Manifest Season 1 Episode 3 "Turbulence" Review


Ben and Michaela investigate a shocking murder in fear that it's connected to Flight 828.

This was a great episode that was really interesting to see how everything played out, but it was also kind of messy by the end with how they chose to wrap everything up. Everything with Ben dealing with trying to protect his family while also trying to fit into Grace's life was interesting with how he reacted when things went wrong. Then the relationship between Cal and Olive was really great with them dealing with the concept of them being twins but not exactly because they now are not the same age, then the added pressure that Olive is now dating Cal's old best friend. The moments with Michaela were really great with them finally showing a bit more of what happened to her and her friend during the car crash. I especially love them showing the scene where it made it really obvious that Michaela had no choice to drive that night because her friend wouldn't wait for an uber and was going to drive if Michaela didn't and her friend was far drunker then she was. Then it was so well done in the scene where Michaela was able to get over her fear of driving in order to save her dead friend's mother. The whole murder sequence was really weird with how they made everything flow from who was accused of the murder, who was the main suspect, and who actually committed the crime. Where the guy accused was just someone who was obsessed with the passengers on Flight 828 and he was just there to save her life after he heard the gunshot. Then the husband of the women who was murdered seemed like a major suspect with the way he was acting but he had such a good alibi he couldn't have committed the crime. Then the maid being the actual murder because she was a scorned lover was the weirdest part because they did little set that up to make that part make sense because she was in love with the murdered woman's husband and they were happy together until the women came back and ruined their happiness and that is why the maid murdered her that is just a weird explanation. And I was really disappointed that they didn't go into more detail with the shadow person that was set up in the last episode. And then just overall this was a really great episode that had some good moments to it.
