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
Promising
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.

The second season redeemed the first one
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.

I missed shows like this
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.

Very warm and makes you feel happy
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.
Why does CBS make people stupid?
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 .
