Movie Reviews

Tv/streaming, collections, chaz's journal, great movies, contributors, the tourist.

HBO Max continues stealth drops of some of the best drama mini-series on television. Last year highlights included “The Head” and “ Station Eleven ,” and they start 2022 strongly with the fantastic “The Tourist,” a twisty tale that plays like an Aussie version of “ Fargo .” With sharp dialogue, clever plotting, and career-best work from Jamie Dornan and Danielle Macdonald , this is a great little thriller, a show that constantly keeps you guessing and entertained in equal measure.

The “ Belfast ” and “ Fifty Shades of Grey ” star plays an unnamed man (at least for a while) who is driving through the very remote Australian outback. He stops at a station to use the bathroom, banters with the guy behind the counter, and hits the road again. Looking in the rearview mirror, he sees a truck gaining on him with remarkable speed. The Man twists off the road to avoid it and the trucker follows, revealing through a POV from his cab that this is very intentional—he’s trying to kill this tourist. They race through the desert until The Man’s car crashes. He wakes up in a hospital with no memory of who he is or how he got there.

Enter a small-town officer named Helen Chambers (Macdonald), engaged to an awful man named Ethan ( Greg Larsen ) and thrust into a mystery about who this handsome Irishman is in a hospital bed. When The Man finds a note with a time and a location in his pocket, he heads to a small town called Burnt Ridge, where he meets a woman named Luci ( Shalom Brune-Franklin ) who might know about his past, ends up crossing paths with a sociopath ( Ólafur Darri Ólafsson ) who clearly wants him dead, and gets a phone call from a man who’s been buried underground. And then things get even weirder.

Created by the people behind the excellent “ The Missing ” (which aired stateside on Starz), the writing on “The Tourist” is a metronomic back and forth between reveals and how those reveals propel the narrative in a new direction. Pushing their way through all the chaos are Dornan and Macdonald, both phenomenal. Dornan finds a quirky, unsettled way to play a man who doesn’t know who he is without resorting to the cliché of the lost soul. If anything, he leans into more of a blank slate interpretation of amnesia, playing a guy who’s more open to what comes next because he can’t remember what came before. And Macdonald is charming and so incredibly likable that she becomes the heart of a show that can be cold at times.

Echoes of “ Memento ” and “Fargo” aside, “The Tourist” also has its own quirky personality. Some of those quirks get a bit extreme in late-season episodes in ways I can’t spoil, but the show is never boring. It’s a reminder that the Dornan who was so great in “ The Fall ” is still out there, and I hope it leads him to more bizarre, challenging roles like this one. There’s an argument to be made that there’s an even-better 100-minute movie in this six-episode mini-series, but that’s not the world we’re in right now. A story like this has a better chance to be told in the TV system than the mid-budget film one, and the writers don’t drag their feet or spin their wheels like so many streaming thrillers. They’re constantly moving our hero forward, keeping us uncertain about his past and even his moral center.

Some will argue that “The Tourist” gets too convoluted and I’ll admit that I enjoyed the playful uncertainty of the first half of the season more than the intensity of the second half. Although the show does get deeper in how it unpacks lies we tell ourselves and those we listen to from other people. It turns out that everyone on "The Tourist" has a secret or two, and almost all of them could use a car accident to reset the hole they've dug for themselves.

I'm not sure how intentional it is but the show never stopped reminding me of some of my favorite early Coen films—the noir danger of “ Blood Simple ,” the open roads of “ Raising Arizona ” (and a bearded hunter who seems unkillable), Macdonald’s very Marge Gunderson character—and yet these nods to greats are embedded in a breakneck plot that never slows down enough to distract from its own inspired storytelling. Take the trip.

'The Tourist' doesn't know who he is — just that someone wants him dead

John Powers

In The Tourist, "The Man" (Jamie Dornan) wakes up in a small town hospital in the Australian outback with no idea who he is or how he got there. HBO hide caption

In The Tourist, "The Man" (Jamie Dornan) wakes up in a small town hospital in the Australian outback with no idea who he is or how he got there.

Ever since the birth of mass communications, our culture has been haunted by the idea of amnesia. In high-class books by the likes of George Orwell or Milan Kundera , forgetting becomes a political metaphor for the erasure of truth. Things are less ambitious in pop entertainments like Memento or the Jason Bourne series . There, memory-loss is less a metaphor than a motor — a gimmick to drive the story forward.

This motor purrs like a Ferrari in The Tourist , a hit BBC series playing on HBO Max. Written by the Williams brothers, Harry and Jack — best known here for The Missing and Baptiste — this funny, suspenseful six-part thriller doesn't merely keep us guessing. It keeps its amnesiac hero guessing, too. He knows even less about his own story than we do.

A bearded, muscled-up Jamie Dornan stars as a T-shirt clad Irishman who gets in a car accident and winds up in a small town hospital in the Australian outback. Known simply as "The Man," he doesn't know who he is or how he got there. But soon after he leaves the hospital, he knows one thing for sure: Somebody wants to kill him.

As he seeks to find out who's after him and why, he's helped by two very different women. Luci (Shalom Brune-Franklin) is a waitress who we aren't quite sure what to make of. In contrast, it's easy to trust probationary constable Helen Chambers, played by Danielle Macdonald. Helen's a newbie cop who struggles with her weight and with a fiancé who speaks of her appearance with such passive-aggressive meanness that I kept hoping he'd become one of the show's murder victims.

While The Man's search for his identity is grippingly plotted, the show lets the action breathe. It takes time to enjoy his encounters with a wide range of oddball types, be it a goofy chess-playing pilot, a Greek mobster, the affably nutty woman who offers him lodging, or the enormous, cowboy-hatted hitman who has the self-satisfied theatricality of an escapee from a Tarantino movie. That said, The Man knows he must keep moving to stay alive.

For all The Tourist 's inventiveness — Episode 5 is a trip — it reminds us that even good pop culture is often derivative. The show's opening car crash sequence mimics the Steven Spielberg movie Duel . More importantly, the Williams brothers are pretty clearly doing a Down Under riff on Fargo . Their series offers the same blend of violence and barbed humor, the same mythologizing of bleak, underpopulated places, and the same cavalcade of viciousness and folly that brings out the heroism in an ordinary person.

The show's moral center is Helen, who, in Macdonald's sensational performance, has our sympathy from the get-go. Her work is so scene-stealingly good that I would call this a career-making performance if I hadn't already said this about Macdonald's electric work as an aspiring New Jersey rapper in the indie film Patti Cake$ .

Helen's transparent goodness makes her the perfect counterpoint to The Man, a handsome hunk who's a mystery, even to himself. It's a great role for Dornan, who, earlier in his career, had a slightly synthetic prettiness that made him ideal for creepy characters like the S&M billionaire in Fifty Shades of Grey . Here, he's a bit older, thicker, and rougher. And just as Brad Pitt often seems liberated when his good looks are masked a bit, Dornan gives his best performance as a man who isn't sure whether or not he's the hero of his own life.

Over the course of the six episodes, The Man struggles to learn whether, back before his accident, he was a good guy or a bad guy. And if he had been a villain, does he have to stay one, even after he starts remembering his past? I won't reveal what he discovers, though I feel obligated to say that you won't get a definitive answer this season. You'll have to watch Season 2 of The Tourist , not yet made, which I bet you will be more than happy to do.

Content bloat on cable and streaming is such an apparently incurable epidemic that even shows that play as lean and mean genre exercises are stuck oozing outside of their deserved boundaries — as if once there’s no marketplace for an idea to be conveyed at 90 minutes, might as well just go forever.

