I haven't seen lost or X-files but I've heard of them. Manifest sounds incredibly interesting and the "miracle" by netflix to complete the series is probably a sign for me to see it idk.
I hope this new ownership won't rob the show of the enrapturing effect you described that makes me want to see it cuz if that happens then I'll be greatly disappointed.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one. Thanks a lot for sharing!
