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
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.
Ideal premise and great lead in Justin Hartley. This could be a great show but it's spoiled every time the Bruin characters appear! Completely kills any tension that might be building. A real shame.
I still enjoy watching purely for Hartley though - he's got such a great screen presence and it's disappointing he's not been given better movie roles. Could big an even bigger star!
Some really well shot locations in this too, a nice change from the usual city settings in most series.
Would like to see more of a thread throughout the season rather than just the self contained episodes, (in addition to the family history, that is).

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.
Tracker is every bit as good as the reviews here have pointed out. It's about a man named Colter Shaw (Justin Hartley) who's dad raised him giving him tools to be a survivalist. He uses those skills and his natural instincts to find missing people and collect rewards. He has team that includes a lawyer, a business handler and tech expert that helps him find these people. Colter will do any and everything to find these missing people. I'm not saying this is the best show that in tv but it is quite the entertaining show. This is a procedural show that has a new case every week. Justin Hartley absolutely kills it as the lead here and makes the show worth watching. It's the #1 show on tv and currently has a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes so it's liked by both the audience and critics.
