Matt Roush says...
Martin Freeman, whose brilliant career encompasses comedy (the original U.K. The Office), drama (Sherlock, Fargo) and fantasy (The Hobbit trilogy), won an International Emmy for one of his most realistic and raw performances, as The Responder’s Chris Carson, a conflicted and emotionally exhausted police officer working the grueling night shift in gritty Liverpool. He’s back for a second season, plunging even deeper into rabbit holes of deception and frustration. What he yearns for is a day job that would keep him closer to his estranged family, but his complicated dealings with shady cops and local drug dealers create one suspenseful setback after another. Launches with two episodes.
