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.

With sharp dialogue, clever plotting, and career-best work from Jamie Dornan and Danielle Macdonald, this is a great little thriller, a show that constantly keeps you guessing and entertained in equal measure.

The Tourist hooked us in with its story, plus the performances by Dornan, Macdonald and Brune-Franklin.

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.

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.

Anti-hero narratives are familiar for a reason, and The Tourist keeps them as compelling as ever; even when it treads familiar territory, it’s never a bore.

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.

The definition of mediocrity. An unoriginal premise with a build up that makes the series less intriguing as time goes on. The writing is filled with cliches and the crafts and cinematography were cheap for what one can only imagine must have been a rather expensive production. The acting ensemble was great though and Jamie Dornan is very nice to look at so there's that I guess.

As usual, the hook (the first episode) is suspensful, intriguing and well shot.... while the rest of the show devolved, as with the rest of internet TV these days in a litany of overstretched in nonsensical situations and character motivations, deus ex-machina, pulpy actions scenes etc,,,,And a very unsatisfying wrap-up. Recommmendation: To be watched only in a state of advanced inebration.

pretty exciting, funny, well directed and well written - a pretty solid limited series