Something like Netflix’s True Story , which would have been an arthouse hit as a brisk John Dahl-directed theatrical thriller, instead became an instantly forgotten Netflix series, because that’s how it could get produced. Significantly better on every level, but still in need of a robust trim, is HBO Max ‘s The Tourist . Ideally, this would have been an Outback-set B-movie probably helmed by somebody like Phillip Noyce. Instead, it arrives on streaming as a six-hour drama replete with illogical misdirects, a second half that’s far less engaging than the first and a disappointing assortment of false conclusions.

Jamie Dornan’s turn in The Tourist will make you forget about Christian Grey

With the belfast star in the driver’s seat, hbo max’s six-part series piles on the twists, turns, and the occasional acid trip.

It takes a big person to admit that they were wrong, which makes it so hard for an actor to shift the established opinion of them within the culture and critical establishment. It seems that HBO’s The Tourist may just do something truly Herculean, and make all the Jamie Dornan naysayers admit he’s actually a pretty good actor.

Not that people were without reason to doubt Dornan’s talents. When he first came to international attention, it was as Christian Grey, a kinky but bland billionaire in the 50 Shades trilog y. Those films were never considered high art, but have aged like warm milk, along with Dornan’s comments that he researched his role as the serial killer in The Fall by stalking unsuspecting women. But credit where it’s due—Dornan now joins the ranks of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and former co-star Dakota Johnson as a person who made interesting choices after their franchise ended and looks to become one of our credible millennial actors. The actor delighted audiences in recent hits like Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar and Belfast .

This six-episode HBO Max series starts with one of the great tropes of melodramas—total amnesia befalls a handsome stranger after a terrible car crash, leaving him unable to remember so much as his own name. A kindly rookie police officer named Helen (Danielle Macdonald) takes pity on him and hopes to help him recover some, if not all, of his memories. Armed with nothing more than a note with a restaurant name and a time, the man sets out on his quest to figure out who he is and what he is doing in the remote Australian outback. To say much more would spoil much of the fun, and boy, is The Tourist fun. Some of the early twists follow may well-worn paths, but there’s no way to predict the roller-coaster ride ahead.

Macdonald gets to use her native Australian accent to play a character with parallels to Fargo ’s beloved Marge Gunderson, a folksy moral compass whose instincts prove invaluable. But where Marge was a well-respected detective in a loving marriage, Helen can only dream of the same. She is undermined both professionally and personally. One of the most enjoyable supporting characters is her spectacularly awful fiancé Ethan (Greg Larsen), who shames her for eating burgers, complains about her desire for high thread-count sheets, and labels her ambition as “delusions of grandeur” (which he repeatedly mispronounces). Even in a world of abundant brutality, it’s not hard to want a little more of it pointed in Ethan’s direction. It’s a credit to Larsen’s performance that he creates a man so intolerable, it’s worth continuing watching just for Helen’s inevitable realization that she’s far too good for him.

Though a good breakup is reason enough to stay engaged, The Tourist also does great cinematic work in its action sequences. We open with the amnesia-causing incident, where Dornan, driving alone in a dusty compact car through the Outback, singing along to Kim Carnes’ “Bette Davis Eyes,” is pursued by a giant truck. At first, it seems like he’s just come across an asshole driver, but the moment it clicks that this is a many-wheeled high-speed weapon is utterly terrifying. The chase feels more horror film than TV action sequence, a tone that runs throughout the many moments of violence The Tourist puts on screen. Every crunch of bone, severed artery, and choke of breath feels visceral and impressively horrific. Much like Fargo , part of the fun of The Tourist is breaking up humorous moments among sweet local eccentrics with breathtaking cruelty. And those tonal shifts are expertly employed by the supporting cast, particularly Shalom Brune-Franklin, Damon Herriman, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, and Alex Dimitriades, who pack all the intrigue of film noir alongside some great humor and convincing derangement.

Twists aside, The Tourist lags in the middle act, but is buoyed by a distinctly adult tone—there’s a gameness to it that makes the scary, horny, and darkly comic elements work well in tandem. Each twist (and they’re deployed every 15 minutes or so) beyond the second episode lands with full weight, particularly in the final episode where Dornan’s acting chops reach their apex.

It’s hard to imagine that The Tourist will have a seismic impact—the era of excellent television is a thankfully crowded one, and little here breaks new ground. But it’s an absolute hoot to travel down the series’ dusty Australian roads, taking in the trippy, almost Lynchian tangents through fractured minds and broken memories. Anti-hero narratives are familiar for a reason, and The Tourist keeps them as compelling as ever; even when it treads familiar territory, it’s never a bore. The paradigm of TV thrillers may not be shifted, but many people’s perceptions of Jamie Dornan will never be the same.

Review: 'The Tourist' is a ferocious thriller that relentlessly keeps you hanging on

Talk about a binge watch!

Jamie Dornan in a scene from "The Tourist."

Talk about a binge watch! “The Tourist,” on HBO Max in a blast of six, one-hour episodes, is a ferocious thriller that’s also ferociously funny. Starring Jamie Dornan as an Irishman suffering amnesia in the Australian outback, the series is—to recoin a phrase—must-see TV.

The plot kicks in hard in Episode 1 as Dornan drives down a dusty road with a monster truck on his tail. Waking up battered and bruised in a hospital, he can’t even remember his name. Known only as “The Man” until the end of Episode 2, The Man—like Guy Pearce in “Memento”— must put together the puzzle of his life with crucial pieces missing.

“The Tourist” relentlessly keeps you hanging on. In the book world, they’d call it unputdownable. Each episode of the script by Jack and Harry Williams (“The Missing”) ends in a cliffhanger that whips you into the next episode. Forget about sleep.

It’s clear that Chris Sweeney (who directed episodes one to three) and Daniel Nettheim (who helmed the other half) have seen a lot of Coen brothers movies, especially “Fargo” and “Raising Arizona” with their deliciously deadpan blend of mirth and menace. If you’re going to borrow inspiration, why not swipe from the best.

And Dornan, free from the cartoonish excess of the “Fifty Shades of Gray” trilogy, carries the whole thing with his starshine and burgeoning talent as an actor in “The Fall” and “Belfast.” Dornan is so good, you’ll follow him anywhere, which is just what “The Tourist” needs.

Dornan finds a perfect partner in Aussie dynamo Danielle Macdonald as Helen Chambers, a traffic cop with ambitions to rise in the ranks. The sweetness of Macdonald’s funny, touching and vital performance brings a nurturing humanity to the evil-doings surrounding her.

Can the diet-obsessed Helen, stuck with a controlling fiancée (Greg Larsen), discover herself by helping The Man recover his memory? Their attraction, repped by a burrito emoji, brings heart to a series that aims to blow the doors off with shocks and exploding violence.

For instance, there’s the dude who keeps calling The Man while buried alive in a secret grave? And why does the detective inspector, played to the hilt by Damon Herriman, seem less reliable than the gangsters and drug dealers who occupy the periphery of the episodes?

MORE: Review: 'The Tender Bar' deals a winning hand

Truly terrifying is the best way to describe Ólafur Darri Ólafsson as Billy, the hulking American cowboy who drove The Man off the road and yet keeps comparing everyone he meets to his beloved mother. The scene between Billy and Helen will have you biting your nails to the quick.

And what of Shalom Brune-Franklin (“Line of Duty”) as Luci, the flirt who meets The Man at a diner that explodes minutes after they leave it. Luci volunteers to help The Man chase down his past. Or is she hiding something. Hint: Everyone in “The Tourist” is hiding something.

