Summary
Reviewers say 'Tracker' is lauded for its engaging premise, Justin Hartley's strong performance, and intriguing cases. The blend of action, suspense, and character-driven storytelling is appreciated. However, some find it formulaic with repetitive plots and underdeveloped characters. Complaints arise about the lack of genuine tracking elements and reliance on tech. Political undertones also detract for some, though it remains an enjoyable procedural drama.
Featured reviews
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.
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.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this series. At first, it seemed to start a little slow, introducing some background of the main character and the questionable family history. After watching a few more episodes it has grown on me and I quite enjoy it. I like the individuality of each episode; each having it's own unique story, somewhere different and keeping the main premise - Colter Shaw finds people/things for rewards. Seems some people forget that. It also drip-feeds more intrigue into his family, to keep it interesting. It has taken me a while to 'warm up' to the Reenie character, don't know why, can't put my finger on it. Justin Hartley has been excellently cast. I like the other characters as well. Having just finished S2, I am looking forward to another season.
There's only one episode out so far but it's off to a good start.
I like the lead actor. He still looks like he did 20 years ago when he was in Smallville which should probably be illegal.
It's a little too early to tell where this show is going and how much of an ongoing storyline there'll be.
Additionally, there are some pleasant nature shots. The pacific northwest always makes for a good background.
Don't get me wrong, this won't be anyone's favourite show of all time but it doesn't have to be. This seems to be one of those shows where you just sit back and have a comfortable time once a week,
