Harlan Coben’s New Netflix Show is… a Bit Much?

- Is it good? We share our honest thoughts.
- What’s the vibe? We talk about the look and feel.
We Just Saw ‘I Will Find You’
Okay, so we, the BuzzMedia crew, finally dove into Harlan Coben’s newest series on Netflix, I Will Find You. It’s an eight-part story. Starring Sam Worthington. It’s all about a dad. A dad who went to jail. For killing his own son. Yeah, intense stuff.
Honestly? The plot feels a little… stretched. Like, Coben’s stories are usually wild rides, right? This one takes that to a whole new level. We found ourselves raising eyebrows a lot. It’s a *contrived conspiracy thriller*, as the critics are saying. Think confusing twists. And characters doing things that make you go ‘huh?’.
Visually, it has that typical slick Netflix look. Lots of dark blues and grays. Trying to create a serious, suspenseful mood. The *aesthetic* is definitely there. It feels like a big-budget thriller. But sometimes the visuals can’t quite hide the shaky plot. We’re all about a good mystery, but this one felt a bit too unbelievable.
Our Take
Look, if you’re a die-hard Harlan Coben fan, you might enjoy the ride. It’s got action. It’s got suspense. But for us? We felt it leaned too hard into ridiculous twists. It’s a show that tries *really* hard to shock you. We prefer stories that feel a little more grounded. Even when they’re thrilling. It’s a definite binge, but maybe keep your expectations in check. It’s not his best work, in our humble opinion.
