Episode(s):
Series: 6 x 60min

The Responder follows Chris, a crisis-stricken, morally compromised, unconventional urgent response officer tackling a series of night shifts on the beat. Whilst trying to keep his head above water both personally and professionally, Chris is forced to take on a new rookie partner Rachel. Both soon discover that survival in this high pressure, relentless, night-time world will depend on them either helping or destroying each other.

Not recommanded for children under 12.

Our take

Based on the souvenirs of Tony Schumacher, former police patrolman who writes his first script, The responder is a journey deep in nocturnal Liverpool, a town haunted by memorable characters met by this weary cop almost sleepwalking, personified by Martin Freeman (Fargo, Sherlock) in a feverish performance.
