Plot of A Confession on Prime

Martin Freeman opens up about his hard-hitting TV series “A Confession” in a new interview with ET Canada.

Freeman takes on the role of detective Steve Fulcher in A Confession on Prime, which is set to launch on BritBox in Canada on May 12.

Binge A Confession on Prime tells the real-life tale of 22-year-old Sian O’Callaghan, who disappeared in 2011 after a night out with friends.

Fulcher gets a local taxi driver to confess to the murder, as well as admitting to killing another woman years earlier.

However, due to the detective not following what’s deemed as correct police procedure after arresting the killer, he faces huge consequences despite doing what’s best for the victims’ families in that instance.

Freeman says of Fulcher’s “deeply unfair” story, “Steve’s a very impressive person.

He’s been through a lot and he’s still going through a lot in some ways, as far as I’m aware.

Certainly at the time we did A Confession on Prime he was working abroad and away from his family most of the time because he found it hard to work in the U.K.

He’s kind of philosophical about it really.

Hearing it from the horse’s mouth you couldn’t quite believe what he’d been through.

Someone just trying to do his job and trying to do his job very well, being the kind of policeman that we would all want actually.

Freeman said, “I’d want someone like him if a member of my family goes missing.”

“For him to have paid that huge price, it’s deeply unfair I think.”
