'Manifest': All things the show got very wrong and should improve upon in Season 2

From leaving questions unasnwered to unnecessary family drama, the show has somewhere lost its hold on the mystery and it should return to that.

NBC's record-breaking show, 'Manifest', ended on a cliffhanger where we heard a gunshot when Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) stepped into Zeke's (Matt Long) apartment where he and Jared (J.R.Ramirez) were involved in a brawl. Fans have been left baffled at the moment, and cannot wait to find out who actually got killed. However, this is not the only question fans are left with. Over the course of the show, creator Jeff Rake has been leaving behind several clues which should have led to some conclusion about the case of the missing plane and whatever has been happening to the passengers ever since they returned from the plane. 

Unfortunately, we were only left with more questions in the end. Moreover, there are several storylines that have been incomplete. We still do not know if Bethany was ever able to help Thomas get back to his lover, or what really happened to the passengers who were being electrocuted by the Major. Also, where is the Major, and what is she up to? Too many questions, fewer answers, and fans have a problem with that. Hoping that the show will soon be renewed for Season 2, and will return, let's take a look at what fans think the show should change:
