This ending was like when you write an essay in 2nd grade and then end it with it all being a dream and the teacher tells you that you can’t do that 😂😂😂

This is what happens when writers come up with a cool concept and start the show without actually coming up with an answer for the core mystery in advance.

19:36 “Uses his empathetic powers to absorb Cal’s cancer” is a crazy sentence

So Angelina was indeed possessed after all like her parents claimed 😅

i am so glad i watched this, i was at the point where stuff started to get stupid. Thank you for saving hours of my time

Whoa…. I’m glad this show completed and did not end with a cliff hanger. But my goodness it seems like they just slapped the ending together with paper clips and glitter glue.

Wait, how are they blaming the pilot for the plane going missing for 5 years and then returning? Like that is obviously out of his control unless there is a skip 5 years button he pressed.

Thank you for this recap. You confirmed my suspicion that this show would be a convoluted mess. I'm so glad I stuck to my decision to not watch it. Lost got me. I'll be damned if I get tricked again LOL!

Starting watching this show a few days ago, quickly suspected that it will go off the rails. I found this video, thanks for saving me 3 and a half season....

Angelina drove me insane 🙄. Loved the ending.

My mom and I agree that it seems like that had 2 groups of writers for the last season. Group A would write the plot for 2 weeks but then Group B would get it and be like "that's not how I want it to go" and retcon everything. Then it just went back and forth until the show was over lol

Thanks! I stopped watching after s2, rarely do that, but this show got soo convoluted and I stopped caring enough about the characters. This recap was more than enough for me. Glad I saw this and didn’t go down that journey in real time. 🥳

I am so glad I saw the series finale because this show took me on a wild ride

The amount of times the word "miraculously" has been used

Glad I bailed after half way through season 1. Even this recap was way too long to sit through 😂

Olive is the best character, she has been through so much and still so strong and positive, she appeared more powerful in each scene. And in the end part Zeke 's expression are so nice to see 😄

In my opinion, there's no alternate reality, it has always been one reality only. The passengers did die, then got resurrected with powers across space and time. They just have no memories of their deaths. And when the passengers proved their worth, just before the world is ended and when the plane flew into the Glow, all of the regular folks (including Olive, Jared, Drea, etc...the world), got transported back to 2013 with no memories. The whole point of the show is that everyone is on the same lifeboat, except only 828 passengers can retain memories in order to make the world (regular folks) a better place. Cal being the special case, because he lost his childhood, now he can have one again by not having any memory. Alternate reality would mean every regular folk in the original reality died, though I'm pretty sure the writers would have known that it would make all character's progresses pointless. Kinda like why did the 828's passengers get second chance with Copy and Paste version of their families and friends, while their original families and friends got burnt in the apocalypse. The original Olive, Eden, Jared and Drea would have suffered terrible deaths? It's not that kind of show. Because this show hints there is a God, so I think he hits the reset button, but instead of creating alternate reality, it's still the same reality. He transported the world back to 2013 and stopped the apocalypse. The series finale actually has a deleted scene (you can find this on KZfaq), Captain Dally is back, and Vance saw him exploded in the cockpit. I think the show wanted to hint that this time, the whole world will be judged, as this will be the real deal. The first time is just a test run by God, to see what 191 people would have done. But now, he wants to test 8 billion people. So, 828ers with memories would have to save the world, for real this time. But luckily it was deleted, because it would have contradicted the points above and because Netflix doesn't want to make another season.

I was kinda hoping we'd get a reveal on what caused the callings, time travel and objects manifesting out of thin air. I think it would be pretty disappointing and lazy to just conclude with "it was the divine consciousness".

I dont remember why i got invested in this show or why i spent hours watching weird plot twists but after all im just glad the plane landed safely in the end

The way Ben and Kayla are consistently out of breath with every line they deliver every season was ridiculous. The show got more ridiculous as the seasons continued. 😂😂😂

I'm so happy I dropped the show. It screams nothing was planned for the mystery. It sucks, because it was an amazing concept

It would be cool to see a movie about manifest about the “new world” they created and If Eden is born again and Zeke and Michaela relationship, Cal getting healed and more

Man. I am so glad I didn’t finish this show. It’s been on my list but I’d be so mad if I watched all the way through just for that ending. Thank you for the recap!

