The Tourist - Series 2

Season 1 Review (currently on NF): Criminal thriller series in 8 episodes with a touch of dark comedy and drama about a man Jamie Dornan (of "60 Shades" trilogy) and Danielle Macdonald (as Probationary Constable Helen Chambers in one of the sweetests characters I've ever seen). The chemistry between the two in this series is amazing and cute, bringing some relief to the tense rhythm of the main story that have many bloody sequences and great wide shoots of the Outback. The man is driving in the Australian Outback and suddenly is pursued by a truck (terminator style). After being knocked out of the road by the one he lose all memory and enters in a saga to discover his past. In general lines Dornan character is very good and the series that maintains a thrilling experience till the 5 episode, being a tid bit bit weaker on the last episodes. As a whole, the serie could have ended in the first season that is an all around story. For this, I gave a 8,0 out of 10,0 score / A-. Season 2 Review (on NF from 02-28): 6 episodes in Ireland awaiting, but it is in BBC One rn.

I was excited when I saw it was from the same folks that made _Fleabag_. But this one didn't really deliver. The whole of episode 5 makes the same mistake as many films / shows that represent someone tripping on drugs -- the trip lasts too long. And the standoff in the final episode felt pretty contrived, with a deus ex machina that was truly unsatisfying.
