Urban, "The Finder: Preview Premiere", 'Urban Cinefile'].

The critic for 'Screen Daily' said that:
Unable to unlock the potential of their sun/surf/sleuth concept, Avalon and veteran director Frank Shields instead deliver a compendium of overfamiliar situations, characters and dialogue, with an occasional ill-judged sequence of 'comic relief'. A committed bunch of talented actors do their best to energise an otherwise limp affair whose true home may well prove to be off-peak cable television.[http://www.screendaily.com/the-finder/405133.article Frank Hatherley, "The Finder", 'Screen Daily', 26 February 2001].
