The Tourist on Netflix

February 14, 2024, 04:04 PM

Stumbled across this yesterday. Only one episode in, but I think it shows promise. Aussie show, Jamie Dornan has amnesia after a truck runs him off a road in the Outback. Hilarity follows after he checks himself out of the hospital and starts trying to figure out who he is. I'd call it a dramedy.

Oh, and Dewey Crow!!! Like you've (probably) never seen him before!!!

What can I say, I'm a sucker for all things Australian. I blame Elle Macpherson (not that she's in the show, mind you). Her and Mad Max.

I've got about an episode and a half to go. Loving it so far.

I was hooked when I viewed the first few episodes, unfortunately I thought it went down hill after that.

We finished it up last night.

It's not unusual for my wife to ask me, "What's going on here?"

It IS unusual for me to have to admit, "I don't know."

Also, we really didn't care for the ending.

ETA: I just checked, it's set up to run another season at the end of this month...

Not enjoying it so far and disappointed to hear it gets worse. A poor man's Fargo (not so much the movie, the increasingly flawed tv rip off).

I Liked it, although the end left you hanging. I wonder where it'll go in the second season.
Did you notice Kosta pulled out a SIG X5, of which Elliot ended up with in the Cafe.

I'm on episode 5, still liking it. Loved Kosta's concern for the planet.

Ugg - S2 has been an effort to stay interested. I always have an issue with evidence falling from the sky but this one is a doosy. One EP left and I'll be glad when it's over.

Not a good series, at best I'll say it's a body positivist's wet dream.

Finished Episode 5 of Season 1 last night.

This show is quite painful, bordering on terrible.

I finished both seasons recently. I liked it. Weird, yes, and some questionable plot devices...but all in all it was quirky fun.

I highly suggest not even starting to watch it. The first 5 episodes weren’t completely terrible but Episode 6 it really jumps the shark.

The series as a whole is terrible don’t waste your time.
