Tracker

Ideal premise and great lead in Justin Hartley. This could be a great show but it's spoiled every time the Bruin characters appear! Completely kills any tension that might be building. A real shame.

I still enjoy watching purely for Hartley though - he's got such a great screen presence and it's disappointing he's not been given better movie roles. Could big an even bigger star!

Some really well shot locations in this too, a nice change from the usual city settings in most series.

Would like to see more of a thread throughout the season rather than just the self contained episodes, (in addition to the family history, that is).

Justin is awesome. Most know him from This is us. He fit that role great, but there is something missing with him connecting to the character in this. It just feels off. A great story line, but it could use more humor. Jenson Ackles, really nailed it again, and just his brief appearances made me wish that he was the lead character in this show. I am not one to hate on Justin, but I just don't think this role suits him. We don't see him as the guy, hitting and shooting people: 😂😂 He needs to be on romantic comedy shows or Hallmark shows. So I am following the show. It's good, but it could be great. The sex appeal the show brought, almost worked. But just not enough to overcompensate for the lack of connection with the main character.

This is more of a classic style detective show rather than the hard-hitting cop shows popular nowadays. Justin Hartley pulls it off quite well as the handsome dude who, along with his witty lawyer sometimes-sidekick Reenie, charms his way through skeptical law enforcement into finding missing people.

The show remains fairly upbeat and doesn't get too dark. They start to pick up with a bit of a grittier style in S2 and I hope they continue.

I think ultimately the show will come down to how well the writers can weave in the main plot of his family background. They haven't done a whole lot with it so far, and honestly it hasn't been all that interesting - although Jensen Ackles as his brother was a major plus for the show. It has mostly been a "missing person of the week" style, but S2E9 just wrapped up a longer side story in what was the best episode to date. Hopefully the writers are able to dive further into the multi-episode or even longer-running quests instead of wrapping every story up with the end of the same episode.

The helpers Hartley has are forgettable with the exception of Reenie, so Hartley is doing all the heavy lifting.

I wasn't sure that I was going to watch Tracker because to be honest there just aren't too many good shows on network tv anymore and there a million shows like this one so for me to watch it it would have to really stick out and be good. Well, Tracker has. Besides hearing nothing but good things about this show it's also the most watched show on tv. Like I said, most of the best shows are now on a streaming service or cable but Tracker has become one of the best on network tv. I've been a fan of Justin Hartley since Smallville and have always wondered why he hasn't been given a chance to star in big show. Now that he has he's more than shown he can carry a show because he's the best part of this show.

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.