THANK YOU FOR THIS RECAP!!! Saved me so much time

I’m glad I dropped this show after mid first season, thanks for the recap!

youre quick with this!! thank you

Thanks for this summary. Needed the refresher before I start S4.

I loved this show. Yes it was crazy and bizarre and the supernatural nature of the premise allowed the writers to pull things out of their ass in a way that you couldn't really question it because "no one knows how it works", but the show was great because of the relationships and emotional moments for me.

Thanks a lot. You saved a lot of time

The begining of the show was cool. I liked the concept and all that. The mystery had me going until it started to become weird. Thank you for saving my time!

I didnt know that this show went on for so long. Most of the comments here didn't give me a lot of hope for a good ending but i loved it! Thank you for the recap ❤

Just finished I’m shook and my heart hurts but I’m also so glad

Great recap. :)

I stopped immediately after they started the wood from Noa's Ark bs, i chose well I think considering what followed. Ty for taking the time to do this for everyone

My biggest question is is what happened to the future parts of themselves. Like what happened to old Olive and Jared, Andrea and Eden they never really explained clear way. Those characters fared after they conquered their death day. If someone can answer this question I would be much appreciated. And before you say that never happened, that’s not the case because it did happen as all the characters had artifacts from when they were in the Divine consciousness.

very nice recapped..❤ thank you for saving my time😂..

As someone who wanted to watched this series but couldn’t be bothered thank you!

Thank you for saving so much time❤

Wow, that was the best recap ever

I really liked the beginning of show but then couldn’t finish it. Thanks for this video

This show just got more and more ridiculous, and I hate time travel stories where the reset button gets hit. But I loved every second of it and wouldn’t change a thing 😂

this is so convoluted... it's a wonder it lasted so long!!

This show was wild

Thanks!

I loved this show from start to finish the way it ended was perfect there was no other way it could of

I'm still watching the video but one thing you got wrong is that Sanvi didn't stop receiving callings because she killed The Major or because of her guilt. You skipped the fact that she found the cure to the callings and injected herself before Ben figured out about the lifeboat.

They went through so much! Such a good show, had me shouting at the tv lol

Your video saved me from spending time on watching two more seasons. Thanks

This is my last 'the-producers-don't-know-how-they're-going-to-end-it' "concept" show. They're either cancelled with no ending, cancelled with a hastily put together ending, or have the same flat ending - every convoluted thing that happened in the show is explained by them being dead, in limbo land, divine consciousness... Meh. It's not satisfying.

The most hilarious part of the series is the final episode when the Angel of death appears on the plane and the passengers just literally talked him out of killing them. I did love the show from start to finish it really hooked me in at the beginning and I’m glad Netflix swooped in and saved it because I was devastated when NBC cancelled it. I always thought Ben and Saanvi would have a thing (I was hoping they’d end up together not just a 1 night stand like what was the point) and I actually preferred Michaela with Zeke. She had history and chemistry with Jared but the timing was never right so I really didn’t want to see them together. It was a satisfying ending for the most part but it was clearly rushed and left unanswered questions. For instance captain Dally was murdered in the detention center but when they landed back in 2013 no one questioned why only 1 pilot got off the plane. They did address that the 11 passengers who blew up ended up missing in real life but what does that mean now ? Because that’s an entirely new storyline 😂

I wish they could start it back up following where the government is investigating what happened to the 11 missing passengers but it would most likely end up with all passengers being put in mental detention centers all over again. This show was unbelievably excellent. It requires your attention. It truly was all connected.

This show was Lost without the island. We've already seen that show. Who do they think they were fooling?🤣🤣

I love the show, wasn't a huge fan of the ending, but also, Manifest's ending is 1000% the ending The 100 should have had. If they were going to go with the whole divine judgment thing, Manifest did it properly.

Watched this series when i got sick and finished it in 4-5 days a couple months back.

I don’t understand why taking a Christian viewpoint is a bad thing? I don’t go to church or read the bible. Catholic school was a bad experience for me. However, and I never felt the show was too preachy or pushy. They just took mythology, combined it with a very secular approach to bible studies, and that was it. It was the preachy person who didn’t make it.

