'Manifest' Episode 4 review: The show's subjective nature makes the Jeff Rake thriller a multi-dimensional story

With the 'angel' calling and the family turmoil, 'Manifest' has taken the high road to marvelous storytelling in Episode 4
UPDATED OCT 16, 2018

Creator Jeff Rake's mythological sci-fi 'Manifest', starring Melissa Roxburgh and Josh Dallas, seems to be gradually tilting to a more family-driven drama than a mystery thriller. However, it has managed to retain its religious undertones. Episode Four, which aired on October 15, Monday at 10 pm, other than portraying the Stone family in their worst states of dilemma, has revealed that Saanvi and Michaela (Roxburgh) are seeing the same things in different places and (probably) at different times.

After Saanvi (Parveen Kaur) found the mark on Cal's (Jack Messina) head in the third episode, she did not waste time in finding out if she has a similar mark on her head. Turns out, she does and the consequences of that discovery took center stage in the fourth episode.