There’s no way I’ll spoil the fun by telling you who’s hiding what. Packed with high-voltage suspense and twists you don’t see coming, “The Tourist” also poses tangled questions about the nature of identify. You can tell The Man is afraid of what he might learn about himself.

Put yourself in his place, which is exactly what “The Tourist” wants you do. It’s one of the reasons this thrill-a-minute series has the staying power to haunt your dreams. The final episode is open-ended enough to suggest there might be a Season 2. Count me in.

The Tourist season 2: US release date, cast, plot and more

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

Jamie Dornan fans will be delighted that The Tourist season 2 is finally here, with the whole series now available to watch on BBC iPlayer in the UK and Netflix in the US.

The Tourist season 2 episode 1 The Tourist season 2 episode 2 The Tourist season 2 episode 3 The Tourist season 2 episode 4 The Tourist season 2 episode 5 The Tourist season 2 ending explained The Tourist season 3 ▶ Watch The Tourist season 2 online

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!

Teasing the new series, Jamie says: "For the second series we pick up with Elliot in Ireland where he tries to discover his real family and get some answers on who he is. Whilst Elliot is in Ireland, he also gets caught up in all kinds of craziness with people trying to kill him."

He adds: "Family is a big theme in this series. We're dealing with a guy who has no concept of who he is, and you can only imagine how terrifying that is, but little by little there are these kernels of information revealed to him and he starts to piece his history together and his family history. It's not that pretty, but it's vital and it's a big part of our story."

Screenwriters Jack and Harry Williams — whose previous screenwriting hits include The Missing and One of Us — have penned the scripts of the follow-up series.

The Tourist season 1 was a big hit when it launched on BBC One and the iPlayer last January, with 12 million people watching it in the first 30 days it was available online. It then went on to have similar success on HBO for US fans. Here's everything we know about season 2...

The Tourist season 1 was broadcast on HBO Max in the United States, but it has moved to Netflix for the second season, with all the episodes available to stream from 29 February 2024.

Georgie & Mandy's Spinoff Keeps 1 Thing Young Sheldon Did Better Than The Big Bang Theory

Cancelled abc sitcom spinoff gets new details from star after scrapped pilot episode: "it was a really good show", stranger things season 5 is finally fulfilling my biggest character duo wish after 8 years (it's about time).

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for The Tourist .

Jamie Dornan opens up about the shocking ending of The Tourist . Created by Harry and Jack Williams, The Tourist centers on The Man (played by Dornan) who wakes up in a hospital with zero memory of who he is and how he got there. Spending the first of six episodes in a state of utter uncertainty, Dornan’s protagonist is helped along by Helen Chamber (Danielle Macdonald) , and the traffic cop helps The Man uncover the details behind the horrific car crash that led to his amnesia.

By the finale of the Australian-set series, it’s revealed that The Man is a drug smuggler named Elliot. Confronted by Lena Pascal (Victoria Haralabidou), a woman Elliot consistently has visions of, it becomes clear that Elliot’s actions in smuggling heroin inside people’s bodies led to the painful death of two women. It also led to Lena’s disfigurement, all of which she details in a searing monologue that makes plain how awful Elliot was before the crash and why someone would want him dead. This leads Elliot to the same conclusion, too, as he attempts to take his own life.

Speaking with EW to promote The Tourist , which is currently streaming on HBO Max , Dornan opened up about how difficult it was to film that reveal. The actor admits that it broke him, detailing how uncomfortable and uneasy it made him feel. Dornan’s quote is included below.

“It was crazy, that. So much of this character and this performance for me is, like any performance, you’re trying to stay present, but never more so than when everything is information that you’ve never heard before, particularly if it’s awful information, like that scene. I felt very raw in that moment, I felt very exposed, and vulnerable and kind of awful and terrible about myself. She was doing such beautiful work in front of me and it was having the impact that I felt that it should have. Sometimes you get yourself in a place where you feel so broken that you can’t actually stop crying. [Laughs] I felt a bit like that that day in a good way, I guess. I felt very exposed, very vulnerable. You know, it’s hard stuff to hear, the hardest stuff to hear, so a lot of that luckily was on the page for me in terms of the writing. But, yeah, not an easy day, that.”

Dornan, who goes on to mention that there have been conversations about a possible second season, previously spoke about how The Tourist was his most difficult role because he didn’t know anything about The Man. To go from there, only to learn of the banal evil of this protagonist had to have been as much a punch in the gut for Dornan as it was for the audience. For most of the HBO Max drama, Elliot is positioned as a good guy. Gruff, sure, and certainly flawed, but ultimately the hero of the story alongside Helen. It’s a difficult last-minute switch that Dornan sells perfectly.

Still, even though the reveal leads the audience down a dark path, it ends with hope. It’s heavily implied that Elliot survives his suicide attempt and begins a relationship with Helen. Perhaps, it suggests, in the long-run, that the memory loss provides Elliot with a chance to be a new person. It also opens the door for The Tourist season 2. And maybe, given that many viewers and critics enjoyed the lighter and more experimental aspects of the series, a second outing won’t have quite as bleak a twist.

HBO Max's 'The Tourist' Is an Intensely-Wild Thriller of Twists and Turns You Cannot Miss (Review)

By Tania Hussain - March 2, 2022 05:42 pm EST

Since first launching last spring, HBO Max has released one of the deeper catalogs among its streaming competitors with programming from the HBO vaults, Warner Brothers, TCM, Criterion, and Studio Ghibli. But as great as the roster is for audiences hungry for movies and shows at their fingertips, it's their Max Originals that are setting up the streamer as a unique and brilliant offering for voracious watchers. The latest series to drop on HBO Max is its intensely gripping six-episode limited series The Tourist , which you cannot miss when it premieres Thursday, March 3. The stylish, dark comedy thriller is one of the best this season as it will keep you guessing until the shocking ending.

Earning a perfect 100% freshness score on Rotten Tomatoes following its overseas debut this past winter, The Tourist doesn't waste any time with this high-octane series from Two Brothers Pictures' Harry and Jack Williams ( The Missing ). Reminiscent of Joel and Ethan Coen films like Blood Simple , Raising Arizona , Fargo and No Country for Old Men , the neo-Western is one of 2022's best new series for audiences and one to revisit because there is so much more to see and discover, especially after watching it.

Starring Jamie Dornan in a role that will make you forget Christian Grey , the HBO Max series kicks off with an intense, nail-biting car chase — well, more like an 18-wheeler truck chasing down a sedan in the barren outback. Keeping you on the edge of your seat from that very moment, The Tourist springs into action after the driver of the sedan (played by Dornan) is flung off the road by an intimidating, sinister whistling truck driver (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson) from the Deep South. Waking up in a hospital with no memory of who he is and just a piece of paper in his pocket to retrace his steps, the victim known simply as "The Man" must piece together his past to find out who wants him dead. With the help of the very transparently kind, rookie Constable Helen Chambers — an anxious traffic cop played by Danielle Macdonald — the two embark on a wild journey, including a strange phone call from a man buried underground. Safe to say, things get a lot weirder.

But to share any more details about The Tourist and all the twists and turns The Man encounters would most definitely spoil the fun and honestly, this show is the most fun audiences might have had in months when it comes to streaming programming. Taking audiences on a legit rollercoaster from the first episode to the very last, the series might spark predictions for watchers amid the series' natural progression. Still, they will not be one bit close to the conclusion. Not to mention, it is very ambiguous and open-ended, so there could very well be a possibility of more to come if the creators and cast are on board.

