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.

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.

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.

As an eight-and-done go-go-go thriller, “I Will Find You” certainly passes the time; it’ll be a decent-enough weekend binge for plenty of Netflix subscribers. As the seemingly intended meditation on what parents will do for their children, it’s too slickly, generically amped up to have much real-world resonance.

Somehow, the show takes itself too seriously and not seriously enough, leaving it an inorganic mess that not even its cast can elevate.

“I Will Find You” is fun, as long as you don’t mind a mystery that makes no sense (a common Coben problem) and take no offense when outrageous coincidences are passed off as artful plotting.
