Tracker

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.

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,

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.

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.
