## Key points

- Colter’s weekly cases remain the show’s strongest draw.
- Reenie and Mel’s separate storylines lack momentum.
- The article wants supporting characters to play a bigger role.

## Summary

The article argues that *Tracker* needs to give its supporting characters stronger, more engaging stories if it wants to keep them compelling alongside Colter Shaw. The CBS drama’s weekly cases remain its main draw, but the show has struggled to make the characters working away from Colter feel equally important.

Season 4 delayed Reenie Greene, Randy Davis and Mel Day’s move to a Denver office across several episodes, while Reenie and Mel’s murder mystery is described as lacking momentum. The episode “Purification” offered a more promising approach by having Mel help interpret evidence in Colter’s case, but the article questions whether that can sustain the supporting cast’s stories. It also notes that past Reenie subplots have tended to end without a satisfying connection to the wider story.
