Tracker is a 2024 TV Drama about Colter Shaw, who’s a pro at surviving in the wild and tracking people down. He travels around in his RV, helping cops and regular people solve crimes and find missing people.
Each episode is a new case that tests his skills and changes his life, especially one case that really shakes things up for him. If you found yourself captivated by the gripping cases in the series and are seeking similar shows, here are ten of the best options available.
Person of Interest (2011)
In Person of Interest, a limping billionaire teams up with a his-luck CIA operative, and together, they utilize an advanced AI to predict crimes before they occur. This is something we see in Tom Cruise’s highly successful Minority Report. However, things start to go sideways when the AI begins to take matters into its own hands. It develops its own consciousness and starts doing things its way without thinking of the consequences. The show was a cult classic and also earned the 2012 People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama.
Burn Notice (2007)
Jeffrey Donovan used to be a suave and resourceful spy, but one day, he finds himself burned. He is stripped of his identity and stranded in Miami. With the help of his fiery ex-girlfriend and his quirky friends, who do all sorts of legal and illegal things, Donovan takes on odd jobs as a freelance spy to find the name of the man or woman who betrayed him.
In simple terms, the show is a little bit of MacGyver and a little bit of James Bond.
London Spy (2015)
Ben Whishaw, who is known for his charming and mysterious roles, stars in London Spy, a show that mixes romance with espionage. Whishaw plays the role of an everyday man who is thrust into a world of danger and espionage when his boyfriend vanishes from the face of the Earth.
If you ever wanted a show with a bit of British wit and suspense, then it doesn’t get better than London Spy. Even though it didn’t get any awards, it still captured hearts.
Jack Ryan (2018)
John Krasinski takes on the role of Jack Ryan, who is a CIA analyst thrust into dangerous and stimulating field missions. In Season 1, he uncovers financial ties to terrorism. Season 2 takes him to Venezuela, where he battles a coup and conspiracy in a volatile country. Season 3 amps up the stakes with a nuclear threat in Eastern Europe. The best of the bunch, the finale season sees Ryan as acting CIA deputy director, going against a dangerous drug cartel and a terrorist group.
Condor (2018)
In this series, Max Irons walks the walk of Joe Turner. Joe is a CIA Analyst who one day finds himself at the center of a big conspiracy. Joe’s office is attacked, but he miraculously survives and decides to get to the bottom of the conspiracy. He joins forces with Uncle Bob Partridge and Gabrielle Joubert, but during the course of the investigation, he finds that the enemy might be closer than he thinks.
If you want a heart-pounding thriller that makes you guess the outcome till the credits roll, this one is a must-watch.
Hunted (2015)
Hunted is a British spy drama that features the likes of Melissa George. She takes on the role of Samantha, a spy working for a private intelligence firm. Things get wild when someone tries to kill her, but she survives and starts to suspect someone on her team is playing dirty. To get to the bottom of things, she goes undercover as a nanny.
But that’s not all – we also see Samantha dealing with some heavy stuff from her past that’s tied to what’s happening now.
The Blacklist (2013)
In The Blacklist, James Spader plays Raymond Reddington, a former big-shot in US Naval Intelligence who’s now a top-tier criminal. Suddenly, he turns in a new leaf and decides to surrender himself to the FBI. Not just that, he also offers them to help catch an armada of other dangerous criminals and terrorists, all of which are huge on a list called ‘ The Blacklist.’
The only catch is that Raymond will only work with one specific FBI rookie, Elizabeth Keen, and nobody knows why.
Blindspot (2015)
Blindspot cements its authority with its very first scene. At the start, you’ll see a mysterious woman being discovered in Times Square. She is completely clueless about her own identity and is inked head to toe in tattoos. What’s interesting is that every tattoo on her skin is a clue to a crime that the FBI needs to crack before it is too late.
At the center of it are Kurt Weller and Jane, and on their shoulders falls the burden of cracking the case.
The Triangle (2005)
The next pick on the list is a miniseries that combines both time and mystery. There is a team of ocean explorers and a journalist trying to make sense of the Bermuda Triangle. They read some journals, move a couple of rocks from here to there, and find a time wrap that connects different eras and the rumoured underwater city called Atlantis. But that is not even the best part, as along the way, they also meet historical big-shots, Nazis and even foil a virus outbreak.
The Umbrella Academy (2019)
The Umbrella Academy is hands down the greatest show ever made. It is about a dysfunctional family of adopted siblings with superpowers. They come together to figure out why their dad died and stop the world from going kaput. Each sibling has their own powers, which sometimes also become the reasons for their personal drama.
The show has everything one needs, from violence to addiction to romance to breakups. The biggest plot twist is when they find that one of their sisters, who everyone thought was powerless, actually is super strong.
