Summary
This article criticizes Netflix's new thriller series "I Will Find You," starring Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, and Milo Ventimiglia. The author argues the show exemplifies Netflix's alleged strategy of producing simplistic, surface-level content designed for "second-screen viewing" (watching while on phones). The review pans the show as contrived, offensive, and deliberately dumbed down to avoid distracting viewers from multitasking, with plot points frequently repeated so audiences don't miss anything while distracted.
