I Will Find You
What's the Story?
I WILL FIND YOU begins in a prison cell, where David Burroughs (Sam Worthington) has been locked away for the murder of his son. When his sister-in-law (Britt Lower) brings evidence that his son might still be alive, Burroughs must find a way to track him down, no matter the cost.
Is It Any Good?
This seemingly umpteenth Harlan Coben series falls short of modest expectations. Since their inception, Coben miniseries have been reliable sources of high-floor/low-ceiling crime drama, but I Will Find You is a little different. The action has been relocated from Britain to Boston; fittingly, the production looks like a late-1990s cable drama, the action confined to a few characters in small rooms, with a couple of stock action pieces here and there to break up the monotony. Even the setup lacks common sense, as Worthington's central character is sent to a prison where the warden has been friendly with him since childhood. Though some U.K.-based Coben adaptations are better than others, one thing they've shared is energy and urgency. This U.S. edition feels mailed in.

Discuss the violence in the show. Do you think it's the right level, or is there too much? What are some of the moments that stood out as particularly scary or gory for you? Would the show be as impactful without the violence?
