The six-episode series *Fearless*, featuring the late Helen McCrory, is now available on Netflix. With a strong cast of British actors, this thrilling legal drama is definitely worth watching.
The show features Anna McCrory as Emma Banville, a skilled human rights lawyer. She represents Kevin Russell (played by Sam Swainsbury), a man who insists he was wrongly convicted of murder.
I was really excited to see *Fearless* finally hit Netflix! It originally came out on ITV back in 2017, but I missed it the first time around. It’s got Jonathan Forbes and Wunmi Mosaku in it too, which is awesome, and now I can binge all six episodes whenever I want.
