The Independent Ed Cumming

Feb 14, 2022

Season 1 Review: The Tourist, directed by Chris Sweeney (and Daniel Nettheim for the final three episodes), knows how to play the quiet scenes alongside the crash and bang. ... The Tourist might be his [Jamie Dornan's] best work yet. He takes advantage of a script that lets him stretch his metaphorical muscles as well as the more literal ones, abundant as they are.

Season 1 Review: As an Irish amnesiac eluding a cabal of killers in the Australian outback, Jamie Dornan is so good you’ll follow him anywhere, which is what gives this relentlessly funny, ferocious, thrill-a-minute series the staying power to haunt your dreams. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The Tourist season two is dazzlingly entertaining and impossible to switch off once you get started, despite the tension headaches it may spark among its more logically minded viewers. Read full review

Season 1 Review: An unpredictable, edge-of-your-seat mystery that startles you with laugh-out-loud moments of ridiculousness, The Tourist is The Bourne Identity meets Priscilla Queen of the Desert with elements of Monty Python – an unusual thriller in which Dornan shines. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s well worth watching this fun, stylish and confident caper, which clearly still has numerous twists up its sleeve and characters to play with. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s only when the show makes its grand breakthrough in the final third that “The Tourist” gets a much needed influx of energy. Still, it’s another example of something in this show that feels like it should work in the abstract, but in practice simply feels like slapping on an extra layer without properly seeding that spirit throughout.

On his quest to find the truth, things quickly veer out of control. This has echoes of the Coen Brothers, namely Fargo: It's stylishly shot without being arty, the tension ebbs and flows, the violence is solidly staged and there are eccentric characterd, esp. Danielle Macdonald as the wanna-be detective who's channeling Merritt Wever's endearing bumbling style. Dornan is constantly compelling as he navigates the confusion and frustration (not to mention his ever-present bulging biceps). The narrative continues to surprise and the direction is always assured, creating an imminently watchable crime mystery that will grab your rapt attention from the beginning. (Review based on the first 3 of 6 one-hour episodes)… Expand

But shows are not supposed to be rated based on the pilot episode, but on the overall quality of the season as a whole. The first two episodes were very good, which makes the disappointment that much greater when the show begins its decline in episode 3. I was hoping the fourth, fifth and sixth episodes would somehow Hail Mary to make up for the outrageously, unrealistic scenarios, cosmetic plot additions and trying-too-hard-to-be-edgy character arcs, but they did not. It only got worse. I couldn’t even get myself to watch the last 10 minutes of the last episode because it was that painful to get through. Overall, this show is more like a 61, maybe 62.… Expand

Absolutely unwatchable Australian trash. Think of it as 'Fargo' gone very wrong.
