The TV Cave Top Pick

I Will Find You (Netflix)

If you're only choosing one new show to dive into today, make it I Will Find You. The eight-episode thriller launches all at once and features a strong cast led by Sam Worthington, Britt Lower, Milo Ventimiglia, and Logan Browning.

The premise alone is enough to grab your attention: a man serving a life sentence for murdering his son learns that his child may actually be alive. Naturally, that discovery sends him on a desperate mission for answers. Add in a prison break, conspiracy elements, and plenty of mystery, and you've got the ingredients for a weekend binge arriving a day early.

Thursday's lineup offers a nice mix of streaming premieres, returning favorites, reality TV drama, and World Cup excitement.

Whether you're spending the day with The Capture, profiling killers with Criminal Minds: Evolution, or cheering on your favorite national team, there are plenty of reasons to keep the remote close by.

Happy watching, TV Cave readers.
