The problem? They arrive on the tarmac to a welcome party of FBI agents looking for answers because it’s now November 2018, and Montego Air Flight 828 and the 191 souls on the ship’s manifest have been missing for five years. Well, Montego Air Flight 828 takes off, experiences a brief bout with turbulence and arrives in New York airspace only to be rerouted to a neighboring airport. Ben’s rationalization is that those vouchers will buy tickets to Mayo for Cal’s future treatments, an idea that’s broached and accepted before anybody stops to check if a Jamaica-based airline even has any direct flights between New York City and Minnesota. Ben takes the later flight with son Cal (Jack Messina), battling cancer, while wife Grace (Athena Karkanis) and daughter Olive (Luna Blaise) take the original flight. Michaela is an NYC cop coming off a recent unspecified tragedy, and she takes the money to avoid spending more time with her lovingly nagging parents. Among those taking advantage are siblings Michaela (Melissa Roxburgh) and Ben (Josh Dallas) Stone.

So “manifest” is a good word, and it’s also an appropriate title for the new NBC series Manifest, a beat-you-over-the-head piece of mythology-based drama with an aeronautic backdrop and religious underpinnings that, at least for the lone episode sent to critics, are far more, um, “manifest” than you might be expecting.
