Manifest (2018)
Formulaic and been done before, but entertaining
Sure, it's no "Lost" and never will be. It's been done before, in similar shows like "The Returned", "The 500", etc. It's also started to feel formulaic that makes it seem more like a crime drama where the case changes every day (like "Law and Order"). There's of course an ongoing story, but every episode starts with some new calling, someone new in danger, and the main cast trying desperately to piece together clues to figure out their way to rescue whoever is in trouble this episode.
BUT for some reason I can't stop watching. It's entertaining and the acting isn't as bad as some people say (I think the main actress is actually really good).
So in short, it'll never be this epic TV show like Lost, but worth a shot if you're bored and want to check out something new.
Poh and Co (2015)
Lovely feel-good show
I love how this isn't just a cooking show, it's a lifestyle show that includes cooking, gardening, home renovation, art, family, small businesses. Most importantly, I love that Poh isn't annoying - which is kind of what usually turns me off from otherwise good shows. Just a super pleasant, happy host. The food always looks delicious, is good to learn from, and it's making me want a house with a garden.
