Manifest - how absolutely ridiculous! I’m on last episode

(Spoilers!!)

know I’m late to the party with Manifest but hoping someone will still be willing to talk about it with me!
Absolutely loved it when I first started watching it but my god did it get ridiculous! Noah’s Arc for Christ’s sake?!

I’ve ploughed through because I just want to see what happens on the death date (I’m just about to watch last episode) but it’s been bloody hard to keep going. The “older” Cal is so annoying, his constant look of shock and bewilderment - terrible acting and don’t even get me started on Zeke … the bits where he experienced rage looked like a toddler about to fly into a tantrum! 😂

And Ben/Mik stone’s dad … the stroke face actually had me laugh out loud 😂

Angelina totally unconvincing and over the top, Olive annoys me but I don’t know why because her acting isn’t bad compared to the rest of them … Jared is decent eye candy

Anyone else want to discuss?!

I too loved the start but by season 3 just couldn't continue. I skipped and watched the last episode.

What absolute wonderful rubbish this series was. Enjoyed every second of it

unicornwonders · 20/01/2024 08:26

the ending/last episode completely let the whole series down in my opinion. It’s such a shame though, it started of so good and had me hooked

LameyJoliver · 20/01/2024 08:27

Oh, it was dreadful wasn't it! I was sadly hooked though. I just couldn't stop myself 😁

StopTheBusINeedAWeeWeeAWeeWeeBagOChips · 20/01/2024 08:27

I really enjoyed it, every time I thought they managed to hit the wildest storyline they could they managed to up the game in the next episode. I was wondering how it would end but everything got nicely tied up.

I don't understand why Michala picked Zeke over Jared though, that was the most unrealistic part to me 🤣

Where are you watching this? I started watching it on Netflix but they only have the first and last season but the ones in the middle are missing. Tia

OhpoorMe · 20/01/2024 09:00

Oh I loved it even though it was daft!

I also thought (and still think) that the actress who plays Michaela is the most beautiful woman ever!

Me too

I found it very silly but watched it all.

I may have laughed out loud at certain bits. In the final episode.

I may also have cried a bit!

So actually the final episode was fairly lovely.

Aposterhasnoname · 20/01/2024 15:04

After you’ve watched the last episode google manifest deleted scene. It’s was supposed to be the ending. For some reason Netflix decided not to show it, IMHO it’s the best bit.

Series 2 and 3 are on Sky/Now TV. It was originally on Sky for 3 seasons, then Netflix picked it up and did the final season 4. Then season 1 left Sky and went to Netflix so I imagine that sometime seasons 2 and 3 will expire off Sky and Netflix will get them.

BobnLen · 20/01/2024 19:11

I loved Manifest and I loved the ending, I might have to watch it all again. I watched it originally as it was shown weekly so it has been a while now

PilatesForAll · 20/01/2024 19:15

I haven’t been able to get past episode 3 of the final season because it’s so utterly shit. Please tell me what happens though because I want to know. I just can’t waste any more of my life on it. Season 1 was fab, half of season 2 then it just turned ridiculous.

I haven't been able to get past season 2!

Crinkle77 · 28/01/2024 18:47

I started watching on Netflix and really enjoyed it but then I realised there were series missing and started getting fed up towards the end of the series so read some spoilers about the end. Sounded ridiculous so glad I gave up on it.

Piemam · 12/02/2024 22:15

It sounds ridiculous written down but it's absolutely mesmerising to watch! I tried describing it (and I'm verbose) and ended up saying it's better than it sounds!

I liked some of the over the top characters- I think that's needed in a series like this, and I like the mythology used in it, although that took a while to get used to.

Does anyone think it should have ended differently?

Cocacolacarrie · 12/02/2024 22:21

Those of you who made it to the end, I salute you! It was ridiculous! But I think in someway that's why I enjoyed it 🤣. I definitely remember the series that was on during Covid was particularly ridiculous and I just watched it for the comedy factor. I made it to the start of the last series but it was like pulling teeth then. The cast all deserved Oscars for being able to keep a straight face!

I would have liked them to have landed on the island from lost! Was ridiculous enough to have happened!

LondonWasps · 12/02/2024 22:25

What happened on the death date? (Never made it past series 2)
