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
The second season is much better than the first. Finally, the tracker is starting to live up to the series' name - and we see more trackers, a little more survival, spatial awareness that suits the terrain, and even more eccentric characters who live in the wild.
There is still a lot to improve, but it is definitely a change for the better As someone who decided to watch this series just because of the name, I almost created it in the first season which was not at all related to nature and outdoor skills; But I'm happy that my hope that the central element I was looking for in the series really appears more and more in the second season and it also makes all the stories in the series much more interesting and cool. For those who have the patience to endure the first season and wait for the second, it is recommended.

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.
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 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.
Tracker is every bit as good as the reviews here have pointed out. It's about a man named Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) who's dad raised him giving him tools to be a survivalist. He uses those skills and his natural instincts to find missing people and collect rewards. He has team that includes a lawyer, a business handler and tech expert that helps him find these people. Colter will do any and everything to find these missing people. I'm not saying this is the best show that in tv but it is quite the entertaining show. This is a procedural show that has a new case every week. Justin Hartley absolutely kills it as the lead here and makes the show worth watching. It's the #1 show on tv and currently has a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes so it's liked by both the audience and critics.
