Critics have drawn parallels between The Tourist and the renowned crime series Fargo.
Nevertheless, some viewers argue that the stark Australian landscapes elevate the drama even further. One impressed fan rated the programme eight out of ten stars on IMDB, writing: “The Tourist has a very Fargo feel to it, set in the vast open fields of Australia which makes it the more fascinating.
“Starting out with action and a mystery, this short series has enough eclectic elements to keep you captivated.”
Another added to the chorus of praise, highlighting the many allurements of the drama: “This series checks all the boxes. It’s funny, the plot is exciting, intriguing, and well written. It was heart warming, wonderfully well written, set in beautiful locations and the actors are all extraordinary. I could not stop watching it once I had started. I was hooked from the beginning.”

One viewer confessed their initial hesitation but was pleasantly surprised: “I avoided watching this because I felt I had bigger expectations for it than deserved but it proved me wrong.”
They elaborated on their experience, saying: “It is well executed, you get invested and root for the good of the main character even if it seems disaster follows him for a reason.”
Another fan of suspense chimed in with praise, remarking: “There are plenty of twists and turns; these were neither too obvious nor too silly. There are a few genuinely shocking moments although none are too gory. The cast does a fine job bringing their interesting characters to life,” they added.