Written and executive produced by Jack and Harry Williams, the creators have written a ton of thrillers over the years for British TV between The Missing and Baptiste , but The Tourist is one that feels structurally, tonally and cinematically different . Brimming with themes of identity and working out who you are, The Tourist is a very self-assured series that is equally appealing because of its resonance with our daily struggles surrounding individuality. Crafted with a real sense of distinction and accuracy thanks to directors Chris Sweeney and Daniel Nettheim, the show is an impressive piece of TV that plays to both the thriller genre and dark comedy side of writing with authentic and honest dialogue that often borders humorous. There is so much to love with The Tourist , especially through its well-drawn-out and wildly eccentric characters with their quirks and charms. Dornan, who leads the cast, is immaculate in this role and makes great use of his diverse range of acting credits as he plays this broken-down man. He manages to blend every emotion The Man experiences so eloquently through his expressions and words, and you can most definitely feel that through the screen. Starring as a blank-slate guy bordering complexities of confusion, frustration, cynicism, sarcasm, and anger, the performance sits high among his other acclaimed roles, as seen in The Fall or Belfast . Moreover, his acting talent hits a new level of awesome as he balances the character's nuanced tone flawlessly while rising to the more humorous directions the writing calls for versus the bold, contemplative, wide-eyed panic, particularly with the final episode where we see his character at the forefront of a newly discovered life.

As for Macdonald, the infectiously likable Australian actress has such a delightful on-screen presence as she helps make the darker tones a lot brighter with her genuine warmth. Feeling a lot like a compass for The Man, Macdonald's Helen is no doubt the heart of the show as her kindness is admirable and one that feels real as she looks for a connection amid a very toxic relationship with her fiancé Ethan (Greg Larsen). The newbie cop struggles with her weight and appearance but finds herself in top form while on the job, helping others — especially The Man. With all her quirks and a keen eye for details, Macdonald's portrayal of Helen also has some big Marge Gundersen a la Fargo energy.

But it's the growing friendship between Helen and The Man that plays beautifully to the show's drama too. Macdonald and Dornan have incredible chemistry and a charm that makes their dynamic really easy to watch and want to see more of. Whereas the Irish actor can play dark and broody, Macdonald is chipper and bubbly with her naiveté, balancing his character's aggravation well. The two are supported most amazingly by Shalom Brune-Franklin, who plays a mysterious waitress eager to help The Man; Ólafur Darri Ólafsson who plays the American — a character reminiscent of Leonard Smalls in Raising Arizona ; and, Damon Herriman of Justified , who plays a detective intrigued by The Man.

The Tourist is a welcome and necessary binge this season, and so much fun. It never slows down nor has a moment in between the six episodes that will have you turning to your phone for the occasional check-in. It is most earnestly and effectively, an edge-of-your-seat, nail-biting thriller that will keep you glued every minute with its twists and turns. The unpredictable, dark comedy is interesting and quirky, and just an overall breath of fresh air as it's produced and performed exceptionally well. Accentuating themes of antiheroes and identity all wrapped into six compelling hours, The Tourist might tread the familiar ground with some Coen brothers sentiments, but it is uniquely a product all its own thanks to Dornan for a massively entertaining ride.

The Tourist stars Jamie Dornan, Danielle Macdonald, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Alex Dimitriades, Damon Herriman and Genevieve Lemon. The Tourist begins streaming Thursday, March 3 on HBO Max . For more on The Tourist, Jamie Dornan, Danielle Macdonald and all your HBO Max programming, stick to PopCulture.com for the latest.

After learning some hard home truths about our amnesiac anti-hero, did Elliott manage to balance the karmic scales this season? No spoilers here of course, but we can say that season 2, saw Helen escort him to his native Ireland where they found themselves unwittingly in the middle of a bitter family feud and also hunted by brand new enemies.

Where to stream:.

The Tourist

What would you do if you lost your memory? Not just what you had for breakfast, but all sense of who you are and who is in your life? Then you find out that someone really, really wants to see you dead? That’s the idea behind the new Netflix series, which originally ran on HBO Max back in 2022.

THE TOURIST : STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?

Opening Shot: Scenes of the arid environment in the Australian Outback. A tiny car drives down an empty road.

The Gist: A man (Jamie Dornan) stops for gas; he’s wearing a generic “AUSTRALIA” tourist t-shirt. He has no idea why the attendant at the station makes him sign out for the bathroom key. We see him come out the back door of the bathroom, next to the Dumpsters.

As he’s driving on the seemingly empty road in his tiny Mazda, a massive tractor trailer bears down on him. When the tractor trailer rams the man’s car, he realizes it’s not just an aggressive driver. After a long chase over some rough terrain, the man thinks he’s gotten away from the truck, when the truck slams into him, causing the tiny car to roll over a few times.

The man wakes up in the local hospital, surprisingly not severely injured. However, he has no idea who he is or what he was doing. He doesn’t even remember his own name. He can recall a song title when he’s in an MRI machine, but that’s about it.

A friendly local cop, Helen Chambers (Danielle Macdonald), goes to his room to take a statement. She is a bit uncomfortable with the man’s lack of memory, but ends up being reassuring to an extent. The only thing he finds in his possessions is a note to meet someone the next day at a diner in a nearby town. Helen says she’ll look into that.

We follow Helen home and see that, like most of us, she has issues with her weight, not the least of which is exacerbated by her fiancé Ethan (Greg Larsen) and their upcoming wedding.

Another thing we see is someone buried underground. Desperate to get out of whatever box he’s been put in, he tries to call someone on his phone, but no one is answering.

The man goes outside to get air, but gets lost inside the hospital, scaring him senseless. He decides to check himself out of the hospital the next day, against medical advice, because he needs to go to that diner and find out just who wanted to meet him there. Helen understands why he wants to do it, and gives him a bus ticket to get there.

At the diner, he meets a waitress named Luci (Shalom Brune-Franklin), who seems to be fascinated by his amnesia. When she spills lemonade on him, she takes him out to where there are bathrooms. Just then, there’s an explosion, right in the booth where he was sitting. He wonders aloud why in the world someone is trying to kill him.

Pictures from a disposable camera found at the crash site help him retrace his steps, as well as video from the gift shop he visited. It brings him back to the gas station and its bathroom. He doesn’t find out his name though, as he signed the key sign-out sheet as “Crocodile Dundee.” But he finds something else; a stuffed koala that he hid next to the Dumpster. Much to his surprise, it starts ringing.

What Shows Will It Remind You Of? Take the movie Memento and cross it with the quirkiness of the first season of the Fargo series, and you’ve got the vibe of The Tourist.

Our Take: The Tourist , written by Harry Williams and Jack Williams ( The Missing, Fleabag ) looks like it’s a complex show with a twisty plot, but when you really take a close look, it’s pretty straightforward. Dornan’s character has no idea who he is; all he knows is that someone wants to kill him. With the help of Helen and others, he’ll try to piece things together before those that are after him, including Billy (Ólafur Darri Ólafsson), the whistling man who almost squashed him in the tractor trailer, catch up to him.

In the first episode, The Tourist evolves from what seems like a thriller to a more personal narrative. It’s why we get involved in Helen’s life when she’s off-duty. In a Weight Watchers-style meeting, she claims she doesn’t like her body, even though everyone is yelling about body acceptance. But it also feels like she’s more there because of her fiancé than anything else. So even though Helen knows her name, who’s in her life and what she does, she also hasn’t found herself. Plus, she seems to be made to feel guilty about just about everything.

