NBC's 'Manifest': Fans should put aside their indignation against Grace and Jared

They have both served specific purposes on the show and, if observed closely, each can be categorized under certain stereotypes
PUBLISHED MAR 29, 2019

Creator Jeff Rake gave us a plethora of characters on NBC's 'Manifest' and although this is one show which does not have a defined protagonist, each character has his/her significant roles to play. While there are a few flat characters such as Cal (Jack Messina), Saanvi (Parveen Kaur), and Ben (Josh Dallas), we also have well-rounded and dynamic characters such as Grace (Athena Karkanis), Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and Jared (J.R. Ramirez).

It is for this reason, fans' ire against Jared's changing behavior and Grace's unconventional decisions are not entirely fair. To begin with, Grace is actually a well-rounded character. She contributes the most in making the story interesting, and continuously leaves the viewer in a dilemma about her character.
