While the series has some minor issues, Tracker is addictively entertaining. A charismatic lead, plenty of adventure, hints at unrevealed secrets, and an appealing supporting cast make this yet another satisfying CBS crime drama.
Tracker works mainly because Justin Hartley doesn’t try to reinvent his acting style to play Colton Shaw. And the show has just enough of a backstory, and quirky side characters, to give viewers reasons to tune in beyond the case-of-the-week stories.
Tracker wants us to believe, with all his family wounds and childhood trauma, that Colter is the most compelling man on earth. In actuality, Colter is bland, dependent, and irritating—meaning Tracker itself is, too.