Perhaps as she gets more involved in the life of Dornan’s character, the more she will figure out who she is. At least that’s what we hope, because Macdonald is utterly charming as Helen, who is very much in the vein of Allison Tolman’s portrayal of Molly Solverson in the aforementioned Fargo. She’s good at her job, even if she’s a bit green, but also is a friendly and helpful sort who needs to help herself most of all.

There is definitely a bit of a sense of humor running the first episode, but the Williamses aren’t trying to make the show quippy. The humor is there when people seem to be fascinated with Dornan’s character’s amnesia, though he assures them it’s no picnic. The humor creeps in along the edges of the show, but it does just enough to ease what is a pretty serious and grim performance by Dornan.

There is one twist near the end of the episode that we won’t spoil here, but it does make us wonder if, as things get more complicated for Dornan’s character (notice we haven’t named him yet, because the character has none as yet), the plot will become more convoluted. We hope not, as it seems the straightforward manner in which this story is being told suits The Tourist just fine.

Sex and Skin: Nothing in the first episode.

Parting Shot: When the stuffed koala starts ringing, the man digs out a burner phone and answers it. When the man who’s buried starts yelling in relief that he answered, the man says, “Uh, who’s this?”

Sleeper Star: Shalom Brune-Franklin does some compelling work as Luci, and we know that she’s much more involved in this story than most of the first episode lets on.

Most Pilot-y Line: Nothing we could find.

Our Call: STREAM IT. The Tourist hooked us in with its story, plus the performances by Dornan, Macdonald and Brune-Franklin. Let’s hope the story continues to be interesting as the season goes on.

Dune: Prophecy Set for November Debut - Watch Latest Teaser for HBO Prequel Series

H BO has gotten a bit more specific with Dune: Prophecy ‘s release timetable, announcing on Thursday that the prequel series will arrive this November.

The update comes two months after Dune: Prophecy was penciled in for sometime in Fall 2024; an exact premiere date is still TBD. (HBO has also released a new, minute-long teaser trailer for the series, which you can watch above.)

Ordered to series way back in June 2019 - before the streamer formerly known as HBO Max had any name, and well ahead of Dune: Part One ‘s October 2021 release - the six-episode Dune: Prophecy is set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides (played by Timothée Chalamet in the film franchise). It follows two Harkonnen sisters - played by Olivia Williams ( Counterpart ) and Emily Watson ( Chernobyl ) - as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and in turn establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.

Dune: Prophecy is inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune , written by Dune author Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

The Dune: Prophecy cast also includes Jodhi May ( The Witcher ) as Empress Natalya, a formidable royal who united thousands of worlds in her marriage to Emperor Corrin; Travis Fimmel ( Vikings ) as Desmond Hart, a charismatic soldier with an enigmatic past; plus Sarah-Sofie Boussnina ( Knightfall ), Shalom Brune-Franklin ( The Tourist ), Aoife Hinds ( Normal People ), Chloe Lea ( Foundation ) and Faoileann Cunningham ( The Northman ).

Additionally, Indian superstar Tabu will recur as Sister Francesca , once a great love of the Emperor, The End of the F**king World ‘s Jessica Barden will play a young version of Watson’s character, and South Korean actress/musician Jihae will guest-star as Reverend Mother Kasha, the Emperor's Truthsayer and confidant.

Alison Schapker ( Altered Carbon , Westworld ) serves as showrunner on the series, ever since a February 2023 creative shift .

"The Bene Gesserit have always been fascinating to me," Denis Villeneuve, director of the Dune films and an EP on Dune: Prophecy , said back in 2019. "Focusing a series around that powerful order of women seemed not only relevant and inspiring, but a dynamic setting for the television series."

As reported earlier this month , Dune: Prophecy is one of several series - along with The Batman spinoff The Penguin , the upcoming Harry Potter series, IT prequel Welcome to Derry and recently ordered Green Lantern project Lanterns - that were initially developed as Max exclusives but will instead be branded as HBO originals moving forward. With those shows now under the HBO umbrella, it guarantees they will all air on the linear premium cable network, in addition to streaming on Max.

The Best TV Shows of 2024 (So Far)

Peak TV is supposedly over. These 10 standout series beg to differ.

Share All sharing options for: The Best TV Shows of 2024 (So Far)

If Peak TV officially plateaued last year, then 2024 has been a window into what the medium’s future might look like: fewer shows, potentially fewer streaming services , and a return to cable-style bundles . But even as the industry continues to contract, there’s still great television to be had if you know where to look, whether it’s a historical epic set in feudal Japan, a psychological thriller shot in stunning black-and-white, or a travel series where an iconic comedian is roasted by locals at every stop. These are the best shows of the year so far.

10. Manhunt

Prime Video might’ve been the first streamer to corner the Dad TV market , but Apple TV+ recently joined the party by releasing several historical dramas that scratch the itch. For my money, the best of the bunch is Manhunt . Based on James L. Swanson’s 2007 bestseller, the seven-episode miniseries largely takes place in the aftermath of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination at the hands of John Wilkes Booth (Anthony Boyle, pulling double Dad TV duty on Apple’s Masters of the Air ), who is pursued across the country by Secretary of War Edwin Stanton (Tobias Menzies). The Dad TV lovers of the world will revel at the show’s historical detail, as well as a deep bench of That Guys (Matt Walsh, Patton Oswalt, Glenn Morshower, Josh Stewart, Larry Pine) filling out the roster. All told, Manhunt is a bit of everything: a dogged detective drama, a taut conspiracy thriller, and a tragic reminder that progress in America is so often met with violent resistance.

9. Conan O’Brien Must Go

I’ve long wondered whether Conan O’Brien, after decades as a late-night host beloved by everyone not named Jay Leno, was being held back by his original medium. Time and again, Conan proved he was at his best making off-the-cuff banter in remote segments or travel specials, rather than staying in the studio. Thankfully, with the Max travel series Conan O’Brien Must Go , the comedian is completely untethered from late-night, and the results are exactly what fellow Con-acolytes would expect: hilarious, spontaneous, self-deprecating chaos. Following Conan across Norway, Argentina, Thailand, and Ireland while he meets with fans of his podcast, the series settles into a familiar rhythm as its host plays the part of a goofy tourist and invites the locals to ridicule him for it. (You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Conan learn the tango.) It doesn’t matter what country he’s visiting or what situation he’s found himself in: If someone’s in need of a laugh, Conan O’Brien is still the way to go.

8. Mr. & Mrs. Smith

On paper, a small-screen adaptation of Mr. & Mrs. Smith seems doomed to fail; pity anyone tasked with matching the star power (and accompanying tabloid fodder) of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. But the Prime Video series, created by Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane, charts its own course by reimagining the titular spies as servants to the gig economy. Once John and Jane Smith (Glover and Maya Erskine) agree to pose as a married couple for a mysterious, faceless organization, Mr. & Mrs. Smith adopts a case-of-the-week format in which the missions reflect their relationship’s evolution from a convenient cover into something more authentic. (One highlight: when the duo protects a billionaire, played by Ron Perlman, who behaves like a pouty toddler.) Fun, clever, and sexy, Mr. & Mrs. Smith offers the best of both worlds: a throwback procedural with the kind of lavish production values that have defined the streaming era . It’s since been announced that Mr. & Mrs. Smith ’s second season will likely introduce a new couple (actors TBD). Finding worthy replacements for Glover and Erskine will be a tall order, but so far, the show has successfully filled the Americans void in my heart.

