Yes, it's the Columbo revamped, but actress Carrie Preston as well as the supporting cast bring a freshness to this who dunnit.

Thing is, just like in Columbo, we know who dunnit but watching Elsbeth's antics as she convinces tough NYC detectives and other naysayers that she knows what she's doing is delightful.

From her quirky wardrobe to her Midwest openness and naiveté, she is a delight every week. Contrasting her almost childish quality with the tough New Yorkers is a joy to watch.

Seeing her bring down the bad guys and seeing their dismay at being beat by someone who seems so unsophisticated is a joy. I highly recommend this show.

Only worth watching just to laugh at the unbelievable bad acting moments. One actor, and I use the term loosely, actually read his lines. The thing is, he isn't even a good reader! And he didn't do it just once. Many of his lines were read and it seemed he was reading them cold! The acting is laughably bad. The story line is trite. The writing is trite. There were a few actual actors in the movie but not enough. The premise of the movie could have been good but the writers missed the boat. The only good part was the camera work. It was good for what it had to work with. Overall, I won't say don't watch it because it gives you a laugh once in a while when the actor reads his lines from a cue card.

I really wanted to like Tracker. I love the new Reacher series, but Tracker is no Reacher. Justin Hartley is ill cast and does not come across as a tough loner who can save either victims or himself. Hartley seems to have only one facial expression which doesn't help.

Actually, there is nothing to see here. The show is predictable, the plots are formulaic, the action is predictable, and the conclusions are predictable. This leads to something not worth wasting your time watching.

While Justin Hartley is wrongly cast, I don't know if anyone could make this an interesting show because the plots are so weak and predictable.
