Tracker

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.

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.

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.

Tracker S3E4

If you're in a hotel room and someone knocks in your door and you ask who they are, they don't identify themselves. You walk up to the door you ask again and they don't identify themselves, you don't look through the peephole but you open up the door, not knowing who it is. Who in their right minds would do something that stupid? If someone knocks even on my home door and I ask who it is, and they can't give me an answer, there's no way in the world I am unlocking my door. So why in God's name does CBS continuously make people out to be morons in order to advance the plot of their shows. Surely their writers can do a better job of coming up with a way of abducting somebody then turning that person into an idiot .

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.
