Netflix has adapted Harlan Coben’s thriller novel, I Will Find You, as a limited series, now streaming in multiple languages.
Coben is a bestselling author whose Myron Bolitar mystery series won the Edgar, Shamus and Anthony Awards. Several of his novels have previously been adapted for Netflix and Amazon Prime.
The series, adapted by showrunner and creator Robert Hull, follows David Burroughs, wrongfully serving a life sentence for the murder of his three-year-old son.
When his former sister-in-law and an investigative journalist, Rachel, arrives with a photograph suggesting the boy may still be alive, David breaks out of prison to find him and clear his name.

What Early Reviews Reveal About "I Will Find You"
Despite its pedigree, the series has drawn largely mixed reviews.
According to Variety, 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.”
Daniel Fienberg, in his The Hollywood Reporter review, wrote, “I Will Find You is a disposable mixture of repetition, red herrings, narrative dead-ends and illogical resolutions, but in part thanks to a top-notch cast led by Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, Chi McBride and Logan Browning, even the rampant wheel-spinning remains generally watchable, amid the irritation.”
Writing for IndieWire, Ben Travers described it as something other than slop, noting it possesses a level of outlandish ingenuity slop does not.
Jesse Hassenger from The Wrap wrote, “I Will Find You feels designed to spin its wheels as fast as possible, for 30 to 40 minutes at a time, rather than offer anything more substantial than momentary (and lightly preposterous) thrills.”
“…Worthington and Lower have the opportunity to carry this material, but it can’t help but feel beneath them in interestingly different ways,” he added.
Critics have largely pointed to pacing problems and an over-reliance on implausible plot developments as the series' key weaknesses.
