Not so lengthy

The Tourist Season 2 is a collection of only 6 episodes. But each episode will give a breathtaking experience, which you won't get over easily. The adventures and action sequences will leave you stuck to the edge of your couch. It was first released on HBO Max, where it garnered immense viewership. Now, it's releasing in India. The Tourist was also one of the most-watched series in the UK last year.

Dark, witty, and romantic side of Jamie Dornan

If you have a certain type of idea about Jamie Dornan after watching 50 Shades of Grey, then we bet you will change your mind. In The Tourist, it seems like this is the first time he has been able to showcase his versatility, other than just being a cheesy guy. Fans of Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar already know how funny he can be, but The Tourist lets him flaunt his dark, witty, and romantic side as well. The series will absolutely make you wonder why he hasn't been cast in any rom-com yet!

Beautiful cinematography

It's definitely hard to take your eyes off Dornan, but we must tell you the scenic view of Australia will leave you speechless. Shot in South Australia, the series beautifully showcases the state's countryside. Adelaide city and a nearby town Peterborough are also shown. Flinders Ranges, South Australia's largest mountain range, also serves as a backdrop.  Although it's a thrilling mystery and people mostly expect to watch dark backgrounds, the beautiful locations add an ethereal vibe.

Mysterious plot

A man wakes up in the middle of Australia’s harsh landscape, and he has no recollection of who he is and how he got there. In a desperate race against time, he must piece together the fragments of his identity, before his unknown past catches up with him.

Mixture of diversity

The Tourist shines bright when it focuses on the adventurous elements, allowing its characters to be quirky and engaging. Romance lovers also might find the show intriguing when it delves into the sentimental backstory of Helen and Elliot's love.
