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
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,

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.

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.
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.
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.