7. The Sympathizer

When a filmmaker of Park Chan-wook’s stature cocreates an HBO miniseries, you pay attention. The Sympathizer , based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel of the same name, follows a character known only as the Captain (Hoa Xuande), a communist double agent embedded with a South Vietnamese general (Toan Le) who flees to Los Angeles after the fall of Saigon. Like some of Park’s best work ( The Handmaiden , Decision to Leave , AMC’s The Little Drummer Girl ), The Sympathizer excels when its protagonist’s loyalties and sense of identity are blurred, particularly in the Captain’s encounters with Robert Downey Jr., who plays five different characters embodying American imperialism. (While Downey clearly relishes taking on several roles at once , it’s also a clever meta-commentary on Hollywood’s propensity to treat Asian American actors as interchangeable .) The Captain might struggle to come to terms with who he really is, but under Park’s dynamic direction, the same can’t be said for The Sympathizer : a winning synthesis of style and substance.

A collage of characters from popular TV shows

There’s a lot of TV out there. We want to help: Every week, we’ll tell you the best and most urgent shows to stream so you can stay on top of the ever-expanding heap of Peak TV.

Across its first two seasons, it felt like Hacks had run its natural course with legendary stand-up Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and up-and-coming comedy writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder): The former mined her personal life for career-best material, and the latter gained some invaluable experience before going it alone. But in Hacks ’ third (and best) season, the Max dramedy found the perfect way to reunite these creative soulmates once more. With Deborah having an outside shot at becoming a late-night host, she and Ava work together to make that dream happen. As a result, what was once a prickly partnership across the generational divide morphs into something endearing: a genuine friendship among peers. And then, well, the finale happens , setting the stage for a fourth season in which, to paraphrase Logan Roy , Ava is finally a killer in Deborah’s eyes. Deborah and Ava’s relationship may be back on shaky ground, but as the characters venture into the world of late-night, Hacks has firmly established itself as can’t-miss TV.

Honestly, no one’s more surprised about this than me. While The Last of Us proved that video-game adaptations can succeed, here was another postapocalyptic franchise with the added challenge of turning an open-world concept into a streamlined narrative fit for TV. But against all odds, Prime Video’s Fallout doesn’t just stand on its own: The series has become the new gold standard for video-game adaptations. Set 219 years after Earth has been decimated by nuclear war, Fallout introduces viewers to Lucy MacLean (Ella Purnell), a young woman who has spent her entire life in a Vault—a technologically advanced underground bunker—before venturing out to the surface to rescue her kidnapped father. In her travels, Lucy crosses paths with irradiated animals, mutated bounty hunters, opportunistic cannibals, and organ harvesters, which Fallout plays for grim laughs above all else. The real monsters of Fallout , however, are the corporate forces that have continually sought to maximize profits at the expense of humanity’s future. (Did I mention this show streams on Amazon ?) On the whole, I’ve loved what we’ve seen from Fallout so far; here’s hoping it keeps leveling up in Season 2.

Full disclosure: As a former Hong Kong expat, I was always going to be drawn to Prime Video’s Expats . Created by Lulu Wang, and based on Janice Y.K. Lee’s 2016 novel The Expatriates , the six-episode miniseries concerns three Americans living abroad—Margaret (Nicole Kidman), Hilary (Sarayu Blue), and Mercy (Ji-young Yoo)—who are united by a traumatic event. A more conventional series might have prioritized giving answers to Expats ’ inciting incident, but Wang is interested in the existential malaise and sense of displacement that arises from it. Expats ’ greatest feat, however, is a feature-length episode that focuses on the “helpers”—live-in, do-it-all maids for the show’s wealthy Westerners—existing on the margins, but who are the real heartbeat of the story. Amid these intertwining arcs, Expats delivers an authentic, multifaceted portrait of Hong Kong and the people who call it home—if only temporarily.

3. Tokyo Vice

It was recently announced that some upcoming “Max Originals” will be rebranded as HBO shows—the subtext being that, when it comes to prestige TV, Warner Bros. should never have messed with a good thing. Case in point: A Tokyo-set crime drama executive-produced by my biological father, Michael Mann, somehow fell under the radar. Based on journalist Jake Adelstein’s memoir of the same name, Tokyo Vice follows a fictionalized version of the author (played by Ansel Elgort) as he becomes the first foreign reporter to work for one of Japan’s biggest newspapers in the late ’90s. From there, the show homes in on the ever-evolving relationship between journalists, police, and the yakuza. At its best, Tokyo Vice feels like the Japanese equivalent of The Wire , constantly expanding its purview while exploring the city’s interconnected systems of power. The rival yakuza syndicates, especially, are caught in a fascinating struggle between tradition and modernity at the turn of the century. Sadly, Max has pulled the plug on Tokyo Vice after two seasons, though creator J.T. Rogers is holding out hope that the series can find a new home . I’d love nothing more than to see Tokyo Vice continue its story. If not, its legacy is already assured as one of the best shows of the 2020s.

Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Talented Mr. Ripley has been subject to numerous adaptations, including the Matt Damon–led feature film that resonates as both a stylish psychological thriller and overt vacation porn. It’s to writer-director Steven Zaillian’s immense credit, then, that Netflix’s Ripley feels like the definitive interpretation of Highsmith’s text. Starring Andrew Scott as Tom Ripley, the eight-episode miniseries sees the infamous con man weasel his way into the life of Dickie Greenleaf (Johnny Flynn), the charming heir to an American shipping fortune who would rather galavant around Italy. (Who can blame him, really?) Without spoiling too much, things take a darker turn as the duplicitous Ripley tries to keep all his lies straight, whether he’s drawing the suspicious eye of Dickie’s girlfriend, Marge Sherwood (Dakota Fanning), or the local authorities. But the real MVP of Ripley is Robert Elswit’s gorgeous black-and-white cinematography, which makes every frame of the series look like a moving painting. Being one of the best-looking shows ever made would’ve been enough for Ripley to make the cut—that it’s also an engrossing character study anchored by an Emmy-worthy performance is the icing on the cake.

Setting aside its actual prequel series , television didn’t have an heir apparent to Game of Thrones : a sprawling, big-budget drama that emerged into a genuine cultural phenomenon. Turns out, a true Thrones successor wouldn’t be found in a fantasy realm like Middle-earth , but in 17th-century Japan. Based on James Clavell’s bestselling novel of the same name, FX’s Shogun centers on John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), an English sailor who inadvertently arrives on Japan’s shores. Soon, Blackthorne becomes a valuable pawn for Lord Yoshii Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), a powerful daimyo whose growing influence could lead his political rivals to war against him. While Shogun spares no expense as a sweeping historical epic, the show’s best moments are often its most understated , particularly when Blackthorne’s translator, Toda Mariko (Anna Sawai), finds clever ways to speak her mind within Japan’s rigid rules of decorum. The show was originally intended to be a miniseries, but FX has since announced that Shogun will return for two more seasons . Hopefully, unlike Thrones , cocreators Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks won’t stumble if they leave the source material behind. Whatever’s in store for the future, Shogun is the best show of the year so far, and it’s hard to imagine anything dethroning it. For anyone who disagrees, I assume it’s proper for you to commit seppuku at once.

Storms Flood the Ozarks and Strand Drivers in Toronto. New York Community Is Devastated by Tornado

Much of the U.S. and Canada is cleaning up or still dealing with a new wave of severe storms that have caused deaths and damage this week from the Plains to New England

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Another wave of severe storms pummeled a wide swath of the United States and Canada, leading to flash floods and water rescues Wednesday in the Ozark Mountains, dropping a tornado that ravaged a community in upstate New York and stranding drivers in high water around Toronto.

