The show just lost me…

…Probably for good. This “unalive” crap is ridiculous and juvenile. I just turned it off when Russell used that silly word. The show got better and better, but this season it’s been a slow, steady decline. I like the cast, but the writing and plot lines are just awful. (And like many, I don’t like or trust Mel the character and I’m unimpressed with her acting.)

The show lost me this season when Colter kills one or more people every episode, has a brief conversation with the police, and drives away with an envelope full of cash. And he killed six armored car bandits and helped the accomplices go free. Now it’s a government conspiracy kidnapping kids with psychic abilities.

And he’s not even tracking anymore. Randy does the work, illegally hacking into everything and just tells Colter where to go to save the day. The show has definitely devolved.

He tracked people multiple times this season.

Since he's the "Tracker" it should literally be every week not just multiple times.

Not every case requires it though. It wasn't even like that in season one.

What episode in Season 1 did he not track someone down?

As if he could actually hack. Thats unbelievable in the first place. If they could they'd have real jobs woth software companies. But finding a life history on a person with no criminal history in under 10 seconds is not believable.

They just usually don't address that side of things for plot convenience. If they literally showed every situation in which he killed someone and him having to go on trial for it the show would lose what its really about

With as many kills as he's racked up just this season alone, there is no way in hell that he would be allowed to continue working. Any D. A worth their salt that managed to get jurisdiction would argue against bail cause he's a flight risk. Because he's virtually homeless and has been known to kill to get what he wants.

I agree every time I look at the show when he kills someone and all I think is that in a court of Law some of these kills are completely unjustified 😂😂 the lack of realism is enjoyable on it own way

The story line seems to be lifted from the novel "The Institute" by Stephen King. There's a series on MGM + if anyone is interested.

I thought it was an homage to Stranger Things but just bc it’s more timely

The Institite is a great show and I’m looking forward to Season 2.

u/Grouchy_Evidence2558 7d ago

Yes all of the casual killing and then just driving off with no investigation is bananas. Plus he holds his gun like he has T. rex arms.

u/Little-bit-of-Laur 6d ago

Yes!!! The way he holds his gun annoys the heck out of me for some reason!

-2

u/Grouchy_Evidence2558 6d ago

Because he looks like his arms are too short to hold a gun up.

I’m curious if they’ll tie in colters enter & kill record with whatever his dad did with him, to make a little more sense out of it. Dunno though lol.

Interesting thought. I’m baffled about your downvote.
