This article contains spoilers for ‘I Will Find You’
You may have noticed that primetime television has been taken over by the World Cup. Great news if you love the beautiful game, but if the idea of sitting through 90 minutes of Tunisia vs Japan doesn’t set your world alight, it’s hard not to feel as though we’ve been abandoned by our best broadcasters. So, this week I turned to the streamers, which seem to have also paused any decent output, presumably for fear that we’ll all be watching the football.
And that, dear reader, is how I ended up watching I Will Find You – a new series by Harlan Coben, a writer I don’t usually rate, on Netflix, a streaming service I don’t like. Desperate times.
To my surprise, the eight-part drama is a zippy, moreish adaptation of Coben’s 2023 novel – his 33rd – of the same name. It takes us to a high-security prison in Maine, where David Burroughs (Avatar’s Sam Worthington) is serving a life sentence for the brutal murder of his three-year-old son Matthew, a crime he is adamant he didn’t commit.
