I just finished watching ‘Found,’ and it’s a gripping new procedural that dropped on January 2nd.

The show centers around Gabi Mosely, a really compelling lead who’s not only dedicated to finding these people, but also battling her own demons. Each episode is a high-stakes investigation, and the story is really driven by the characters and their journeys. It’s definitely one to check out if you like a good mystery!
