'Manifest': Why the NBC show has been the best on TV this fall
Nothing seems to be able to keep the Jeff Rake-directed NBC show, 'Manifest', from taking away the crown of the best show this fall. Starring Josh Dallas, Melissa Roxburgh, Athena Karkanis, J.R.Ramirez, and Parveen Kaur, the show follows the sudden disappearance of Montego Air Flight 828 which went missing for almost five and a half years. When the plane returned other than the passengers' age nothing had remained the same. Although they hadn't aged a day, their near ones- already presuming their death- moved on with their lives.
With every episode, the series has been introducing new plots and turns to enhance the overall mystery shrouding the sudden disappearance of the plane. However, it is the subplots, the characters, and the neatly packed script which has contributed to the show being rated the best on TV this fall season. According to TVLine readers' ratings, NBC's sci-fi thriller is the best new fall show, receiving a seriously impressive 82 percent approval rating. This means that the Jeff Rake-directed show is now one of the most esteemed TV shows joining the previous Popularity Contest Winners such as 'S.W.A.T.', 'Designated Survivor', 'Blindspot', 'Gotham', 'Sleepy Hollow', and 'Arrow'.
