Tracker (2024)

This has all the makings of a good show, just feels a little light on substance.

Just saw that this was renewed for season 2.

Agree on it being a good show.
Agree on it nice having a "one man traveling the country helping people" show again.  I really haven't seen this roadmap used since Kung Fu or The Incredible Hulk (Bill Bixby).  Both of those had a long-term subplot threaded through the individual episodes just like this does.
As for the "one long story" idea... Eh.  Don't we have that enough already?  I like that the individual story is foreground and the long story (what's the deal with his gov't spy/conspiracy parents) is in the background.  That feels more real and natural as a long kept secret is something you find a clue for here and there, in between other parts of your life.

My biggest fear is a long story focus will drive the show into the ground like most long-story plots due.  Every cop show that does it has the big-bad-villain get bigger and badder with every season, to the point of the bad guy being Bond level bad.  I don't want this going the way of Criminal Minds where the agents became the prey, every agent kidnapped at least twice, and so on.

Some get away with a long story focus.  Law & Order Organize Crime for example has that concept baked into the show: You build a big case against organized crime over months of under cover work.  That's part of the actual formula for the agency.  But when shows like Hawaii Five-0 would do that sort of thing in their later seasons it felt like grasping... or gasping for a last breath of life for the show.

Overall a nice easy watch. A little bit PC for my taste's at times.

Dean Winchester is in it, driving what looks like the same car? Wonderful!

I like this show and I love that it's a 22 episode season.

I miss the season 1 premise: Find things for rewards.
It started to loose basic financial reasoning early if someone stopped to consider the cost of him living, him traveling, paying the office girls to track down reward offers etc.  But still every show has 'suspension of reality' so I was okay with that.  But I think the writers thought they were smarter than they were and ran out of ideas fast.
There could/should have been everything from million dollar stud horse stolen, to art from a private home, to a $300k car and so on.  Instead they went down the trope of "star has a deep secret they must uncover, and the people that want to stop it from coming to light".
I'm still watching it but... Now its been religated to 'second string' viewing were we let the entire season stack up while watching the better shows as they come out... then watch the fallback shows in the off season.

This show is fine for a background noise till that "hacker" starts talking

Thank you. I thought it was just me. Phone Phreak my ass. That guy is about as legit as a cure for cancer.
