Just about everything that worked in Season 1 is back in full force here in Tracker Season 2. Colter’s balancing of his lone wolf personality with his at-a-distance friendships? Check. The secrecy surrounding his past, check. His flirtatious but non-committal back-and-forth with Reenie Greene (Fiona Rene)? Also check. There’s an old adage that says, "If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it," and Tracker has certainly taken that to heart in its second season. This is especially true concerning the basic format of the series, which has effectively remained the same since the pilot.

In many ways, Tracker is a one-man show. Justin Hartley certainly carries the series, both on and off the camera, and proves once again that Colter Shaw is a protagonist worthy of our time. He may be distant and moody, but he’s also charming, thoughtful, and puts himself in the shoes of those he aims to help. The killer Season 2 opener, "Out of the Past," puts Colter to the test as he fights to find a young family caught in the middle of some bad people. But the anxiety-inducing circumstances don’t get to Colter, no matter who he has to beat up along the way. He remains cool and level-headed throughout, only ever losing his professionalism in an unrelated case that remains deeply personal to him (more on that in a moment).

Colter’s journey is fraught with danger and moral dilemmas, as each case reveals deeper layers of conspiracy and human struggle. His growth is palpable, and it’s a testament to Hartley’s portrayal that we’re invested in his character’s journey.

Tracker Season 2 premieres on CBS and Paramount+ on October 13.
