Fearless Review

Jesus. That was long winded and rushed. I feel little to no enthusiasm for Fearless, so there are probably tons of errors above. I simply do not care, because this show seriously blows loads. The series is already cliché enough and now we revisit the Iraq war. Did the writers aim to copy from London Spy? I doubt they would even have that level of intelligence. It is more likely that they just threw everything on the wall and prayed something would stick.

Wunmi Mosaku and Michael Gambon are pretty good. As the series drags on ever so painfully, I grow increasingly irritated with Helen McCrory and her persistent smile. Her nemesis Robin Weigert is even worse. At times, it feels like she has just snorted thirty lines of Adderall. I’ve never seen such an annoying performance. Fearless is downright terrible and there is truly no way to save this stinking pile of garbage. A 3 out of 10 is deserved. Check out recent recaps of Fearless, if you’re a glutton for punishment.
