What are reviewers saying about I Will Find You?

Early reviews stress how ridiculously addictive the TV show is, despite some plot holes. Even those that didn’t seem to love the series on its objective merits had to hand it to I Will Find You: it’s still super-watchable.

1) The Guardian (3/5) 

“The script is made of Play-Doh and our protagonists are but flaps of luncheon meat pegged to a washing line. And yet still we must – must! – find out what happens. And so we stagger, dazed, into the next episode. And the episode after that… maddeningly watchable.” 

2) Variety 

“Though the series boasts a massive web of characters and circumstances, each one is there for a purpose. After all, when the wild and riveting puzzle pieces finally snap together in the final two episodes, the most perceptive viewer won’t be able to say they knew what was coming next.”

3) The Hollywood Reporter

“Faulty accents aside, the ensemble is really solid and, along with capable polish courtesy of directors including Brad Anderson and Maja Vrvilo, goes a long way toward making I Will Find You feel like less of a rush job than some of the string of Coben adaptations that have flooded Netflix and Amazon in recent years.”

4) TechRadar (3/5)

“Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You is like a midweek school dinner: its substance and style aren’t going to blow you away, but it’s incredibly dependable. More importantly, it’ll fill your appetite for whodunnits, even if you guess a few things along the way.”

5) Sydney Morning Herald (3/5)

“As a time filler, there’s nothing especially wrong with I Will Find You. It’s just the kind of show that signals the gulf between ‘streaming’ and ‘TV’ is shrinking, and has perhaps closed almost entirely. The sort of show that, if you could leave it behind in the place you were staying once you were done with it, for the next weary traveller to find, like a dog-eared paperback, you almost certainly would.”

6) Radio Times (4/5) 

“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.”

7) The Independent

″…Objectively horrid. But I admittedly kept going, soaking myself in every ludicrous plot turn, and not only because my editor was more or less holding a gun to my head the entire time… [Halrlan Coben will] get us all in the end, won’t he? Resistance is futile.” 

8) Good Housekeeping

“If you’re already a fan of Harlan Coben thrillers, you’ll know how gripping they can be and I Will Find You is no exception… [it has a] real emotional depth that we often don’t see in the author’s TV adaptations. In our opinion, it’s up there with his best work to date.”
