Our Review
The Finder (2012) is a drama and comedy series from FOX. It has built a run of 13 episodes at roughly 60 minutes each. It premiered on January 12, 2012. Viewers rate it 7.7 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What The Finder Is About
In The Finder, an Iraq war vet suffers a brain injury that triggers the ability to see connections between seemingly unrelated events, objects or people.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 60 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 13 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its drama/comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Geoff Stults, Maddie Hasson and Michael Clarke Duncan to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Geoff Stults, Maddie Hasson, Michael Clarke Duncan and Mercedes Mason lead the cast.
Key roles include Geoff Stults as Walter Sherman; Maddie Hasson as Willa Monday; Michael Clarke Duncan as Leo Knox; Mercedes Mason as Deputy U.S. Marshal Isabel Zambada.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of drama, comedy and crime have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside FOX’s other originals, a 7.7/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2012 and carried by FOX with the series still ended, it lands hardest with drama and comedy viewers.
How The Finder Compares
If The Finder lands for you, the next stops are Breaking Bad, Firefly and The Wire, which share its drama/comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.
Where to Stream
The Finder is available to stream on Disney+. Availability can shift by region, so confirm on the platform before you commit.

On the whole The Finder is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Geoff Stults and Maddie Hasson doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its drama/comedy roots, It has held up since 2012 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
The Finder is a safe bet for anyone already inside the drama and comedy lane, at 13 episodes it is an easy run to work through, it is streaming on Disney+ right now, the audience score holds around 7.7/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 7.7/10. Watch it if you want drama/comedy you can settle into.
