Manhattan is currently streaming in Australia on AMC+ Amazon Channel and Lionsgate+ Amazon Channels, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and AMC+ Amazon Channel, and it earns its set pieces rather than just delivering them. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. 135 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. John Benjamin Hickey is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action its context. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on AMC+ Amazon Channel.

Manhattan arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Manhattan moves fast and earns its action sequences rather than just delivering them. Set against the backdrop of the greatest clandestine race against time in the history of science with the mission to build the world's first atomic bomb in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Flawed scientists and their families attempt to co-exist in a world where secrets and lies infiltrate every aspect of their lives. The physicality John Benjamin Hickey and Olivia Williams bring elevates every sequence. Across 2 seasons (2014–2015), it never lost the thread that made it worth starting. The action sequences are expensive-looking without drawing attention to their own budget — they serve the story rather than interrupting it. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want their entertainment to move fast and not waste a scene, Manhattan respects your time. If you have already watched Roswell, Manhattan is a natural next step. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. John Benjamin Hickey is the obvious draw, but the supporting cast gives the action the context it needs to land. The action holds up because the character work underneath it never lets up.

Manhattan was cancelled in 2015, created by Sam Shaw — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