Bro was thinking of watching this show, thanks for saving me all that time

The show never explained why were they chosen. Also I want to find out what happened to 2024 Jarred, Olive and Drea. Did Olive lose all of her family? What happened to the rest of the world?

I just started watching this show and I liked it at first but then from one second of meeting a stranger Mikaela all of a sudden forgets the man she wanted to marry and was "so in love" with to be with a random guy. I feel bad for the character Jared, they did him wrong... thank you for the full recap, I don't think I'll finish watching the show 😅

Just finished this series and it's actually good. But I did skip a few episodes towards the end bc I'm bored. The ending did seem rushed but at least it's a happy ending for some of them 🎉

I'd be intrigued to know what happens in the new timeline tbh because the passengers all remember the events (apart from cal) but the events of Jace, Pete, Kory, Griffin and zeke haven't taken place yet in the new timeline so because they haven't "died" yet they all still exist. Would the stones help them to correct their fates before hand or not. Can the passengers interviene in future events or do they have to let the event play out.

That show wandered around quite a bit

Here is what actually happened. When the plane went missing they all were gone for 5 years in their reality. And then in another seemingly similar reality although other parallel-reality they came back 5 years laters. And they were set out to save that dying parallel earth which they assume is their native reality, The divine did this to see if they had the power to do so. However when the divine saw that they not all succeeded in this task he vaporized those who were not pure of heart (the 11 passengers) and version of earth. And returned the victorious ones to an alternate reality of their dreams because they had learned what means the most to them. So in conclusion the 5 Year Time span Earth wherein they had the callings and had to go through all sorts of trials was a parallel version of earth that ultimately was destroyed by the divine, since the "chosen participants" could not save the earth, so that Jared, Olive, Eden everyone on that version died!. They then flew back as if the plane never crashed to begin with and arrived at the terminal only to see they were never gone. And living their dream life. However they just migrated timelines thats why they have the memory recall, because it really happened!. Its a simple but powerful message that says, "love what you have" Each character in the show went through the lessons of loss And those that returned were able to accept the loss and move forward only to realize they didn't lose anything and appreciate it all thus more than ever before. But there is no doubt about it there is a Parallel Earth version connected to this TV Show eventhough it may not be obvious. Earth 1 (Original Timeline) - Where the plane went missing and never returned. (All passengers died). Earth 2 (The bridge timeline) - Where the plane went missing but came back years after. (Calling timeline where they got visions of the Earth 1 Timeline) Earth 3 (Alternate Timeline) - Where the plane never went missing and things picked up where they left it. (Passengers return to a timeline where they get to live their reward).

Saved me hours of watching...i even played this in double speed.

kind-of glad I gave up on this show in seaon 1 and again when season four started

Omg. I’m listening to season 4 now. I’ve never rooted for the end of the world more.

Enjoyed watching it.. & soo glad that they all got a second chance at end.. if only these things really happend & we were given second chances lolzz

The show started off with a strong premise then just went on a wild goose chase with meaningless plot points and dead ends. Wouldve been a good limited series because they should’ve gotten to the point a lot more quickly. I skipped to the last episode of the last season and was still confused

So the other three season are also a convoluted mess, and the ending is basically "Hey, guess what, absolutely everything that happened ultimately didn't really matter after all!"

Something about the series finale just made me popped a vessel Like I get second chance and I’m happy with some people reunifying with their loved ones but it felt so….off?? Like all that development through the series just went into flames. Low-key wanna rewrite the ending to soothe my irritation-

Some things I still don’t get after finishing the show (or maybe cause the show stretched on too long for me to retain and connect all the bits): 1. What was the point of the calling getting them to save Angelina when the she was just wreaking havoc throughout and til the end? 2. Why bother bringing back Daly and Fiona when they were gonna get killed off? What would they have even told the rest if they managed to survive Angelina’s manipulation? 3. Which brings me to this point - if they entered the glow to be basically tested and then return to the “og timeline”, then did Daly and Fiona get tested twice when Daly decided to fly again into the glow? 🤨🤔

had some great ideas i couldnt be bothered to watch 80 episodes tho, got through 6, so i'll come here for the recap, thanks sounds like it got wild 😅👍

