It certainly is worth a better score than it has at present. Script and acting are both good. It is complex enough with several stories going at once. There are a range of characters who inhabit the story and who require some concentration to unravel their roles. It is about people's intertwining lives and how people in powerful positions are able to divert justice to protect their secrets. It is about good and evil and innocence and guilt. It is about parents and children and the power of relationships and the need that is intrinsic in human nature. There is mystery and suspense which drives the characters and story along. In my opinion, it is worth at least an eight. The English know how to deliver a suspenseful series and they excel at keeping the momentum going.
As much as I am enjoying Fearless make no mistake this is Helen McCrory's show and boy is she good as the maverick lawyer, trying to free the wrongly convicted and bring down major political figures and government 's in the pursuit of justice. Fearless is bit of a slow burner the first two shows concentrating on the wrongfull conviction for the murder of a young girl 15 years previously at an American airforce base. From the third show onwards Fearless really hits its straps taking us into new territory with several plot twists along the way. Well written, well acted Fearless ticks all the boxes. And watch out Olivia Coleman, Helen McCrory may soon take over your crown as the darling of UK TV and film,
We couldn't stop watching and would love a season 2 tomorrow! Banville was compelling, as was Greenwood. Would love to see these two characters fleshed out even more. Her partners retorts to her demands at the end were brilliant. I'd like to see more of Dom next season (right, get on this!?) I'v managed to watch all Brit TV for the past 6 years & have raved to family members about the quality & depth of programs where no one screams, all women aren't pretending to be tough guys & how USA TV is shite.... to no avail...until we all cut the cord. We all now are members of BritBox, AcornTv, Walter Presents, Netflix, AMZN & the list will expand. As long as you produce shows like Fearless, River, Paranoid, Happy Valley, Norskov, Rita we'll happily live to see the demise of USA crap TV. This wasn't the BEST show ever, but it beats 99% of what we're offered on this side of the Atlantic. More, more more!
So far amazing acting. Love UK crime series definitely make Hollywood a RATED B group of perfect looking people with oddly enough the same whitest and straight teeth whilst lacking any type of good character acting. Another great series headed by an actress in her prime! Way to go UK. US is so far behind in the leading roles for woman. Great characters, UK is so much better than US in allowing the character flaws assimilating into the actors strengths! Great job will continue to watch,
I am enjoying this,think I will stick with it. I was tempted not to watch it at all due to all the hype in the media about it. Of course I won't go into plot details but this is similar to things like SECRET STATE(TV),STATE OF AFFAIRS(TV) DEFENCE OF THE REALM(film),a sort of political conspiracy thriller. This has a good cast,including in a small part the beautiful Sammy Winward.
This is the sort of thing I like but it might not be for everyone,you need to pay attention to keep up with what is going on.
