Walter Sherman (Geoff Stults) earned a reputation as someone who was very good at tracking people down while serving in the Army Military Police. After getting caught in an IED explosion, the resulting brain damage enhanced that skill and he became a Finder. Walter teams up with his legal adviser, Leo (Michael Clarke Duncan), to find people and things law enforcement either cannot or will not find, occasionally helping out his Walter's girlfriend, a Deputy U.S. Marshal along the way. The two men also watch over Willa, a teen who was raised by gypsies to be a criminal and whose crafty skill set comes in handy on their jobs from time to time.

Critics Consensus

Even though The Finder contains charming characters, they are not enough to transcend the show's poor dialogue.

Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter 01/20/2012
The Finder, per your agreement, is the kind of show where you ask almost nothing from it except to dance through 60 minutes without making your brain sputter to life. Go to Full Review Brian Lowry Variety 01/20/2012
The wry comes through only fitfully, however, in what mostly resembles a bland variation on the sort of light blue-sky show with which USA network has enjoyed so much success. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 01/20/2012
2/4
a lot of really bad dialogue filled with Information about each and every character. Go to Full Review Chandel Charles TV Fanatic 01/20/2012
2.5/5
Even as the show enters its third week on the air, The Finder is struggling to find its stride. Go to Full Review Ellen Gray Philadelphia Daily News 01/20/2012
It's far from the best, with a pilot full of wince-inducing stereotypes. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Magic L Mar 23 Good, lighthearted fun show. Talented and engaging cast . At every episode I wanted to watch another. Never knowing what unexpected thing Walter was going to be asked to find next. I like how everyone had their own backstory and how though the focus is usually on the main storyline, we learn a little about all the characters as well. It's a really unusual take for I suppose a ' crime procedural drama' which makes it all the more fascinating to watch. I was really disappointed it ended with just the one season. Hopefully someday in the future , this gets picked up again See more Per S 02/15/2025 The Finder is cheesy all the way to the beach, with a one dimesional and shallow plot formula in a platitude environment, cliché and stereotypical characters, followed up with the same kind of dialogue and archetypical overacting. Still, some Americans have such nonsense for breakfast. See more Simon F 11/10/2024 Entertaining and fun sad to see there’s no season 2 coming See more J P 07/11/2023 Felt like a cheap knock off of Psych. See more Nitsan S 07/08/2023 I really want to like this but it's just really stupid at times. Stupidity so bad you'd expect to see it in a 90s parody comedy... but it has no punchline. I'll give it another try someday. Meanwhile I can recommend Psych. Very similar feel but with intentional comedy and a bunch more seasons. See more simon b 02/09/2023 Interesting, different & worth watching. Good actors & characters. See more Read all reviews
