Fans say this gripping thriller ruined their sleeping schedules.
Netflix viewers have been completely hooked on Harlan Coben’s latest drama, and for good reason. I Will Find You landed on the streaming platform on June 18 and has already climbed to Number 1 on the most-watched TV show charts.
It centres on David Burroughs, a father wrongfully imprisoned for his young son Matthew’s murder. But when he discovers Matthew may be alive, David is forced to escape and uncover the truth.
The show only has eight episodes, which many viewers have already devoured over the last week.
Those on the hunt for another bingeable crime drama should look no further than Black Bird, streaming now on Apple TV+.
Starring Taron Egerton, the six-episode drama was inspired by the real story of Jimmy Keene. Once an aspiring sports star, Jimmy’s life takes a turn when he starts dealing drugs. He gets caught and is unexpectedly sentenced to 10 years in prison on drug and weapon charges.
But Jimmy is soon gets a life-changing offer from the FBI: he must befriend suspected serial killer Larry Hall and coax a confession out of him to help find the bodies of over a dozen women. If successful, Jimmy would have his criminal record wiped.

TV fans can get Apple TV free for a week to stream shows like Ted Lasso, Severance and Slow Horses.
The drama dives into the dangers Jimmy faces along the way, as well as convicted killer Hall’s (played by Paul Walter Hauser) chilling crimes.
Critics and casual viewers were completely captivated by the series when it first hit screens in 2022. It bagged a stellar 98% score from Rotten Tomatoes reviewers, alongside a slightly less-generous 95% rating from audiences.
These figures are significantly higher than I Will Find You, which has earned a 60% critical rating and 65% audience score.
Raving about Black Bird, one fan said: “It was a gripping thrill ride from start to finish. Beautifully acted and very well written. The worst part about the show was that it ended!”
A second praised: “Chilling but surprisingly heroic true-crime drama! The tension never lets up, pulled along by an incredible story and great performances.”
While a third fan added: “I literally watched all six episodes in a row because I needed to know what happened. It’s gripping, intense, and at some points I just wanted it all to be over because the psychological pressure on Jimmy becomes almost too much even I felt it— but in a way that keeps you hooked.”
And a final viewer gushed: “As a guy who thought he check out one episode, Black Bird absolutely wrecked my sleep schedule—in the best way.”
Black Bird is streaming on Apple TV.
