FEARLESS
October 27, 2017  | By David Bianculli

Amazon Prime Video, 3:00 a.m. ET

 

SERIES PREMIERE: This Amazon import presentation from Britain’s ITV begins in familiar territory, like so many cold-case mystery stories. A woman approaches a prominent human rights lawyer, and begs her to take on the case of her husband, who has been imprisoned for more than a decade for a crime he continues to insist he didn’t commit – despite his confession at the time of arrest. The lawyer, played by Helen McCrory of Peaky Blinders, visits the convicted killer in prison, and begins to re-investigate in a way that points to his confession having been coerced. It also leads to a conspiracy involving both the police and the government – which, in turn, leads to another prominent Fearless player: Michael Gambon, star of my all-time favorite miniseries, The Singing Detective.
