Fearless

[Dailystuck71]

Anyone watch? Think it could be quite good.

Sooooo predictable.

Surely there'll be a twist and it turns out he did do it.

I think it's good.
So much better than Broadchurch or Redwater.

I like it too.

And tonight we have to wait till 11:00 so that football and Piers Morgan can be shown/

Oh is it on tonight?!

I like killer women too

Sorry, user (and any others I may have misled) ! Obviously having a blonde/senior moment there - tonight's is the repeat of Monday's episode.

optimist

Anyone still watching this - I am, but getting really confused. Just how many Americans are involved in the coverup?

Struggling along but not enjoying it. It's a shame a lot of the actors are normally good but the storyline is crap.

I've lost interest. The American woman annoys me. So unconvincing.

What has the MP/tipped leader of party got to do with anything? Now totally confusing!
She shouldn't have given the advice she did. It was never going to end well except for as a complete overturn of original verdict....and as for jumping on a plane to ask a tiny pawn about state secrets? Really?
Has her husband left her or is he really away on business?
Most odd.
We'll be sticking with it now but it is making my head spin.

There isn't a single character in this that I feel any empathy for. Will watch to the end, but haven't got high hopes of it redeeming itself.

It's not great is it? But I shall plough on to the end now.

I think it was meant to be really good, hence the hiring of Michael Gambon, intricate and would-be meaningful title sequence (a bit similar to the one in Homeland) etc., but they forgot to get a decent plot and good writers!

I watched part of last weeks & thought I can't waste any more hours on this - a shame as Helen McCrory went to same girls school as dcs so always feel I have a vested interest!

Now that you've pointed out the Homeland similarity in the opening sequence, Pemba, I'm noticing inferior shades of Homeland all over the place in this!

I think it was the same writer/writers as Homeland, but clearly the Fearless script has been given the bits they scrawled out.

Given the Damien Lewis/Helen McCrory connection, I wonder if he said, "If you do my wife something I'll come back from the dead in Homeland". I'm always cynical about these things!

Really, Lady - the same writers as Homeland?? They must have been having an off day, well several off days!

Yes, just looked it up - Patrick Harbinson. They must have known it's a turkey as it was buried in summer schedules and not given a prime Autumn slot.

There was a good scene with Michael Gambon & HMcC last night at least.

Sarah Hughes recap in the Guardian has an interesting theory about why the politician & his wife are involved.

That story line has been v tacked on. It was mentioned that the husband had been in Iraq so maybe he had been at the base, saw what happened, was part of the cover-up & then ended up marrying Rachel, who didn't want to admit that she'd been there too.

Blimey that sounds daft. V disappointing series.

Why would the Americans go to such lengths to protect the British politician but not the British government?

They were protecting both I think. The meeting was to be kept secret so reporting any accident would involve the police who'd want the van & the driver.

Gambon wouldn't have been driving himself, he was Cabinet Secretary. Maybe Wild was his driver, he'd have been a young soldier, maybe military intelligence. Ran over Linda.

Evil Heather's comments to him about how he'd have gone to prison may refer to the fact it was his van. It was in his interest to stay quiet & now he doesn't want to lose his reputation, he said he enjoyed being close to those who matter, had a photo of himself with Wild.

How did they know that Kevin fancied Linda though? Must have been through Rachel.

It is frustrating. Could have been so much better. And as for Steve Glad it finishes next week, I can stop being frustrated

Protecting the government - the meeting was the one with the intel from the Iraqi, his information went into Colin Powell's UN speech re the war. In both governments' interests.

Is tonight's episode the final one?

It's not on tonight. Next Monday is the last episode.

It is in Ireland.
For some reason TV3 linked with ITV somehow (I think) shows programmes on different days to ITV.
So in UK are you ahead or behind viewers in Ireland?
Last weeks episode ended with Helen Mc Crory arrested in US
