Rendezvous - S4-E9
Continuity mistake: While Michela is chopping onions and crying Zeke comes up and hugs her with his head over her left shoulder. Her hair is brushed behind her right ear, away from Zeke. Suddenly, there's a jump cut to a tighter shot and her hair is down in front of both ears and she brushes the left side back as she kisses Zeke. (00:03:30)
Continuity mistake: In season 1, the pilot episode, the tail fin of the plane is blue with a white logo only. Starting season 3, the tail fin has "Montego Airways" written in red above the white logo. In most episodes, the tail fin is shown from the other side than the one shown in the pilot episode but in the last episode, when the tail fin falls in the water, you can see both sides with the red writing above the logo. (00:30:57 - 00:41:27)
Continuity mistake: In the hospital ben sits next to his wife's bed. Ben has no glasses on. In one cut he has the glasses on and the next they are gone again, then a few seconds later you see him put on the glasses. (00:19:00)
Revealing mistake: When they are walking under the starry sky at the end of the episode the lighting starts. The clouds are dark and heavy...and behind the stars.
Factual error: When Saanvi reads the "paternity confirmed" test results, the child's alleles do not include the obligate/matching allele. (00:27:30)
Factual error: Escorting Saanvi and her colleague to see Dr. Cooper, NSA Agent Tim Powell flashes a gold badge and shouts "NSA" to the officers. NSA agents carry ID Badges, but not gold shields. Further, they would never identify themselves as NSA personnel to outsiders.
Factual error: The thief Michaela chases down, would actually have a very hard time getting his hands on the cold medicine supposedly used to cook meth. A law was passed in 2006 that requires all retail stores to keep these products behind the counter and in a locked case because they contain pseudoephedrine, which is used in the manufacturing of illegal drugs, i.e. meth. This episode is set in 2019, yet the thief is able to swipe the medicine from the floor display. Not possible. (00:06:20)
Other mistake: Micaela and her partner are chasing an RV. A man from the RV throws a propane tank in her path. You can tell from the sound and how it bounces that it is empty. When the car hits it, the tank explodes, and she swerves the car into the brush and the airbags deploy. Later, as she is driving on the same road she gets a call that the RV has been spotted. Her car shows no damage. (00:17:44 - 00:29:10)
Revealing mistake: Grace is lugging two suitcases down the stairs. She is acting as if they are very heavy. Ben offers to help and takes them from her. But he carries one with a bent elbow, and it is obvious that it is not really heavy at all. (00:13:30)
Answer: Only superficially. Manifest doesn't even begin with a plane crash, but rather a plane disappearing for 5 years with the assumption that it crashed, which turns out not to be true.

In the particulars it seems different, but the overall plot is the same. A seemingly random group on an airplane experience a weird event and spend years trying to figure out what happened. Let's hope the reveal in the final episode is not as disappointing as "LOST" - they're actually all dead.
