Slightly confusing

starts Monday 1st. E2 is Tuesday 2nd the 3456 will be on Sundays

The Tourist season 2 will see Jamie Dornan return as Elliot as the story comes to Ireland.

With the action switching from Australia's Outback to Ireland, the landscape looks very different from when we last saw Elliot. But whether he's running away from some mysterious pursuers or covered in blood, his situation doesn't seem to have improved too much!

The Tourist season 2 plot
The first series started with 'The Man' — whose name was revealed to be Elliot — waking up in Australia with total amnesia before he and Constable Helen Chambers (Danielle Macdonald) became embroiled in a cat-and-mouse game with mysterious figures chasing them across Australia.

The BBC has confirmed the new series will see Helen accompanying Elliot back to Ireland as he tries to rediscover his roots, where they soon find themselves dragged into the dangerous whirlwind of his past life. An official synopsis reads...

"After their adventure in the Australian Outback, The Tourist’s epic second series follows Dornan and Macdonald’s characters Elliot and Helen as they travel to Ireland together.

In an attempt to rediscover Elliot’s roots following his memory loss, they’re dragged into the dangerous whirlwind of his past life and are confronted by friends and foes both old and new, including Niamh Cassidy (Olwen Fouéré) and the McDonnell family – Donal (Diarmaid Murtagh), Orla (Nessa Matthews), Fergal (Mark McKenna), and Frank (Francis Magee).
"Detective Ruairi Slater (Conor MacNeill) becomes embroiled in the crossfire between the McDonnells and the Cassidys as the secrets of the family rivalry unravel."

The dodgy guarda man was cuddling a mannequin of some kind ?
It didn't hold my attention much , but lovely scenery and the Mum is a hard nut
I assume that Elliott isn't dead ?

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/01/2024 22:17

Yes he can't be dead @the80sweregreat not in e1 😂

No, I was a tad confused at the end plus most of that scene seemed set in the dark ( and I wasn't paying full attention either ! )
The dodgy guarda seemed to be holding a dummy of some kind, it didn't look that real to me , but I'm usually wrong ! Lol
I hope he doesn't go after Helen though as he seemed struck with her

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2024 08:11

Only reason I'll carry on is to swoon over Jamie Dornan and his lovely accent and maybe the scenery which is stunning
I also like the fact the main lady actress isn't some doe eyed super slim size eight and very intelligent too. She's great , even if the actual plot is a bit confusing so far

chickenpieandchips · 02/01/2024 08:24

I was getting it until the last scene.
Plane woman is one of the drug mules I think. In the recap at the beginning.
Garda man has some double life keeping a 'wife' (is a dummy) in the basement. Probably
Because his mum is ill. That seemed very Dexter to me!
But the ending confused me. She killed someone that obvs wasn't Elliot (that we know of at least!).
And is alive Elliot on an Island?
And how did they get electricity on a cave?
And why Southern Ireland when Elliot has an NI accent?

the80sweregreat · 02/01/2024 08:31

I did enjoy season one set in Australia and I remember it all last year and I was surprised that Elliott turned out to be a baddie as he seemed fairly decent without his memory intact !
This , however, isn't holding my attention as much although how he'll get off that island I've no idea. Does he still have amnesia ? I assume he must do

I assume because gangs operate both sides of the border. Lots of people from NI live in the Republic and vice versa. Dublin is only a 2-hour drive from Belfast.

chickenpieandchips · 02/01/2024 11:53

@biddyboo as long as they don't think we just think Ireland is all the same and everyone knows everyone else.
Am sure it will all be explained!

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/01/2024 16:20

Yes he still has no memory of his self

He was a mean man

I’ve binged the whole thing. It’s bonkers but enjoyable. You may need to push through episode 5 though.

Blondeshavemorefun · 03/01/2024 19:53

I'm Enjoying so far

Maybe a little ott

Right seen end of e2

Talks to self 😂

What is the dna secret - is slater related to one of the family's

I didn't think Elliot Stanley /Cassidy wax look much like him

Why does slater have a few body in his cellar. Is it his mum or wife ?

And if dead and smelling sure maggots will happen soon ?

Helen was brave going into the house alone

For an ex copper she isn't very wary

Ans why didn't she take a pic of the bloody body with knife in eye /writing on wall as proof

DH and I watched it and thought it was utterly daft.
So disappointing after watching Series 1.
@Blondeshavemorefun we really don't have police in Ireland like Ruairi Slater 🙄
They're certainly not all angels but he is just a caricature.
Apparently he has a black hole of emotional damage.
No sht Sherlock.
I hate when tv shows portray the Irish as thick as sh
te.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/01/2024 08:09

I'm enjoying @LadyEloise1

Went to know what the dna secret is

E3 tonight

I’m really enjoying it. Although I did binge a bit last night. Laugh out loud at times.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/01/2024 23:04

Oh that was good

So who is the mum of his son ?

Ans why does the other man/burnt face think he is his

Which means he isn't the grandson of the bearded man(well known actor)

I am so bad with names

Glad they finally got reunited

Wonder if joe the brother got shot in mistake for Eugene /whatever his name is. As looked similar like twins

Omg

I didn't expect that ending 🙀🙀🙀

Hopefully she won't die as that will too Elliot over the edge

Mama Cassidy would make a fab mil

As long as no knives in her reach 😂😂

Not sure how it was sunny and beautiful when they went to meet fergal in the countryside

But 15mins away at Irish school it was pissing down

Who was the female miss Cassidy

Is she his sister or cousin and uncles daughter

But as usual enjoyed

DH and I think we have wasted 4 hours of our lives watching this. ☹️
We'll continue to watch though - sunk costs and all that.
God it's cr*p.
