MANIFEST – A commercial airliner flies into an unprecedented severe storm and flies out five years later. The twist – for the passengers of Flight 828, it’s only been a matter of minutes. And they emerge from the ordeal with clairvoyant abilities and spiritual callings as they try to reconnect with family and friends who have moved on during the plane’s 5-year absence. Thus begins this tale produced by Robert Zemeckis. It’s a bit melodramatic at times as the passengers try to understand exactly what happened to them and why, but I like it. The work is good and I’m always interested to see what new twist will pop up next (there are many). All episodes are titled with aviation terms like “Hard Landing,” “Final Approach” and “Black Box” which cleverly piques the viewer’s interest in the events about to unfold. Cheers!
