    Nice work and waiting for the next episodes...

    I just saw only two episodes of it and i already started liking it. It started slowly with simple plot and makes you watch without a gap waiting for the next episode to air. It reminds me of True Detective but i sense more depth in it. I hope this continues in the next episodes without dragging too much. Script & screenplay is excellent.

    Helen McCrory tour de force

    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,

    Excellent drama!

    This series was impossible for me to stop watching on Amazon Prime. It grabbed me from episode 1 and I binge watched the entire season. It was impossible to predict what was going to happen next, and that's unusual for me. I'm American, but I'm really beginning to appreciate British and Australian programs. This program is superb.

    The Helen McCrory show.

    Fearless is a quality British mini-series, six episodes long that you will probably binge watch once you started. As a mystery/crime it works very well. Each episode ends with a cliffhanger so you can't wait to watch the next episode. It's the Helen McCrory show to be honest. She's the star of the show and her performance is phenomenal. It was nice to watch the late Helen McCrory again, an actress that will be missed and that deserved a higher recognition. The rest of the cast was good as well but it's Helen McCrory that steals the show. Always very elegant to watch and convincing in her acting. Glad I stumbled onto this mini-series.

    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,