Unpopular opinion but my favorite character was actually Eagan

Even though you could tell it went for a Christian touch during the seasons - it went full blown in the last episode and it was too much!! Plus we still don’t know the main question: why did this all happen in the first place?!! LOL 5 years invested in this show and we still don’t know why they went missing for 5 years. Plus the love triangle between Mic, Jared and Zeke was a waste of time for a storyline. There was only a build up for 4 seasons and then the execution of it was “blaaaahh”.. The break up at the airport was ridiculous! For 4 seasons there was a “will they won’t they” - kind of thing and then it ended with: -Yeah.. we’re not right for each other.. -Ok! Bye bye! Off to the next girl right away 😂 I’m ok with the one Mic ended up with but they should have cut off the other guys story way sooner. It wasn’t believable how quickly he accepted it.

Good show

Season 2 episode 13 brought me tears

‘They discover an active volcano under NYC’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

God bless you for making this recap so I don’t have to watch this show. Saved hours of our lives. I hope you get lots of money from KZfaq.

People complain about the christianity parts, but personally as someone whose always been pushed away from christianity, this sh,t was interesting, not imma go join a church intresting but ‘oh hey yall made it worth a watch’ but also not worth binging ya know? Like it would really have been a favourite back during the height of cable ya know?

Despite the rushed ending, i really enjoyed Manifest.

Season 1 with the conspiracy was interesting. But season 2-3 with all the callings were a mess and felt like never ending…

Welp I’m glad I didn’t waste time on this series. Great video. 👍

I enjoyed it.

Thanks for the recap. I'm about to watch season 4 so only watched to end of s. 3. I find when I binge watch, I don't remember all the details as I used to when watching weekly series on t.v. By way of example, I am able to remember Snowpiercer sequence of events no problem and I'm sure it is because episodes were released weekly. Just pissed off that they cancelled after promising to finish final season.

Manifest really just looked at Lost and said “Hmm…I’m going to do that, but better”

U really saved my time now i can leave this show at season 1 only😂😂

Brilliant catch-up. Why is the screen blanked every now and then ?

I don’t get anyone who hates the ending. I mean this is not a “just a dream” kind of story? Instead, this is a journey filled with love, hatred, sadness, forgiveness, despair and hope and this “just a dream” ending is exactly what the characters earned from going through this journey. Thanks manifest ; it’s been a good 5 years with you 828ers❤

This just made me so incredibly happy that I didn't watch past season 1

This started as a very very interesting premise and I was so eager to watch the first season. Then by second season I was not even looking for any further season.

Thanks! Somewhere in the middle of episode 5 I found myself unable to keep watching, but I was still curious if they've actually managed to make it all come together. As I suspected, they haven't. I'm at peace now.

So glad i watched this instead of waisting all that time on each season

Thank you so much.. I don't have Netflix

Thank you for this! Now I don’t have to waste a second longer on this train wreck of a series 😂

So a couple of unanswered questions: 1) what happened to that detention center warden lady? Was hoping she would have burst into flames too 🤭 2) so was captain Dally part of the 11 missing passengers at the end? Having a missing plane is one thing, but having a handful of missing people would be even more unbelievable than this story already is. The rest of the surviving passengers would be questioned for the rest of their lives 😮

The show was great. Why do we need to understand everything? I turned out at the end that all was connected. Great ending!

I am so glad i decided to watch this as far as i knew there was only 3 seasons but did not cotton on until it went past what i saw i was vexed that it did not end after 3 seasons so i was so happy when it finished and the ending was perfect

Crazy show👍😳☠️

Wtf!! I watched this show when it was first aired and got to ep.2 when they starting having powers and said NOPE!.

I was told that story is not a series of events, but that it should all be connected... There was a lot of connections in the story that somehow didn't make it into this synopsis. I recommend it for great acting, great dialogue. Very entertaining. A better ending than LOST.

Over all, I really liked the show. One issue I have is the ending. The fact that all the non-passenger characters basically got erased from existence.
