Critic’s Ranking: 4.3 / 5.0

Leo Sharf was at all times going to be an issue, and Tracker has been setting us up for it for the reason that minute we met him.
However how he’d get himself, or Reenie, into some hassle was to be decided till Tracker Season 2 Episode 19, when his assistant went lacking, and Colter bought caught up in company retaliation.
Or so he thought.
Nothing is ever because it appears on Tracker, and we’ve heard the identify Sheldon Grimes so many instances that our brains have been programmed to consider he was the one behind Francie’s kidnapping.
It made essentially the most sense on the floor since Leo had unceremoniously ousted Sheldon from the brand new firm, and he did so in a approach that wasn’t precisely good or skilled.
Sheldon wasn’t an excellent individual by all accounts, so did he need to get the boot? Certain! However how Leo went about it could go away anybody feeling some kind of approach.
Francie’s disappearance proper earlier than the launch of a brand new firm felt like a approach for Sheldon to break the corporate he was not part of and make a fast buck off of somebody who betrayed him.
You would inform Leo was a shady character from the soar, however he did appear to have a delicate spot for Francie, even a fleeting one. There was real concern about her well-being, however there was additionally a necessity to make sure this case didn’t mess together with his backside line.
Colter, at all times suspicious, by no means appeared to totally purchase what Leo was saying all through your complete hour. However he may solely react to the knowledge proper in entrance of him.
The race to the place Francie was being held was Tracker at its greatest when the stakes have been the very best, and Colter was racing round attempting to make heads from tails.
When Francie wasn’t on the hangar, it was obvious there was one thing a lot greater than ransom at play. However what?
I’ve been on the file as finally desirous to see Colter and Reenie give themselves an opportunity to see in the event that they could possibly be extra than simply associates, and possibly that’s an unpopular opinion, however I’ve by no means been afraid to state what I really feel!
However this has by no means and can by no means be a present about romance, so I’ll most likely be ready a very long time for one thing like that to occur.
I say all that as a result of I forgot Reenie had a boyfriend!
Poor Elliot looks as if a pleasant man, however in Tracker Land, he’s a cardboard cutout of a personality whose solely goal will likely be to prop up Reenie in some capability on the uncommon events the present remembers he exists. And that’s exactly what he did right here.
Although I have to admit, I believed for a minute or two that Elliot was concerned, however who desires to think about Reenie was about to get performed by the person she preferred? Definitely, not me.
Contemplating Francie had not too long ago been kidnapped, the neatest factor for Leo, Reenie, and Leo would have been to remain collectively since they’d no concept what they have been up towards. And Colter would have insisted Reenie not journey to the corporate constructing had he identified that was the place she was headed.
When Reenie and Elliot break up up, it was fairly rattling clear what was about to occur, although I used to be pleasantly stunned to see that Elliot wasn’t lifeless when Colter finally arrived as a result of this present LOVES to kill individuals.
At this level, all roads led to Sheldon Grimes, and no new data modified anybody’s thoughts. He was a disgruntled man whose life bought blown up, and he wished to actual revenge.
Plus, one thing occurred on that yacht, and the logical conclusion could be that Sheldon took Francie there in some unspecified time in the future as his plan performed out.
However issues took an anticipated twist as soon as Colter was capable of monitor down the car that Reenie was in, and he discovered Francie close by.
Now, one would suppose that Reenie could be a greater bargaining chip than Francie due to what she is aware of and likewise due to her position in what occurred to Sheldon.
Possibly Sheldon figured that his plan wasn’t understanding in addition to he had hoped, after which the revenge gene inside him took maintain. He then determined that he may take Reenie, and if all else failed, at the least he may harm Leo and the one that helped him essentially the most.
It was the appropriate practice of considering for a villain till the items fell into place.
Was anybody else stunned when Reenie got here face-to-face with Sheldon in that dirty basement? He appeared like he had been there for days, or he’d been spiraling on that yacht, and the dangerous guys caught him after an extended whereas of not taking care of himself.
