Manifest
Netflix ■ Series Finale
The supernatural drama that aired its first three seasons on NBC before moving to Netflix for the first half of its fourth and final season late last year returns with its final 10 episodes today. In the aftermath of Angelina (Holly Taylor) unleashing a devastating volcanic fissure, the passengers face severe scrutiny in a world fueled by 828er hate, no longer free to solve their own Callings without constant supervision by the unscrupulous 828 Registry. Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, J.R. Ramirez, Luna Blaise, Parveen Kaur and Matt Long also star.
Deadloch
Prime Video ■ New Series
Kate Mccartney and Kate Mclennan created, wrote and executive produced this Australian mystery series, a “feminist noir” that features their signature biting comedic tone. The eight-episode series is set in the titular Tasmanian town, a once-sleepy seaside hamlet that is left reeling when a local man turns up dead on the beach. Two detectives are thrown together to solve the case: fastidious local senior sergeant Dulcie Collins (Kate Box) and a tough-as-nails blow-in from Darwin, senior investigator Eddie Redcliffe (Madeleine Sami), who are aided by their overeager junior constable, Abby (Nina Oyama). As the town prepares to launch its Winter Feastival — an annual arts, food and culture event — the three women have to put their differences aside and work together to find the killer. The first three episodes are available today; new episodes drop Fridays.
