Tracker

If you've read the books, you know that Colter Shaw is very matter of fact and quick to a plan and follows through that plan by his actions. Throughout his "rewards" he's trying to uncover the fate of his father and his brother. The other reviewers are making negative comments regarding Colter that are actually true to the books. If you liked the books, this is pretty much on the mark. I'm looking forward to more episodes and since I did read all the bools, I know Colter will get into more "outlandish" situations and get himself out of it. I've read Lee Childs, too and Jack is a lot more violent, but both he and Colter always hatch a plan, see it through without, well, almost, without a hitch and save the day. And not everything is political.

I started watching because of Justin Hartley, I will watch anything with him, really. The series turned out to be very interesting and makes me feel good. The first season was a little too "by the book", even though the cases were interesting. But the second one picked it up even more and I am really enjoying the stories, they seem to be more complicated. I wouldn't call this a masterpiece but it does make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. I miss these sort of easy-going and nice stories with an interesting twist. The main story is also interesting. I also like how they are showing different places in US in different episodes. Give it a try, the first episodes give you a very good idea of what the series is about.

Yesterday (11/17/25 I watched Tracker. Poorly written where he tracks the four kids.

1. He said the father made his own camo outfit! Wrong. I am a hunter. You can buy that outfit at Cabela's / Bass pro Shops.

2. He tracks them in the forest, cliffs only to come out to cabins accessed by roads!!!!! Simple map would have gotten them to the kids. Supposed to be a rugged trail in remote area 3. Father goes through kidnapping only to give up so easily. Seemed rushed due to page script length.

4. He only has a backpack and light clothing.

5. Obviously, none of the writers and actors never set foot in rugged terrain. I always liked the other episodes, but this one was bad.

This is a very clean-cut and overly-done show but I really missed them. I rated it a 8/10 for what it is. It's not Game of Thrones. It's unpretentious, doesn't take itself too seriously and is the perfect Saturday fare that I used to watch as a kid.

The protagonist is a lone wolf, bad boy with a golden heart, dark past, falls in love with a new love interest each episode, is better than anyone else at fighting, thinking, policing, tracking, etc.. and defeats the "villain of the week" with ease.

I missed this so that's why I rated this so highly, but it's really cute and cozy and you definitely know what you're getting into. Simple entertainment, without any agenda. Just a decent guy trying to make the world a better place, one reward at a time. Quite fun.

There was a similar show a while ago called The Finder (2012) which had a similar premise. This is a bit different though. While still light hearted, it's not a comedy/drama but a drama with occasional comedy.

It could have been cool if he was the guy doing stuff - like MacGyver - but this guy has a team on his rooster that are all superfluous. All of the things his team does, he could just as well do himself.

All the scenes with his team are boring and seems to be shoehorned into an otherwise promising show. The show has the same vibes as Human Target (2010), but based on what we've seen so far, I'm not sure if it will be as good as that was.

Still, happy to see a drama/action show with 0 supernatural stuff going on. If I could have my pick, we'd have a new Punisher episode every day, but these fillers will have to do for now.
