For the past few years we have been fortunate to be in a new golden age of Television or "peak TV" where we had a bounty of terrific new content. As with all ages this one has come to an end and a show like "Trackers" is the proof. Set in South Africa with bare bones production values Trackers is a laughable attempt to cash in on the Jack Ryan genre. The acting is uneven ranging from competent to amateurish. The pilot script was boring and mediocre with every cliche in the book, but the biggest sin of this community theater tv show was the directing -- which was a surprise because the director, Jyri Kähönen's credits include the excellent Finnish series Bordertown. Maybe the low budget didn't allow him to correct the most basic mistakes: Like an actor, who is supposed to be walking away from a bad job interview anticipates her cue and stops before she is called back. Skip this dog. There are much better shows out there for you to enjoy.
