Netflix’s ‘I Will Find You’ Sits Low On The Harlan Coben Adaptation List

Netflix has a new #1, well-watched series, and for once, not a True Crime documentary, reality show or stand-up special, which has been the case, as of late. Rather, that is Netflix’s new Harlan Coben novel adaptation, I Will Find You.

The new series has Avatar’s Sam Worthington attempting to find his allegedly murdered son with the help of a former journalist played by Severance’s Britt Lower. This Is Us’s Milo Ventimiglia also stars. The series is meant to be a more grounded take on the genre, with Worthington being less of an action hero and more of a scared father, though plenty of people still get punched in the face.

Is it worth watching? Well, Harlan Coben novel adaptations tend to fare pretty well in both viewership and critic scores. In the context of the overall list, however, even I Will Find You’s Rotten Tomatoes score being positive, it is at the very low end of the onscreen adaptations. Here that is:

• The Innocent – 100% critic score
• Stay Close – 92% critic score
• The Woods – 89% critic score
• Shelter – 88% critic score
• The Stranger – 87% critic score
• Just One Look – 83% critic score
• Run Away – 75% critic score
• Fool Me Once – 72% critic score
• Safe – 71% critic score
• I Will Find You – 65% critic score
• Missing You – 50% critic score
• Lazarus – 48% critic score
• Caught – 43% critic score
