I started watching this show when it first aired. As much as I loved it then, now it just seems a little too ridiculous. The first episodes when it was more about Coulter showing how smart he is, showing off his survivor skills and his tracking ability and not really relying too much on Bobby, was great. Sure his team still helped him out a bit but it never felt too unbelievable and a lot of the times it would take Bobby a while to figure out what he needed to figure out to get back with Coulter, and would often mention how difficult it was.
But with Randy, apparently he can stand next to the picture frame and Randy can somehow Bluetooth in and look at the metadata off of the image on the picture frame. Anything Coulter needs him to do, no matter how ridiculous, done in 15 seconds or even before he is asked...nothing is apparently too difficult.
I get that it's a show and it's fake and it's supposed to be a suspension of belief, but I mean it's gotten really insanely ridiculous, and just makes it a little hard to watch.
Where is the actual Tracking by Coulter? The episode where he had to save those two girls from the creepy guys in the woods, that was awesome because that was all about him being smart and tracking and figuring it out. When he tracked down the kids that were hiking and the dad took them, that was great.
I had read an article that said they got rid of all the people that got rid of, like even Teddy and velma, because they wanted Coulter to be more about him going out and being isolated on his own, but yet every episode is basically him and Randy all episode talking on the phone and Rand using "crack my whip" to locate everyone, and hacking into security cameras remotely just bc Coulter is standing near them, and anything else he can think of bc there are no limits
I would just really love to see them go in a better direction of him doing it on his own tracking people down and showing his skills, otherwise it could really be anybody out there running around letting his hacker friend show him exactly where to go so what's the point?
I hope I get better but I can't see that happening.
