June already! That means we're almost at the middle of the year and that's worrying. Time is going too quickly and, when we look back, what is there to show for it?
We've been watching a show called The Tourist, an Australian production shown originally on Stan. The main character is Irish and there's a very large American with homicidal tendencies. There are a couple of vaguely Greek crooks and the usual collection of pantomime Aussie characters. A surprising number of the cast are overweight and one scene is of a Weightwatchers' meeting but we can't work our what that has to do with the show.
We thought the first two episodes were a bit weird but, pressing on, it became reasonably interesting. Each episode is quite long and, the second last has fallen back into weird mode. I think it's time to decide that life is too short to watch such rubbish. So, the decision has been made to write off the few hours already invested in it and switch to a show called Granite Harbour, set in Aberdeen. It will have to be a step up, even if some of the accents might be a bit of a challenge.
