Adi Chaham week 10- Manifest

Recently, I have started watching a new show called Manifest. The show is about a flight, specifically flight 828 that was mainly just like any other flight except for some unexpected turbulence. However, when arriving in New York City, the passengers, flight crew and captain  come to the realization that they have been gone for 5 ½ years. For everyone on that plane though, it's only been a few hours but for everyone else, it's been five and a half years of mourning, grief and believing these people from flight 828 are dead or have disappeared. Once landing, some met with their family, friends and loved ones while others didn’t but either way, time had passed, people had moved on and the world had changed. 

Even though I am not far into the show and am only halfway through the first season, I really enjoy the show. A few days ago, while watching the show, I thought to myself, What would happen if I was on that plane? Now of course, this show is a supernatural, fantasy, science type-show but nevertheless, it’s really good! So I started thinking about what my life would be like after the plane, how I would feel and specifically, how I would treat my loved ones  now that I am back home. Would I barge back into their lives like nothing changed? In reality, much did change. Even though it was only a few hours on the people in flight 828’s time, it was a long time on everyone else's watch. Five and a half years. That's a really long time. People moved on, people started new lives, new families and these people just came acting like nothing changed. Now of course, this is no one's fault. But, as I was watching the show, this is what bothered me the most: the fact that these people come back like nothing has changed, like their families haven’t moved on a bit and most specifically, like their families have been sitting there for 5 ½ years waiting for them. Now, don't get me wrong, maybe some people did sit and wait but, I don’t think many did. 

In complete honesty, I am not really sure what I would do and whether or not I would just barge back into my family and friends lives like nothing had changed. Because, even though it’s unfair to my family and friends who have moved on, these people are my only family and friends and someone who just got off a flight to find out it's been 5 ½ years, needs some comfort and love from their families.  Even though this bothered me, I still highly recommend this show. 

Go and watch Manifest on Netflix!

Have you ever watched this show? What do you guys think? What would you do if you just landed and realized it's been 5 ½ years? Would you barge back into your family and friends lives like nothing ever happened?
