The Finder

Walter Sherman is an Iraq War veteran with an uncanny knack for locating things and people that seem impossible to track down. He runs a small, offbeat investigation operation, taking on clients who need answers other detectives can't supply. Walter uses observation, intuition, unorthodox methods and a stubborn refusal to accept "no" for an answer. The show follows his interactions with a tight circle of helpers and clients, and how his skill pulls him into moral gray areas and personal entanglements without giving away major plot twists or endings.

The Finder premiered in 2012, created by Hart Hanson and Richard Greener, and aired on Fox as a spin-off from the series Bones. The main cast includes Geoff Stults as Walter Sherman, Maddie Hasson, Mercedes Mason and Michael Clarke Duncan among others.

Though the series ran only briefly, it built a modest but loyal audience and has been remembered by fans for its quirky tone and character chemistry. Michael Clarke Duncan's role attracted attention because of his established profile, and the show's link to Bones kept it visible to a ready fanbase.

Critics and viewers gave it mixed to generally positive reactions, reflected in a vote average of 7.078/10 from 173 votes. Reviewers often praised the lead performance and the show's willingness to mix procedural cases with character-driven moments. Recurring themes include the fallout of wartime experience, the ethics of finding what people want kept hidden, and the improvisational, human side of detective work.

The Finder did not earn major industry awards or high-profile nominations during its run. Its legacy rests more with fans of offbeat dramas and viewers who appreciated its unusual premise and the performances, rather than with trophies or long awards-season notice.
