The conclusion to Martin Freeman’s drama, The Responder
The Responder has had BBC viewers on the edge of their seats for five episodes now, and last night the thrilling show came to its conclusion.
For those who don’t know, The Responder is set in Liverpool and follows Merseyside Police officer Chris Carson as he undertakes a number of night shifts.
Chris, played by Freeman, is joined by inexperienced officer Rachel Hargreaves, and together they embark on relentless, high-octane nights patrolling the city.

Meanwhile, under the surface, Chris is struggling with his mental health, as well as a failing marriage.
The final episode provided plenty of suspense and had viewers wondering whether Chris would get caught, whether he’d be able to strike a deal with Gallagher, and whether his wife would take him back.
Plenty got wrapped up in last night’s episodes, yet there were still some plot points left open-ended – perhaps hinting at a second series?
How have viewers responded to Martin Freeman’s The Responder?
To say that viewers have been impressed with The Responder would be an understatement!
Viewers have been loving the show, with some branding it the best BBC drama in years. Some even consider it to be the new Line of Duty!
“One of the best police dramas ever, up there with LOD [Line of Duty],” one viewer said. “Martin Freeman, Emily Fairn and Josh Finan were so believable, as were all the cast. There has got to be another series.”
