Trackers

First saw this series on mnet a few months ago. At first I was sceptical hence I only watched like 20mins and that was it. HBO picked it up so naturally I was intrigued. Damn!! Africa's own blacklist. . Can't wait for more

Good script, good action but the acting was dire. Great twist at the end, in fact several twists throughout. Seems to be left to enable a second series. I hope so because I can forgive the awful acting because the script was so good.

Reminiscent of The Wire but with a different setting and very different cast of characters. Slow paced by today's standards but it allows the actors to actually act rather than running around with lots of jump cuts to make every scene seem hectic, don't get me wrong there is a decent amount of action but its used for effect in the story telling rather then being the main course. If more writers and directors aimed at producing something like this then we would see more exceptional shows rather then the drudge we are currently witnessing. Hopefully sometime soon people will realize that relying purely on spectacle has a diminishing return on investment but good storytelling is eternal.

A good series in an interesting South African Cape Town setting. Racial stereotypes in general are avoided i.e. not all black people are good and not all white people are bad although the Muslim fundamentalists seem to get a bad rap yet again. My criticisms are that the pace needs to be slightly picked up. I would also sincerely doubt whether a South African gangster would speak to the South African police in such a threatening manner I find that very difficult to believe especially regarding South African police. All in all a good series to be recommended; I look forward to finishing it.

Entertaining action series that demonstrates how misinterpretation of data can lead an intelligence agency down the wrong rabbit hole... I like the setting of the show, Cape Town is not a setting often seen in US shows. A short series definitely worth watching.
