Part soap opera, part procedural, part low-key Christian-baiting supernatural sci-fi epic, "Manifest" (https://www.looper.com/587699/the-untold-truth-of-manifest/) is a genre-defying series with a fierce cult following that makes absolutely no sense in all the best ways. Told from the perspective of the Stone family, the series revolves around the fated Montego Air Flight 828, a crowded commercial airliner that inexplicably lands five-and-a-half years after its originally scheduled arrival. Not only do the passengers not age during the interim, but they soon begin to experience what they come to know as "callings" — supernatural hallucinations compelling them to action. As the 828ers struggle to reacclimate to their lives, the story becomes progressively stranger. Tears of blood, a freaky cult, secretive agencies, resurrections, an empath, city volcanoes, and even Noah's ark — either it's all part of some divine plan yet to be revealed or no idea is a bad one in the "Manifest" writers' room.
Originally airing on NBC, the series was canceled after three seasons only to perform so well on Netflix that it got its own resurrection after spending several weeks on the streamer's Top 10 list (https://www.forbes.com/sites/travisbean/2021/09/22/manifest-became-just-the-third-show-to-reach-the-century-mark-on-netflixs-top-10-charts/?sh=6504a0847161). When show creator and executive producer Jeff Rake tweeted (https://twitter.com/jeff_rake/status/1431640080091865088?cxt=HHwWgICzwarEmt4nAAAA) the news that Netflix would bring the show back for a final 20-episode season, fans the world over rejoiced. Premiering on November 4, 2022, the show is finally back and as off-the-rails as it ever was. If you can't get enough of the 828 madness, buckle up while we take a look at the best and worst of "Manifest" Season 4 (https://www.looper.com/1090727/heres-how-manifest-fans-got-a-season-4-out-of-the-show/), Part 1.
