With an enchanting set of characters in a unusual scenario within the wilderness of Australia’s threatening panorama, ‘The Vacationer’ has all the trimmings of an attractive drama that’s distinctive in its strategy.
This six-episode collection begins with a person driving off into the scenic countryside after fuelling his automotive. We have no idea who he’s or the place he’s going.