The relentless series of storms has caused deaths or damage from the Plains to New England this week. Hundreds of thousands of people have lost power and air conditioning during days of sweltering heat.

As much as 11 inches (nearly 28 centimeters) of rain fell overnight into Wednesday on parts of the Ozarks in Arkansas and Missouri , the National Weather Service said.

Buses and ambulances evacuated 86 people from a nursing home in Yellville, Arkansas, where water rose to about 4 feet (1.2 meters) during flash flooding, Marion County Sheriff Gregg Alexander said. A section of a bridge washed out and a historic courthouse flooded.

Cities across upstate New York were cleaning up after a storm swept through Tuesday with high winds and spectacular lightning and flying debris that killed one person.

In the small city of Rome, New York, a tornado ripped off roofs, tipped over vehicles and turned several buildings into piles of rubble.

Steeples crumbled and roofs were torn apart at First Presbyterian Church and the St. Mary’s Church, both built in the 1800s. Copper sheets from the roof of First Presbyterian were found wrapped around utility poles a quarter mile away.

The winds were fierce enough to move a multi-ton tourist attraction, a B-52 bomber displayed at Griffiss Business and Technology Park. A mural of a Revolutionary War figure on horseback — a Rome landmark — was destroyed, along with the building on which it was painted. All that remained was an image of a horse hoof.

Speaking outside St. Mary’s, Gov. Kathy Hochul said it was “miraculous” no one was killed in the city of 31,000. She toured the downtown Wednesday and said 22 buildings were damaged or destroyed. She described seeing trees “collapsed like toothpicks” and told of mobile homes tipped over with people inside. The governor marveled at narrow escapes, including two children in a medical waiting room who emerged unscathed even though the building was partially “obliterated.”

A National Weather Service preliminary damage survey released Wednesday night estimated the Rome tornado’s top winds at 135 mph (217 kph) and gave it an EF2 rating, considered “significant,” on the Enhanced Fujita scale.

Chiropractor Kingsley Kabari was with a patient in his second-floor office in Rome when his cellphone blared with a tornado alert Tuesday afternoon. By the time he could pick it up to mute it, the storm had arrived, he said, blowing out windows, tearing at the roof of the two-story brick building and sending debris flying.

“It was like a bomb dropped on the building with very high-power wind. Things were just flying everywhere — and this was inside,” he said Wednesday.

The tornado cut a path between two nursing homes operated by Grand Healthcare, sparing them of the most severe damage but pelting the buildings with powerful winds and heavy rains that knocked out their power, regional vice president Bruce Gendron said.

He said he was at one of the nursing homes when the storm hit, and staffers moved residents away from the windows in case trees came toppling into the building.

The facilities' backup generators kicked in, keeping most systems intact until normal power was restored Wednesday afternoon, he said.

“To our residents of Rome: Do not be discouraged. This community is resilient and we will build back,” Mayor Jeff Lanigan said.

A weaker tornado given an initial EF1 rating, with a top estimated wind speed of 110 mph (177 kph), also touched down about 230 miles (370 kilometers) away in Lyme, New Hampshire on Tuesday night, the weather service said. It remained on the ground for about 1.8 miles (2.9 kilometers) and knocked down at least 100 trees, said Jon Palmer, a weather service meteorologist in Gray, Maine.

About 30 miles (48 kilometers) away in Canastota, storm debris hit and killed an 82-year-old man, village administrator Jeremy Ryan said. Hochul said three homes collapsed and 30 other structures were damaged in the community.

A thousand miles (1,600 kilometers) away in Flippin, Arkansas, people went door to door to get as many as 40 residents to flee dangerous conditions before floodwaters began to recede. At least 30 residents were evacuated from an apartment complex in Greenbrier, 34 miles (55 kilometers) north of Little Rock, state emergency managers said.

“We’re not griping, because we absolutely needed the rain, but it will take a little while for us to drain out and clean the roadways back up,” said Alexander, the Marion County sheriff.

Bill Scruggs and his crew from Wild Bill’s Outfitter, based south of Yellville, scrambled to save their canoes and kayaks from a sandbar in the Buffalo National River as waters quickly rose before dawn Wednesday.

Nearly 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) of rain fell overnight on the tourist hub of Branson, Missouri. Taney County Sheriff Brad Daniels said several campgrounds were evacuated and people had to be rescued from a flooded mobile home park in nearby Hollister.

Trees fell on houses and cars Tuesday in Keene, New Hampshire, forcing some residents to evacuate. Around Toronto, flooding temporarily closed several major roads and left drivers stranded. Authorities said they rescued at least 14 people from flooding on the highway.

More than 140,000 homes and businesses lacked power Wednesday evening in Northeastern U.S. states, according to PowerOutage.us. The East Coast from Maine to the Carolinas was warned of weather that could feel hotter than 100 degrees (37.8 Celsius) in some places.

A storm helped bring under control a forest fire burning at a military bombing range in New Jersey as it dropped half an inch of rain, the state forest fire service said.

This week's severe weather struck the Chicago area especially hard. The weather service said it so far has confirmed at least 18 tornadoes in northern Illinois and northwestern Indiana : six on Sunday and 12 during a frightening stretch Monday night.

The larger bunch emerged from a derecho, long-lasting windstorms that began in Iowa and rolled east for hours, according to senior meteorologist Brett Borchardt.

“It's not unprecedented, but it's very unusual. When we have a line of storms like that, they’re prolific tornado producers,” he said.

Across the U.S., the storms have led to at least five deaths, including the one in New York. Flooding killed an 88-year-old couple who were in their car near Elsah, Illinois, on Tuesday, and a 76-year-old passenger in a pickup in Rockford, Illinois, on Sunday. A fallen tree killed a 44-year-old woman in Cedar Lake, Indiana, on Monday.

A cold front is forecast to cause scattered showers and thunderstorms in the East over the next few days but will also provide relief from the heat in the eastern and central United States, according to the weather service. However, excessive heat is forecast for parts of the West and Southeast.

White reported from Detroit. Associated Press writers Karen Matthews in New York City, Anthony Izaguirre in Albany, New York, Carolyn Thompson in Buffalo, New York, and Nick Perry in Boston contributed.

'Baywatch' documentary: Will Kelly Slater, surf champ who quit the show, be in it? What we know

'after baywatch: moment in the sun' is a four-part documentary series that will premiere aug. 28, 2024, on hulu..

"Baywatch" TV show with David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson filmed in California. "Baywatch" the movie with The Rock and Zac Efron partially filmed in Florida.
The show, a pop culture phenom, glamorized "slow-mo running," a topic that often came up between Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani on "Friends."

Before Kelly Slater became the GOAT of surfing, he was Jimmy Slade in "Baywatch."

And, like some of his co-stars, he wasn't always crazy about being on the show.

For those who remember, in the series Kelly Slater's character was linked to Nicole Eggert's lifeguard character Summer Quinn and in real life dated co-star Pamela Anderson. In a Howie Games podcast episode in 2021 , the 11-time world surfing champion told host Mark Howard that he hated being on "Baywatch" and mentioned his initial surprise of being cast after what he said was a terrible audition.

"After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun," a documentary about the iconic '90s series that features most of the cast, will be released on Hulu in August. Here's what we know about "Baywatch," "After Baywatch" and Kelly Slater.

What is 'Baywatch' TV series about?

"Baywatch" was the Los Angeles lifeguard series that was part soap opera, part drama, part-"how do they save the day"-series that ruled TV and global pop culture for 11 seasons from 1989 to 2001. The beloved show inspired the short-lived spinoffs "Baywatch Hawaii" and "Baywatch Nights."

