High ratings for premiere


According to Deadline:

We have the first potential fall breakout series in NBC’s Manifest, which debuted to a 2.2 rating in 18-49 and 10.3 million viewers, building onto its Voice lead-in (2.0, 9.6 million), the first NBC Monday telecast to do so. The missing plane drama, whose pilot’s opening act was released online ahead of the premiere, topped the 10 PM drama competition, the Season 2 premiere of ABC’s The Good Doctor (1.4, 7.8 million), last year’s premiere night standout alongside CBS’ Young Sheldon, and Season 3 debut of CBS’ Bull (0.9, 7.3 million)


Sounds pretty good! Though I think it remains to be seen whether or not the series soars or crashes as more of the story unfolds. The premiere was a pretty good start, but it's all going to come down to whether or not future episodes can sustain that momentum.

I just read that viewership jumped more than 50% in Live+3 ratings.

Live+SD: 10.4 million
Live+3: 16.1 million

For anyone who doesn't know what this means, Live+SD is Live+Same Day. So the number of people who watched the episode the day that it aired.

Live+3 factors in the first three days of the episode being available OnDemand.

Episode 2 draws 8.5 million viewers, so an 18% drop. Sounds like pretty good retention.
