Should You Watch 'Tracker,' Justin Hartley's Post-Super Bowl Series?

February 11, 2024 10:36 PM EST

We may be in overtime, but it's also the perfect time to decide if you're going to watch the show CBS is premiering once the game is over: Tracker, a new drama series starring This Is Us alum Justin Hartley as "rewardist" (read: guy who is brilliant at finding missing people — and makes a living earning the rewards offered for their return) Colter Shaw.

According to PEOPLE's critic, Tom Gliatto, "Hartley keeps his performance nicely centered — like a bubble in a spirit level — between a tone of light authority and the occasional furrow-browed hint of inner trouble. In the second episode, which involves a cult and a gun-toting blonde who could have slinked in from Raymond Chandler, Hartley leans a little toward that darker side, and it gives the show some added kick."

Gliatto adds: "It'll be fun watching Shaw solve his weekly cases and earn his moral and financial payoff — but the bigger, sustaining draw will be watching him track the impact of his past on his present."
