Jamie Dornan gained his version of agent Jason Bourne with the series The Tourist. Launched successfully two years ago, the rest of the world had to wait for it to arrive on Netflix in early 2024, which gave the chance to amend the two seasons when the second was released in February. If you liked the first one, you’ll be ok with the second one. Let’s get to it.

In the first part of the story, we meet an Irishman “Elliot” (Dornan) being chased in the Australian desert and waking up with no memory in a hospital. Many people want him dead, but he doesn’t know why. Only police officer Helen Chambers (Danielle Macdonald) helps him.

A thousand twists later, he and Helen are dating and trying to figure out who he is. That’s why they’re in Ireland. But their relationship with Elliot’s past is divisive – for different reasons – which brings a novelistic side to the series, with multiple twists and turns.

There are fun moments, there are dragging moments, and there is undeniable belly fat. The rainy and green setting is the opposite of the aridity of the first part of the story, but it advances little. Yes, we discovered several things about Elliot – who is not “Elliot” – but nothing that changes the fact that he does not recover his memory and that interferes with his present. We laughed and felt tense, but in terms of narrative, we made little progress.

In his “natural” accent, Jamie Dornan is at ease and a great leader of the cast, with charisma, humor, and drama in the right proportions. There are endless twists and turns and openings for new future seasons. Do we want to follow? It has worked!
