'Manifest': The Jeff Rake-created show must shake-off its predictability when it returns on Jan 7

The creator introduced several plot points and, after a while, they only became history as the show seemed to have forgotten about them

'Manifest' is all set to return from its long fall break on January 7, and as much as fans are excited the show might just bring in characters and plot points that were forgotten after their introduction in the first two episodes. That is the shortcoming of the Jeff Rake-created show — it has a lot of plot points hanging loose but on another hand, it is drilling out theories which, to be honest, are too predictable for a sci-fi mystery show. Starring Josh Dallas as Ben Stone, Athena Karkanis as Grace, J.R. Ramirez as Jared, and Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone, NBC's show has been following the aftermath of the sudden re-appearance of Montego Air Flight 828 which went missing for almost five and a half years.