Who is Kelly Slater? Who is the GOAT of surfing?

Kelly Slater of Cocoa Beach, Florida, is considered the GOAT of surfing with 11 world titles. He was also the youngest (age 20 in 1992) and the oldest (age 39 in 2011) world surfing champion in history. He turned pro upon graduation from Cocoa Beach Jr./Sr. High, where he made straight As. He completed his master's degree in criminal law at Sydney (Australia) University in 2004.

Other quick hits about Kelly Slater:

Music: He was part of a band (singing and ukulele) called The Surfers with fellow pro surfers Rob Machado and Peter King, and released a 1998 album, "Songs from the Pipe."
Video games: He appeared in "Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer," published by Activision in 2002, and in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, with a surfboard, of course.
X-Games: Kelly Slater competed in 2003 and 2004 and, not surprisingly, won two gold medals.
Immortalized: There's a nearly 10-foot statue of Kelly Slater in downtown Cocoa Beach, Florida, thanks to the efforts of artist Tasha Drazich. The must-see tourist attraction was dedicated in 2010.
On screen: Kelly Slater has appeared in TV shows like "Baywatch," Super Bowl commercials, and 40 films, including "Endless Summer II," "Surf's Up" and the HBO surfing documentary "Momentum Generation."
Keyholder: Kelly Slater has been awarded "Keys to the City" in Cocoa Beach, Florida; San Clemente, California; and Huntington Beach, California; not only for his surfing but for his sea conservation efforts.
Magazine star: In 1997, he was an underwear model for Versace. GQ Magazine called him one of the 25 Coolest Athletes of All Time; Surfer Magazine called him the Greatest Surfer of All Time, and People Magazine named him as one of the "100 Most Beautiful People in the World."

How long was Kelly Slater on 'Baywatch?'

In "Baywatch," Kelly Slater played young surfer Jimmy Slade on 26 episodes of the popular TV show, which launched him into the Hollywood mainstream. He was a series regular for a season and a recurring character in another.

Why did Kelly Slater leave 'Baywatch?'

In a 2021 "Howie Games" podcast episode with Mark Howard, a self-proclaimed "Baywatch" fanatic, Kelly Slater surprised the Australian sports broadcaster by saying, "I was embarrassed I was on the show. I wasn't comfortablewith it. I wanted to be a world champion surfer. I wasn't trying to be a movie star or TV actor. … That wasn't my goal in life."

He called leaving the show a "coming-of-age moment" and admitted his mom was upset when he quit.

"It wasn't like some giant hit. It maybe wasn't in America what it was overseas," Slater tells Howard. "Guys tuned in to try and see chicks on it, whatever."

Though it was the No. 1 show in the world, "it wasn't winning awards," Slater said. His true goal was to become a surfing legend.

And quitting "Baywatch" allowed him to do that.

Who was in the cast of 'Baywatch?'

These are the stars of "Baywatch," the long-running show about California lifeguards, that aired from 1989 to 2001 on NBC:

David Hasselhoff
Nicole Eggert
David Charvet
Pamela Anderson
Kelly Slater

Jennifer Campbell
Donna D'Errico

Traci Bingham

Angelica Bridges
Marliece Andrada

Yasmine Bleeth

Why was 'Baywatch' popular?

Following the success of "Knight Rider," David Hasselhoff scored another iconic role: He played Lt. Mitch Buchannon in "Baywatch" for 11 seasons. Part of the show's popularity was the pretty cast with perfect beach bodies, with the female lifeguards sporting red bathing suits that showed off a lot of thigh. The male lifeguards typically ran shirtless − showing off washboard abs − and sported red boardshorts.

The show glamorized "slow-mo running," a topic that often came up between Chandler Bing and Joey Tribbiani on "Friends." Superfans know Matthew Perry's character had a crush on Summer Quinn, and he told Matt Leblanc's Joey that he named one of the baby chicks "Yasmine" after Yasmine Bleeth.

More recently, former " Baywatch" star Nicole Eggert appeared on ABC's "The Bachelor " with Clayton Echard in 2022. Eggert taught a group of "Bachelor" contestants some romantic lifeguard training. In the "Bachelor" episode, the ladies practiced their "slow-mo" running and performed CPR on a dummy.

What is 'After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun' documentary on Hulu about?

In "After "Baywatch" : Moment in the Sun," the stars will spill on what happened behind the scenes of the Los Angeles lifeguard series that ruled TV and global pop culture for 11 seasons from 1989 to 2001. Hulu announced the upcoming documentary series at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on July 10, 2024.

The four-part series will premiere on Aug. 28, 2024, featuring in-depth interviews with 35 cast members who wore the trademark red "Baywatch " swimsuits − from Carmen Electra to David Hasselhoff − intimate home videos and a never-been-seen interview with Pamela Anderson. The fascination remains more than three decades later over the classic '90s syndicated action drama featuring impossibly beautiful lifeguards saving lives on fantasy Southern California beaches.

"I still see a lot of articles that show me at age 19 in my red swimsuit and then me at 52 years old in the market, and the articles are like, 'What happened to her?'" Nicole Eggert, 52, an executive producer of "After Baywatch," told USA TODAY. "Let's talk about what happened."

Nicole Eggert on 'love-hate relationship' with 'Baywatch'

Like former "Baywatch" cast member Kelly Slater, Eggert opened up about the "love-hate relationship" she had with the show, adding that it "has definitely evolved over the years. Now I love it and appreciate it."

"But everyone has such a great story," she said. "And there's so much more than just their beauty and their time" on the show.

The TCA panel featured "Baywatch" stars Eggert, Electra (who played Lani McKenzie), Billy Warlock (Eddie Kramer), Alexandra Paul (Stephanie Holden), David Chokachi (Cody Madison), Jeremy Jackson (Hobie Buchannon), Traci Bingham (Jordan Tate) and Erika Eleniak (Shauni McClain).

Eggert told USA TODAY she had been struggling to make a "Baywatch" TV project more than five years ago. The project she originally had in mind morphed into the documentary series after meeting filmmaker Matthew Felker, who became the director and executive producer for "After Baywatch."

Eggert said Hasselhoff , the "Baywatch" series executive producer and main star, fully participated in the Hulu project. Hasselhoff was the first call Eggert made before going forward with the documentary: "I thought if he will do it, then we have something here. That was my driving force in the beginning. And when he said, 'Yeah, I'll do it.' It was like, 'Let's go!'"

Eggert revealed her battle with breast cancer in January 2024 .

"Life is a roller coaster," Eggert said. "This is a chance for people to reveal their own journey in their own words."

Will Kelly Slater appear on 'After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun' documentary on Hulu?

According to his bio on IMDB.com, Kelly Slater of Cocoa Beach, Florida, will appear on the "Baywatch" documentary that will stream on Hulu in August 2024.

Is there a Florida tie to 'Baywatch?'

Kelly Slater, the GOAT of surfing from Cocoa Beach, Florida, is the biggest tie to "Baywatch" since he was a series regular and appeared in 26 episodes.

In the 2017 film adaptation of "Baywatch," which stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Zac Efron, Alexandra Daddario and Priyanka Chopras Jonas, scenes were filmed in Palm Beach County, Florida. The action-comedy movie kicked off the 2017 summer movie season with its U.S. premiere May 13, 2017, in Miami Beach. Original "Baywatch" cast members David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson appeared on the red carpet alongside The Rock, Efron and Chopra Jonas.
