'Manifest' Season 1: 5 reasons viewers remain totally hooked to NBC's mystery thriller
Execution always makes a difference, but there are other factors that work in the favor of the show. We reached out to fans in our quest to find out what made the show so appealing
A lot of factors need to work together in order to make a mystery unique and appealing to its audience. NBC's 'Manifest' is not particularly unique when it comes to shows about a missing plane, time-travel, and estranged families. The Jeff Rake creation has been following the mystery of Montego Air Flight 828, which went missing for almost five and a half years.
What was strange was the passengers on the plane didn't even realize they were missing out on almost half a decade as none of them had aged a day when they finally returned. Starring Josh Dallas as Ben Stone, Melissa Roxburgh as Michaela Stone, Athena Karkanis as Grace, Parveen Kaur as Saanvi Bahl and Matt Long as Zeke, one of the most unique factors of the show is its execution.
