Tracker

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.

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,

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.

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.
