![]() ![]() Their journeys are meticulously planned out, and each character is on an exciting path in these episodes - yes, even Jared and Olive, who have both often been treated as afterthoughts next to what is going on. There is a darkness surrounding them and the entire series, which is needed as we build toward their ultimate judgment day. After losing Grace and being tracked by the 828 registry, the cost of the Callings and the life they are now being forced to live - if they want to survive - weighs on the characters more than ever. The move to Netflix coincides with a major tonal shift, as well, something that I wonder if the series could have pulled off if it had stayed on NBC. (And, he even gets a family in flashbacks!) We also catch up with the other passengers, passengers like Adrian ( Jared Grimes) and Eagan ( Ali Sohaili), and what they have been up to over the last few years.Īltogether, the first half of the final season is a fantastic continuation of the series. Ramirez) has suffered a major setback during our time away, but his role in what’s going on with the passengers becomes much more active. But, as we very quickly learn, Ben’s car has become something of a home for him as he’s constantly out looking for leads on Eden and Angelina, who the police have put little effort into finding since the very beginning.ĭrea ( Ellen Tamaki), Michaela’s partner from the NYPD, has a new turn that is one of the most intriguing of the season, as we catch up with her now working for the 828 registry. He’s become a father figure for Olive and Cal, giving them much-needed advice and love, while using his complicated empathic abilities to help counsel others struggling with addiction, the job he uses to provide for the entire family with Ben and Michaela out of work. Zeke, for instance, has really stepped up to provide for the whole Stone family in Ben’s near-constant absence. In addition to the Stone family and the passengers, Manifest Season 4 also focuses much more on the various players in their lives that haven’t ever really gotten their due time on the show but are now able to because the episodes have been extended by 5-8 minutes on Netflix.

As Cal points out early on in the season, Ben has hardly looked at him for the entire two years we’ve missed. This is especially true for Cal, who is blamed for Grace’s death by both his sister and father because of the sympathy he showed Angelina. Meanwhile, Olive ( Luna Blaise) and aged-up Cal ( Ty Doran) are learning to step out on their own, embracing adulthood as much as possible after the trauma they’ve experienced, but still struggling with losing their mother, sister, and essentially their father all on the same day. But, they are severely short-staffed and without any real funding, as this operation isn’t supposed to exist anymore. But, ultimately, it feels like a punishment because of the terrible acts committed by some of the frightened and otherwise awful passengers that accompanied the Stones on the flight that completely changed the trajectory of their lives.ĭespite this governmental interference, Vance ( Daryl Edwards) and Saanvi ( Parveen Kaur) continue their work from Eureka as best as possible since it was shut down after the plane disappeared in the final moments of the third season’s finale. This is one of the government’s ways to supposedly keep track of the passengers for their own safety, given that there are dangerous individuals that wish them harm. The biggest change of all is the introduction of the 828 registry, where passengers are forced to check in once per month (or more, if you are summoned) or they will be immediately hauled off to jail. ![]()
