Netflix’s new eight-episode thriller “I Will Find You” is reviewed as a contrived, often ridiculous series that wastes a cast led by Sam Worthington, Britt Lower and Milo Ventimiglia.
The critique says the show fits Netflix’s “second-screen” formula: repeated plot points, blunt exposition and twists so simplistic they seem built for distracted binge-watching.
David Burroughs’ story drives the series — a father jailed for five years over his 3-year-old son’s murder who escapes after learning the boy may still be alive.
That setup, adapted from Harlan Coben’s novel, is undercut by convenient plotting, thin characters and flat performances, reinforcing complaints that some Netflix thrillers favor volume over depth.
