Sam Swainsbury in Fearless (2017) Ep4

At Kevin's trial, against Emma's advice, he pleads guilty to manslaughter and is immediately freed - before doing something drastic. Emma locates Pullings but he is unhelpful before she secretly meets Yusef, Miriam's husband, back in the country he is also taken in by the police. Emma then flies to America to interview possible clients of Linda, notably sergeant Logan Bradley, but ends up getting arrested herself.

*The U.S. military has no authority to detain civilians, even foreign nationals, on US soil. If Emma were to arrested it would be by the local police.

[ghosdeds]

an extraordinary actress and a wonderful woman. fly high, ma’am. you’ll be missed tremendously.

may she rest in peace.

[no-phrogs-in-hats]

hey! personally, I would love to read the next chapter of “She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not” about Julie Ranmore, but I understand if you decided to just stop it, if you didn’t have the motivation anymore.

Honestly, any one shots about Helen McCrory’s characters would rock especially Kathryn Villiers or Emma Banville, they are such underrated characters ;-; ANYWAY, lots of loves ✨💕

It is 4:40 in the morning and my jaw has dropped.

I didn’t even know people gave a shit about that fic anymore. I will definitely add that to my list. I’m currently trying to write chapter 52 (53 on AO3) of With Love because I haven’t posted in over two months. But thank you for this response because now I have the motivation to continue my books.

[princessgranger]

Happy Birthday to this absolute Queen!!

It would have been her 53rd birthday.. gone but never forgotten.

RIP to the legend that is Helen McCrory!!

[lesbianmermaid22]

There are no words deep or meaningful enough to describe how much Helen meant and still means to me. My heart is broken over her passing and my heart goes out to her family. Helen McCrory helped me through the darkest and lowest points of my life. Thank you Helen, for everything. Rest easy with Alan.

Fearless, 1.01

Pete Travis (D), Patrick Harbinson (S), 12/06/17

J'étais passé à côté de cette mini-série d'ITV lors de sa sortie, mais quand j'ai découvert la nouvelle du décès, vendredi dernier, d'Helen McCrory, j'ai eu envie de la revoir d'un oeil pour ainsi dire neuf. Même si ce n'est pas la première fois que je regarde évoluer à l'écran une comédienne depuis disparue, l'expérience est cependant très troublante car elle incarne ici une femme combattive, pleine d'énergie, de détermination et d'humanité – très vivante. Se dire qu'elle ne tournera plus, ne donnera plus corps et voix à d'autres personnages est triste. C'est comme si, en rencontrant Emma Banville, l'avocate qu'elle joue ici, j'apprenais qu'elle aussi était morte depuis.

Trailer Watch: Amazon's British Crime Series 'Fallen' Wants to "Kick Up a Stink"

CREDIT: ITV

Fearless is one of those crime shows in which someone says, “you sound completely nuts,” and then the lead investigator responds, “then I must be onto something.” To which I say, “But maybe our TV law enforcers should play more by the rules?”

Fearlessis a British show that aired on ITV in the U.K. this summer and is now making its way stateside on Amazon. It follows human rights…
