'Manifest' Season 1 recap: Here's how the title is a major clue to the mystery of the missing plane

Jeff Rake has proved that when it comes to creating a mystery you don't need a board or a monster, you just need a name.

'Manifest' may have declared its finale for the first season leaving us wondering about the mystery surrounding Montego Air Flight 828, but the truth is "the answer was always there," as Olive says in the finale that was aired this Monday.

Coming from creator Jeff Rake, the show has broken all records for NBC by pulling in a massive audience, and let's just say its subtle disposal of clues here and there in every episode has worked to its advantage.

Starring Josh Dallas (Ben Stone), Melissa Roxburgh (Michaela Stone), Matt Long (Zeke), Jack Messina (Cal), Athena Karkanis (Grace), and Parveen Kaur (Saanvi Bahl), the show has been following the plight of the passengers who hadn't aged a day, in spite of going missing for almost five and a half years.
