It’s hard to pinpoint exactly what that is, however. There is something about Manifest with which audiences clearly connect. It does have an intriguing pilot, but as other critics noted during its first season, the “dialogue is wooden,” and it “might be the most laughably bad show of the pilot season.” Nevertheless, the series gets consistently high audience scores from Rotten Tomatoes viewers, and over on IMDB, the average viewer rating was higher than that of the most recent season of The Walking Dead. It’s hard to say what’s so compelling about the series, however.
I’m not complaining, and though I do not like the show, I do appreciate the passion exhibited by the show’s fanbase. In fact, in 17 years of writing reviews, I’ve probably received more hate mail from Manifest fans than I have about any other show for which I have written.

Full disclosure: both season 2 and season 3 have only one rotten review a piece, and they were both written by me.
Neither the second nor third seasons even have enough reviews to merit a Rotten Tomatoes score. What’s interesting, however, is how much interest there has been in the broadcast network series, despite the fact that it has essentially been ignored by critics since its opening season. Fans are clearly passionate about the series, despite ratings that put it on the bubble over on NBC, where the average number of viewers fell from 6.5 million in its first season to 3.1 million in its third. In fact, a story about its potential resurrection was one of the most popular stories on Deadline over the weekend. Me on my way to NBC headquarters to kindly ask them to #SaveManifest /OvuK23KKOpįans have been asking Netflix pick up the series, and those efforts are might be underway.
