‘I Will Find You’ review: a familiar Harlan Coben mystery

Crime mysteries about missing children are familiar territory, and Harlan Coben’s latest series follows that well-worn path. I Will Find You centers on David Burroughs (Sam Worthington), serving five years in prison after being found guilty of killing his son Matthew (Ashton Cressman), until a photograph shown by his sister-in-law Rachel (Britt Lower) suggests Matthew might still be alive; friends Philip (Peter Outerbridge) and Adam Mackenzie (Jonathan Tucker) help break David out while a manhunt led by Max Williams (Chi McBride) and Sarah Greer (Logan Browning) unfolds.

Other figures—crime boss Nicky Fisher (Clancy Brown), the commanding Gertrude (Madeleine Stowe), Hayden (Milo Ventimiglia), and Cheryl (Erin Richards)—populate a story full of secrets and potential connections. The show’s strengths are practical: on-location filming, from a former penitentiary to Times Square, gives sequences a gritty immediacy, and the stuntwork, chases, and shootouts deliver suspense.
