Thanks to atmospheric and unsettling sequences, The Tourist is every bit a neo-Western that sprinkles in the manic traits of the Coen Brothers, David Lynch, and Quentin Tarantino films. It might sample some of these filmmakers’ best works, but it’s a series all its own due in part to its enigmatic plots and characters.

We’re not sure if throwing Ethan back into the mix, even if he somehow gets tangled up with the people chasing after Elliot, is the best idea, either. But there’s more than enough good stuff going on in Season 2 to override those concerns, at least for right now.

It is a riot: darkly funny and quirky, with great characterisation and unexpected twists. Though, as with Boat Story, I could do without the violence.

It may not rewrite the book when it comes to TV thrillers, but if you're looking for some perfect New Year's Day fare, you won't come much closer than this. It's bold and unique without being off-putting, and features two magnetic central performances from Dornan and Macdonald.

Even if you struggle to follow exactly who wants what and why they are seeking revenge or a big payout, the show skates by on its charms. The Tourist proves that even if every project has not been able to showcase Dornan’s charms, he certainly has an ample supply at his disposal.

It’s a bit of a rockier road in terms of quality, but there’s an admirable lunacy to the storytelling here that holds it together, throwing in new twists and memorable characters in a manner that’s reminiscent of prime Coen brothers, wherein one never knew what was going to happen next, and it was all darkly humorous at the same time.

The combination of a very sexy protagonist, a slow-burning but believable romance (the chemistry between Dornan and Macdonald is, again, excellent), and stakes that get cranked higher and higher, make this a worthwhile second run. Now it’s no longer a blank slate – an unknown on the schedule – the show is less surprising, but The Tourist’s return home still has the capacity to thrill.

This is about as ridiculous plot wise as a show could get. The first season had a few bits that were a bit unbelievable but this series takes things a whole new level and that is not a good thing.
Some of the characters are just irritating, without spoiling it his mum. Really bad acting and just didnt made me wishing someone would just kill her.
A waste of talent and hopefully not a season 3, even though the ending might suggest there could be one