When Sheldon revealed himself, there have been two potentialities: both Leo had truly set this plan in movement, or this was some type of Noticed scenario, and Sheldon actually WAS the one pulling the strings. Then, he would uncuff himself and stroll away from every part to the swell of dramatic music.
You’ve bought to like tv, although, as a result of neither was true! And there was a way more fascinating state of affairs!
Poor Reenie bought kidnapped, a gun pointed at her, and she or he watched a person get killed proper in entrance of her.
You have been most likely considering it needed to be Leo, proper? If not him, then who?
Not often can Tracker actually shock me as a result of although there’s at all times a twist, it’s one you’ll by no means be capable to guess, or it’s pretty apparent.
You couldn’t guess the Francie twist as a result of we didn’t have any of her backstory. Nevertheless, it was nonetheless compelling as a result of we knew sufficient about her character, Leo, and clearly Reenie, for it to return as a genuinely surprising second when Colter and Bobby put every part collectively.
Francie was taking part in the lengthy sport with Leo. She infiltrated his life, gained his belief, and performed him like a fiddle, ready for the proper second to make her transfer.
Like Colter, I didn’t condone what she did, however Leo wasn’t an harmless bystander in all of this.
He made a profession out of dishonest individuals, and he destroyed her household’s life and possibly by no means thought twice about it.
When he was pleading for his life, it rang very false, and it was as a result of when given the chance to return clear when all was stated and executed, he lied once more.
He’s not an excellent individual, however Francie’s actions weren’t it. You would really feel dangerous for what occurred to her household whereas additionally recognizing that her revenge plan put quite a lot of harmless individuals at risk.
Hopefully, this marks the tip of Leo, although it was a bit worrisome that Reenie was nonetheless unable to totally consider he was a foul man.
I really like Reenie’s optimism, however generally I want her to see when the writing is on the wall.
She and Colter are polar opposites in that regard, and it’s like he must let a few of her optimism rub off on him, and she or he must let a few of his pessimism rub off on her.
Outdoors of Reenie’s case, there was a quick interlude to the Shaw household drama, with Dory exhibiting as much as hand over the field of recordsdata we discovered about throughout Tracker Season 1 Episode 13.
Dory’s go to was very short-lived, but it surely did introduce a brand new factor into the story: the concept that Ashton Shaw could have been killed over the analysis he was doing.
Now, when Tracker Season 1 first started, we have been all working beneath the identical assumption as Colter that Russell pushed their dad to his loss of life. However that concept has been debunked.
In the event that they’ve constructed up this thriller to conclude with some random authorities entity setting Ashton as much as die, which is completely one thing the present would do, it is going to be a really disappointing ending to the story.
Hopefully, we’re not headed towards one thing like that, and the present has just a few extra methods up his sleeve, like Mary Dove Shaw.
What position did mommy dearest play in every part? Does Russell know the rest that he hasn’t shared?
I really like Russell Shaw (and hope he comes again quickly!), however Colter spent greater than half his life believing his brother killed his father, and he forgave him so shortly that possibly there are some issues he ignored.
Colter would do smart to heed Dory’s recommendation and never let the contents of that field, together with this now mysterious telephone quantity, take over his entire life. But when Francie’s revenge tour taught him something, it’s that household enterprise will eat you alive if you happen to let it.
And Colter’s let it fester for thus lengthy that he could not cease till he finds the reply he’s after.
Tracker Notes
- No Velma in anyway, and no Randy! Randy-less episodes will begin to really feel actually bizarre as a result of I’ve gotten so used to him.
- Was that bizarre story Elliot informed Reenie in regards to the consumer he bought off finally murdering the girl who tried to get him convicted earlier than purported to make her really feel higher?
- Hopefully, in Tracker Season 3, they are going to give Reenie extra storylines like this that carry over a number of episodes. Every thing culminated in a stable story, making her really feel way more important to the collection and like she existed outdoors of Colter.
