Critic Reviews

I Will Find You ends, in the best traditions of the throwaway thriller, with a last twist that doesn’t make sense when you stop and think about it - if you want to stop and think, Harlan Coben is not your guy. On home turf, however, he knows what he’s doing.

The eight-episode mystery thriller is a gripping and immersive tale about the depths of parental love, the anguish of loss and the lengths people will go to in order to get the lives they believe they are owed.

When you sign up to watch a Coben adaptation, you know you're going to be sucked into a fast-moving story that grabs you with tentacles of twists and turns until you finish all the episodes as fast as you can (eight compelling installments in this case). "Find You" meets all those expectations and adds a little extra something with such a stellar cast.

Even when the new Harlan Coben suspense series goes off rails, the thrills keep coming and this time with a better cast, especially Britt Lower, and twists that won’t quit.

I Will Find You is a Harlan Coben thriller through and through, replete with all the usual nonsense and plot holes big enough to fall through, but the typical binge-ready formula remains inescapably watchable.

There are a few moments where the show doesn't always feel like its grounded. Despite the pitfalls, which are minor at the absolute most, I Will Find You makes a concerted effort to ensure that its mystery makes sense and comes to a satisfying conclusion.

The eight-episode equivalent of a popcorn movie—think “The Fugitive”—where the less time you spend pondering the nefarious plot behind it all, the better.

The result is a show that’s not particularly revolutionary but still a solid way to pass the time that will satisfy those who love to binge Coben’s shows the day they premiere.

I Will Find You is classic small-screen Coben, which is to say: maddeningly watchable crap with bells on.

The central mystery is solved in the series finale and I doubt that you’ll guess it, partly because the writers have successfully strewn so many red herrings about the place, and partly because it’s the most stupid plot reveal in living memory.
