Viewers have said new ITV drama Fearless left them feeling “sea sick” because of “wobbly” camera work.
The series stars Peaky Blinders actress Helen McCrory as a solicitor trying to free a convicted child killer who she believes is innocent.
Viewers said they were gripped by the plot and Helen’s acting skills when the show debuted on Monday night, but found the way it was filmed to be a little distracting.
The camera action is spoiling it. It's making me feel sea sick #Fearless

Shame – great cast / performances and interesting script upstaged by distractingly ostentatious, seasick camerawork #Fearless #ITV
