Chris, an ambulance worker suffering from seizures, is forced to reunite with a rookie. In the dangerous areas of Liverpool they will only be able to survive the night together. Otherwise, their mutual destruction is guaranteed.
If we know in France the career of Olivier Marshall, who moved from the corridor of the judicial police to the making of films and series (36 quai des Orfèvres, Braquo) as a director, screenwriter and actor, England now has hope for Tony Schumacher.
The policeman who patrolled Liverpool for many nights before hanging his badge was inspired by his story in 5 episodes of The Responder. Based on his own experience, the series portrays an officer in the midst of an existential crisis, his personal failures, sometimes cruel methods, but also his insecurity and sense of helplessness in front of the world. Collapses in his face. Hence, it is a very intimate story told with precision and in accordance with the great tradition of Noir thrillers.
Prior to its broadcast on CANAL + on May 9 and 10 and its availability on myCANAL, The Responder created the event in Lille last March during the 12th edition of the series Mania. The series, presented in the Panorama International category, immediately fascinated the public and the press, who emphasized its realism and sociological dimension.
Amidst his exciting investigation and engaging interpretations of the main cast, The Responder came out of the game with a special mention.
With well-known roles for big and small screen fans The Office UK, The Hobbit, Fargo, not to mention Sherlock, Martin Freeman once again reveals the quality of his talent, this time Chris Carson with his features. Through a masterfully woven main story, in a dark atmosphere that sometimes borders on darkness, the actor presents an astonishing performance.
Unrecognizable as a rude cop with a sharp accent, he manages to reveal all aspects of this injured, difficult human being who will confront his own demons. “I wanted to play Chris because he is the perfect mix of vulnerability and strength,” he explains. Martin Freeman shares the poster with Adelaio Adedaio, a true discovery in teammate Rachel Hargreave’s costume.
Whether you started The Responder or not, you already know that the second season has already been confirmed by the BBC. If 5 episodes are to be included, filming for this second salvo has not yet begun. So Chris Carson’s return should not happen until 2023.
