Twistier than Jamie Dornan’s own curly locks, The Tourist really does “keep people guessing the whole way,” just like Jamie himself said it would during a recent chat with Digital Spy.What starts out as an intriguing thriller about a man suffering from amnesia soon becomes a far more unique treatise on morality and the cost of losing one’s self entirely. That’s not all though. The Tourist jumps between genres too, scattered like The Man’s erratic thoughts, and in doing so, Jamie Dornan’s new show proves itself to be so much more than just another BBC thriller.Co-star Danielle MacDonald wasn’t kidding when she told us “to expect the unexpected.” But even then, few could have expected that ending in the final moments of episode six.When we first meet Jamie Dornan’s character, all we know is that he’s a bad singer. Thankfully his rendition of ‘Bette Davis Eyes’ is soon cut short when a truck drives him off the road and in the crash that follows, The Man loses his memory, leaving him to try and fend for himself in the Australian Outback without even a name to call his own.A woman named Luci quickly befriends The Man, but by the end of episode one, it becomes clear that she’s not who she seems. Then there’s also Helen, a local traffic cop who soon gets involved with the case.The Tourist Season 1 Download
Together, these three become embroiled in twist after twist until it’s eventually revealed that The Man’s real name is Elliot Stanley. But why are so many people after him? What could he have possibly done to warrant this mad chase?Towards the end, we discover that Elliot worked as an accountant for a drug lord named Kostas, the mysterious figure played by Alex Dimitriades. Elliot went on the run after he fell in love with Kostas’ fiancée, who turns out to be none other than Luci. And that’s not all. The Man formerly known as “The Man” also stole a bag with over £1million stashed inside. The pair were supposed to share this cash, but they kept breaking up.
