Okay, let's talk about Manifest. Specifically, Season 3. And even more specifically, how many episodes it has. Ready?
The Big Question: How Many Episodes?
So, you're binge-watching (again?) and you're wondering, "How many episodes are left?" I get it. I've been there.
Season 3 of Manifest clocks in at a cool 13 episodes. Yes, just thirteen! Seems like a Calling for more, doesn't it?
A "Thirteen" Kind of Buzzkill?
Now, some might say thirteen isn't enough. Especially after those wild cliffhangers the show is known for. I mean, come on, Manifest!
But here's my hot take: Thirteen is perfect. Hear me out.
Think about it. Enough to get you hooked. Enough to make you theorize endlessly. But not so much that the plot gets bogged down in filler. We've all been there with other shows, right?
My Unpopular Opinion: Shorter is Sweeter (Sometimes)
This might be controversial. I'm bracing myself for the backlash. But sometimes, shorter seasons are better.
Imagine if Season 3 had 22 episodes. Would it have been as tight and suspenseful? Probably not. There would have been extra detours.
Those detours might have included some boring storylines, or dragging out minor mysteries for way too long. Nobody wants that!
Thirteen episodes keeps things moving. We get to the good stuff faster. The mysteries are revealed (sort of) at a reasonable pace.
Cliffhangers Aplenty!
And let's be honest. Even with only thirteen episodes, Season 3 delivers on the cliffhangers. Seriously, who else was screaming at the TV?
Every episode seemed to end on a "Wait, WHAT?!" moment. Good job, writers! Good job at getting people to use that Netflix “Next Episode” button.
Those cliffhangers are what make Manifest so addictive. Thirteen episodes filled with crazy twists and turns. What's not to love? (Besides the long wait between seasons, of course.)
Thirteen Episodes: A Blessing in Disguise?
So, next time you're watching Season 3 and feeling disappointed that it's only thirteen episodes, remember this:
It's better to have a tight, suspenseful, and exciting season than a long, drawn-out one. And Manifest does suspense pretty well. Okay, it excels at it!
Plus, it gives you more time to re-watch and dissect every single detail. You know, to try and figure out what the heck is actually going on with the Callings. Which, let's face it, nobody truly understands.
"Season 3: Thirteen episodes of pure Manifest madness. Embrace it!"
Ultimately, the number of episodes doesn't matter as much as the quality. And while Season 3 had its ups and downs, it kept us talking. And that's what counts, right?
So, enjoy those thirteen episodes. Savor the suspense. And get ready to theorize about what comes next. Because with Manifest, anything is possible.
