What to Know

Critics Consensus

A commanding Helen McCrory brings exhilarating conviction to every paranoia-infused scene in Fearless, even as the series charges unabashedly into melodrama.

3/5
With her high cheekbones and saleable purple leather jacket, McCrory's flawed renegade carried a drama so far overcrowded with ingredients and exposition. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 10/27/2017
3/4
By the third episode, the story has grown far more complex, leaving a lot to unravel in the final three episodes of the miniseries. Go to Full Review Rachel Cooke New Statesman 10/26/2017
What I love about Fearless is its messiness: Emma's frantic and complicated life, and her relish for every single one of its constituent parts, feel so wonderfully replete. Go to Full Review Diane Pershing Malibu Times 05/01/2020
...although it doesn't rank up there with the very best, "Fearless" is entertaining, most especially because Helen McCrorly, an award-winning theater actor, plays the lead, and, boy, is she good! Go to Full Review Ben Dowell Radio Times 05/17/2019
While the series gets off to a stuttering start, it's certainly not irredeemable. The storytelling is brisk and packed with plot, the themes are important, McCrory is dazzling on screen and there is a potentially interesting thriller ready to come out.

1/5
Fearless was conceived as a do-gooder fantasy about protecting 'human rights'. Thanks to its atrocious timing, it looks badly out of touch, and in execrable taste. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Betty B @Betty1977 Nov 1 I had high hopes for this series but the longer it went on, the more absurd and tiresome it became. It felt unrealistic to as why would any of these people talk to her freely, sharing details, meanwhile no harm ever came to her, even though she was 'messing with' so many powerful people...it missed the mark for me. See more 09/25/2018 Fantastic thriller !!!! When is Season 2 coming out ?????? See more 05/24/2018 Pretty decent little story, at the very least believable. The female leads in this show carry it, Mcrory and Weigert are cast well, as is the female hard-ass detective. Took us 2 1/2 episodes to get hooked, so it takes a little percolating before things start popping. See more 03/10/2018 incredible show from the writer and producer of homeland. Please bring season 2. See more 01/29/2018 Really well done Brit mystery/action series. Can;'t wait for season 2 already. Great story(s) and great acting. See more Read all reviews
