The Responder
CrimeDramaThriller58 min per episode
Night-shift officer Chris Carson patrols Liverpool one crisis at a time, moving between petty crime, domestic blowups, and calls that can turn dangerous without warning. He is already fraying under the strain, and every encounter seems to tighten the pressure on his job, his home life, and his grip on himself. When a young woman tied to the city’s drug trade puts him in the middle of a volatile mess, Chris starts cutting corners to keep control. His rookie partner sees more than he wants her to. Martin Freeman leads a story about frontline policing where each bad decision follows him into the next street, the next call, and the next night.
