After watching the Dallas Cowboy’s disaster, I checked on Netflix to see if anything caught my eye. It has a new “top ten recommendations for you” feature. Recommendation #4 was a dramatic series called “Manifest” about an ill fated flight from Jamaica that landed in New York five years after taking off. Everyone on the plane experienced a somewhat normal flight, and had not aged a day. But their friends and families had all gone through a five year long grieving process, and long since assumed they were all dead, and gone on to live new lives, with new people.
So, it is similar to Lost. Lots of weird things start happening. Mysterious events, characters, discoveries, et cetera. NSA, Homeland Security, and the military are all involved. Some even question if the survivors are not aliens disguised as the passengers and crew of the long missing jet.
I watched four episodes (four hours). There are four seasons of the series, which is still in production, about 46 episodes to date, with more on the way.
I am not going to continue watching it. The production quality is very high, and the writing is very good, but it is very tense, lots of plot twists, and nothing is ever as it seems. In other words, if sitting on the edge of your seat feeling anxious is your idea of a good evening in front of the tele, this is probably your show. Probably the same reason I don’t watch horror films. I get enough horror in RL.
