Tracker (2024)

Tracker see's a lone wolf style character, track people who have gone astray. Influences of series like Reacher are evident, with a quiet independent, lone wolf, tough guy, who finds and rescues the misguided, lost and the vulnerable. That said, this series lead character is somewhat less selfless than Reacher, as the tracker extracts a finders fee, upon success. What helps this series is the above average character development. The main character fits the dependable, tough guy stereotype but has enough personal charm and a personal story, with enough originality and complexity, to be genuinely interesting and intriguing. Each episode offers a new tale and a back story that slowly unwinds as the series progresses. In and of themselves, the episodic stories could be better. They are not dreadful but they can at times, feel predictable and formulaic. A little more inspiration here, would be nice. As you also might expect too, there's a dash of the usual woke twaddle but thankfully, its dialled down enough, to not be overly irritating. In summary, a worthwhile action thriller series that offers decent character development, an interesting back story and competent episodic adventures, that draw on the "trackers", rather unique set of skills.
