Martin Freeman's gripping true-crime drama 'A Confession' is set to leave Netflix on Tuesday, September 30, after just one year on the streaming service. The six-part series originally aired on ITV in 2019 and has been praised for its honest portrayal of a harrowing real-life case.
The show follows Detective Superintendent Steve Fulcher, played by Freeman, who arrests taxi driver Christopher Halliwell (Joe Absolom) for the disappearance of 22-year-old Sian O'Callaghan in 2011. In a desperate bid to find her alive, Fulcher questions Halliwell without a solicitor present, breaching police protocol and ultimately costing him his career.
Co-starring Siobhan Finneran of 'Happy Valley' fame as Sian's mother Elaine Pickford, and Imelda Staunton as Karen Edwards, mother of another victim, the drama explores the ethical dilemmas faced by officers in pursuit of justice. It holds a 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and has been described by fans as 'flawless' and 'heartbreaking'.
While the series leaves Netflix, it remains available to stream on ITVX. Viewers have only a short window to catch Freeman's acclaimed performance before it disappears from the platform.
