Complications when the dead returns!

Manifest (Seasons 1-3; 2018 - 2021)

What happens when a flight disappears from the radar one day and lands at its destination some five and a half years later? A whole lot of questions naturally crops up. Tonnes of conspiracy theories spring from nothing, and the governmental agencies will jump into action trying to put a plausible validation to the whole speculation. The most unsettling part of the entire fiasco would be the relatives, who, after months if not years of trying to get over the presumed death of their loved one and putting their past behind. Imagine trying to place them back in their new lives!

The puzzling (maybe not if one understands time travel) is that the plane passengers did not age a day older, even five years later, further complicating the hullabaloo. One twin was stuck as a preteen in this miniseries, while the other blossomed into the hormone-raged teenager. On a happy note, the preteen was sick with cancer when he started, but afterwards, he had five years of medical advancement to fight cancer.

This addictive miniseries tries to explain the sudden disappearance of a commercial flight from Jamaica to New York. As the passenger are all connected with flashes of vision that coax them, especially the protagonist, Michaela Stone; an NYPD cop, her brother, a mathematics professor; his son and occasionally others as well, they try to prevent wrongdoings. Hot on their trails is NSA and the US Army to exploit their powers. 

After three seasons on NBC, its popularity waned, but it started a cult following after screening on Netflix. Works on the fourth season are in progress.
