Fearless – set to be summer’s big thriller.by Vogue | June 13, 2017

MARY MCCARTNEY

Perched on a desk on the 32nd floor of the Shard, the London skyline pushing through the fog behind her, Helen McCrory puts her arms around Michael Gambon. “I did my first ever TV with him,” she says, smiling. “I played his daughter in The Entertainer in the early Nineties.”

It’s a fitting memory, not least because Gambon has had everyone on today’s set in stitches. “We hate each other on screen,” says Gambon, referring to his and McCrory’s spiky relationship in ITV’s new legal conspiracy thriller Fearless. “But not off,” he adds with a wink. After years working together, the pair have formed a close friendship. “Her husband’s a lovely bloke, too,” says Gambon, as they air-kiss goodbye.

Fearless is on ITV on Monday nights.

Fearless Review – Helen McCrory Shines in a Fabulously Classy Thriller

In this first episode, a number of balls are chucked gleefully into the air – and we may all need notebooks to keep track

Passion, intelligence and assiduity … Helen McCrory in Fearless. Photograph: ITV

If I didn’t know Fearless (ITV) was written by one of the writers and producers of the likes of Homeland, 24, and Person of Interest – Patrick Harbinson – I would be slightly worried about the number of balls that had been chucked gleefully into the air by the end of the first episode in its six-part run. To wit:

1. A human rights lawyer (Emma Banville, played with characteristic passion, intelligence and assiduity by Helen McCrory), whose speciality is uncovering miscarriages of justice, is being persecuted by the tabloids, who claim she is hellbent on setting “paedos” free.

2. Whose latest case involves investigating the possibly unsafe conviction of Kevin Russell, a man who has been in prison for 14 years for the murder of schoolgirl Linda Simms. He says his confession was coerced, and Emma – by the remarkably simple means of getting the autopsy report looked at by a scientist not in the police’s pocket and finding therein a whole lot of stuff that simply Does Not Add Up – quickly secures a retrial.

Fearless star Helen McCrory: “We’re all pioneers as women now because there’s no blueprint”

Mistaking her OBE for a parking ticket and how husband Damian Lewis convinced her to join her new ITV drama

by Elizabeth Day | June 12, 2017 | Radio Times

Helen McCrory arrives in the north London pub where we have agreed to meet wearing checked trousers and a peaked flat cap to keep the sun off her face. She speaks rapidly as if struggling to match the pace of her own thoughts. The whole impression is that of an energetic Victorian chimney sweep or an extra from Oliver Twist.At first, I don’t even recognise her. But then, she has always been a chameleon, an actress capable of feats of transformation. At 48, her CV is testament to her range: she was Narcissa Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, Medea on stage and is about to reprise her role as Aunt Polly in Peaky Blinders (the cap she’s wearing was actually borrowed from the set).

Her latest incarnation is as the lead in ITV’s new political thriller, Fearless, scripted by Homeland writer Patrick Harbinson. McCrory plays Emma Banville, a campaigning lawyer who fights to free a man she believes was wrongfully convicted of killing a schoolgirl.
