Fearless

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.

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.

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.

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,

"Fearless" deserves far more recognition than its current rating suggests. The script is tight, the performances compelling, and the narrative multilayered. With intertwining lives, shifting power dynamics, and the moral gray areas between justice and corruption, it keeps viewers engaged. Helen McCrory is sensational as the fearless lawyer fighting against wrongful conviction and political conspiracies. The first two episodes are a slow build, focusing on a 15-year-old murder case, but from the third episode onward, the tension skyrockets with gripping twists.

British crime dramas have a unique depth-avoiding Hollywood's obsession with glossy aesthetics and perfect-looking actors with eerily flawless teeth. Unlike American shows like The Blacklist or Designated Survivor, which rely on exaggerated action and larger-than-life heroes, Fearless remains grounded, reflecting the complexities of real-world justice. UK series excel in blending strong character arcs with an engaging, suspenseful pace, making them more authentic.

Interestingly, European cinema outside the UK takes a different route, often embracing darker, more introspective storytelling. Take Dark (Germany), Spiral (France), or Bordertown (Finland)-these series dive deep into raw human emotions, crime, and existential dilemmas. The UK strikes a balance: more realistic than Hollywood but not as bleak as some European noir.

Fearless is yet another testament to Britain's superior storytelling in crime dramas. Helen McCrory's brilliance might just challenge Olivia Colman's reign as the queen of UK television. A must-watch!"
