2023 16:20

I watched it! Went to watch season 2 and it’s missing. It goes straight from season 1 to season 4 so I’ve had to abandon it

toadasoda · 26/09/2023 16:31

@subolooo Ha! I noticed that too. I only said it to DH a few weeks ago, is it a USA thing?. I have seen it on other USA shows, can't specifically remember which ones now.

SuperNewMe · 26/09/2023 16:32

I absolutely love Manifest!
Won't say too much as don't want to give any spoilers but I've watched all four series.
Not sure what to make of the ending, can't decide whether I'm happy with it or not! 😁
@Lovelyjubbbly Ben's alright but Jared is OMG 🔥🔥♥️♥️

CrunchyCarrot · 26/09/2023 16:34

I've watched all of it and really enjoyed it!

toadasoda · 26/09/2023 16:35

I had to laugh at Ben managing to access highly confidential files and get invited to poker night on his first day in a new job.

adviceatthislatestage · 26/09/2023 17:37

Just finished s1 on Netflix and it started paying s4 ep1, which threw me a bit.

Thinking of signing up to Now TV and binging s2&3 in the 7 days free trial.

Reckon I could do that, if I didn't watch anything else?

GalileoHumpkins · 26/09/2023 17:51

We watched season 1 and thought it was unintentionally hilarious. Bad script, bad acting (you can almost see Jared's strings moving!). The plot was so repetitive and the whole calling thing just annoyed me.

SouthLondonMum22 · 26/09/2023 17:53

I've watched all of it and really enjoyed it. The ending was cheesy but somehow fitting and I was mostly happy with it.

I love Jared and Michaela.

PureBlackVoid · 26/09/2023 18:50

I’m coming to the end of season 1. I had high hopes, because I usually love this sort of thing. After about halfway through the season, it got a bit too convenient.

I’m still disappointed at how the NSA just blurted out the future thing in the first 20 mins, and everyone just accepted it.

It’s still watchable and there’s nothing else on at the minute so I’ll stick with it!

Islandsadness · 26/09/2023 19:10

It gets very weird so you just have to accept that is ver low brow... but I loved it.

I didn't love the ending though as it left so many loopholes - like

SPOILER

The woman who has just given birth to the janitor in the centre. She's just supposed to forget her baby?!?

It's on NowTV

subolooo · 27/09/2023 13:02

@toadasoda I think I've seen it on other US tv shows too but its so noticeable on Manifest as they are on the phone all the time. Its a standing joke in our house now :)

Lovelyjubbbly · 27/09/2023 16:10

It’s getting to the point I’m like REALLY!!!
she’s pregnant and now having callings I’m starting to think why did I watch this but I am intrigued also bens daughter olive Annoys the life out me

I'm watching this, just started series 2, we have all 4 series on the Fire Stick. I don't often get into a series enough to keep watching beyond a few episodes, I can't handle the time commitment of multiple series 😄 but Manifest is easy to watch and entertaining enough.

Lovelyjubbbly · 27/09/2023 16:32

@Vetoncall yes I’m watching all mine on the fire stick too! And I’m the same it’s good I’m on season 2 episode 1
