Just finished The Tourist it's bonkers but funny and somehow works.

Dornan is very good in it!!
I thought he was excellent as the Irish army sergeant in the Siege of Jadotville  but wasn't his Nordie accent just too corny and forced in the Tourist?

I found it/him cringey at times but still enjoyable overall.

The big assassin flew the helicopter in Walter Mitty and the tasty love interest was in Line of Duty. Swear to God im gettin worse...

Is Jadotville on any streaming service?

Good to see Dornan using his normal accent, one of the few actors from the north who has an accent that sounds good on TV.  Think he spoke normally in Robin Hood too.  Mad that the show tried to pander to the woke generation with the potential romance in the show, bit of a joke.

He certainly didn't hide his Norn Ironisms that's for sure.

The story got a bit stretched at times on the believability front but it was quirky and fun at the same time so I'd say all in it's a good watch.

I think it's widely available on Netflix, though I have never darkened Netflix's doors. I prefer a torrent to a stream.

One for Succession fans:

So, on the basis of rave reviews here and elsewhere, I've started watching this.  I'm 7 episodes into the first season and struggling to see what the fuss is all about.   Is it one of those shows that gets better after a slow start, or have I seen enough now to conclude that it's just not going to work for me?

Same here! Watched first 3 episodes of season 1 and have gave up

I've tried 3 times now to get past episode 3 of succession and can't do it. The characters are just too unilaterally vile.

I don't mind a show full of vile characters.  That's not the issue for me, at any rate.  It's just (so far at least) not that interesting.
