Manifest: Season 1 | Ratings & Reviews

"And yet the ambition on display is admirable. Manifest is brazenly emotional in the This Is Us mold, unafraid to nod at the real toll of missing five years of life... even as it lays the groundwork for a somewhat cracked procedural."

VarietyVariety

"That's where the show goes from desperate-to-be-inoffensively-vague to unimaginatively wishy-washy. As a viewer who prefers authenticity and specificity, the pilot to Manifest is light on both."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"The deep, complicated emotions involved here should be the best way to tell this story and sustain the show - and, in the hands of more thoughtful outlets on cable and streaming services, they would be."

The Washington PostThe Washington Post

"With an ensemble cast and a lot of moving parts, "Manifest" is getting an assist with its liftoff by following NBC's The Voice."

CNNCNN

"Manifest has a frustrating lack of propulsion, a central dullness whose force field is so strong it bends all the interesting parts toward itself."

The New York TimesThe New York Times

"There's enough intrigue here to keep watching, but Manifest only has a couple of episodes to get the tone right, or else people will check out."

DeciderDecider

"Manifest may have a bumpy flight ahead if it hopes to rise above the many failed mystery shows that have disappeared before it."

IGNIGN

"It's at least worth watching at least one more. Just in case it does happen to be aliens."

IndieWireIndieWire

"Shows with complex premises need to provide more to be given a comprehensive review. The pilot alone was not enough to make me want to get on board."

PastePaste

"Manifest has some good qualities."
