Netflix: Manifest

 Netflix Series: Manifest

By: Lori Walker Sartain

I began watching this series with a spark of hope that it was going to be original and fresh.  I actually binged the first three or four episodes then I just couldn't take it anymore.

What I had hoped for was a new twist, a new plot and they gave us that at the beginning but then it just laid dormant like it was dead.  The characters never grew, they never changed.  I didn't see any future changes or story plots that intrigued me.  

I'm not even going to call out any characters.  The acting was fine, it was the writing, the storyline, the plot.  It just never worked it's way into my "wanna see more" mind.

I felt like the writers didn't know where it was going and just kept writing in circles hoping a spark would hit.  No flames for me.

While I have seen some posting on social media that they love the new series, I do not.  I think some of the actors have a great shot for new pilots but I think this one is dead in the water and never manifested into a hit.

I give it One Red Hot.
