As for our biggest recommendations for the week...
The Tourists debuted on BBC last year to huge ratings, followed by garnering a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which led to the series being renewed for a second season. Season 2 sees Elliot and his ally Helen travel to Ireland to find answers about Elliot's identity. Of course, this results in them facing some challenges from his past. The series stars Jamie Dornan and Danielle Macdonald.
