Human Rights Lawyer: Fearless

by The Newsroom | The Scotsman | June 24, 2017

Fake news, post-truth, a world where there are no facts, only interpretations, if ever the time was right for a character like Helen McCrory’s human rights lawyer in ITV’s six part legal thriller, Fearless, it’s now.

Emma Banville believes in truth and the ability of the British legal system to uphold it, but not without a fight, and the tenacious lawyer is up for that fight. Known as a champion of lost causes, she sets out to prove the innocence of a convicted killer, who has served 14 years in jail for the murder of a schoolgirl, amid a backdrop of official conspiracies and cover-ups.

“Emma is a hunter for the truth, fearless and brave. She believes in Britain’s legal system and that it will strive for a just and fairer society, and that nothing is above the law,” says McCrory over the phone from the Fearless press junket.

Helen McCrory on Fearless: ‘The first time I read the script, I couldn’t put it down’

by Charlotte Williamson | Woman and Home | June 13, 2017

For Woman & Home’s May cover shoot, Helen McCrory enters the w&h studio in a head-turning outfit of top-to-toe tartan. It’s a sartorial homage to her Glaswegian father who’s staying with her, a mix of “Vivienne Westwood and Topshop; punk-rock Scottish.”

She’s been up since 6am managing the kids and walking the dog, but you’d never guess. A veritable ball of energy, Helen can’t wait to see the clothes rail as, she explains, “I have three premieres coming up and might find something for the red carpet.” This is an actress in demand.

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.
