The Big Picture For decades, procedurals have told the stories of first responders, law officers, and lawyers, solving crimes in big cities as only they know how. Franchises like Law & Order, NCIS, and CSI have thrived off these sorts of shows and built television empires that don't look to be going anywhere. But every once in a while, a new take on a familiar formula gets people's attention, and CBS's latest hit drama series Tracker fits the bill perfectly.
Not only does Colter go to places most cop shows won't, but he's surrounded by allies who don't feel like they're overstepping or congesting the space. While some shows can feel too much like a team effort, Colter relies on his faithful friends while doing all the dirty work and heavy lifting himself. Many of the cases involve missing persons, but sometimes that basic idea overlaps with white-collar crime, mountain-based cults, and even murderous drug rings.
Colter Shaw is one of those characters that it's easy to root for but hard to get close to. That's Reenie's experience, anyway. As audience members, we're privy to more information about Colter's past than most, but we still don't have all the facts. Heck, not even Colter seems to have his full life's story figured out.
Graduating from the Longmire school of book-to-screen adaptations rather than a direct adaptation such as Reacher, Tracker is able to tell its own story in its own time. But just because Colter Shaw takes things on a case-by-case basis doesn't mean there aren't elements from the book, such as Colter's mysterious upbringing, that don't find their way into the show.
