What are people saying about The Responder season 2?

Speaking to Variety about his character, Freeman has said that viewers will watch as Chris begins therapy in The Responder season 2.

“He goes: ‘I am going to give it a go, maybe I will learn something.’ It’s about putting yourself in a situation where you can actually get some help,” he explains.

“He is probably quite cynical about it and then sees that the person leading it is the same person he picked up as a very drunk driver. I don’t think he holds out a lot of hope for it, but he is trying it on. Like a new pair of shoes.”

Adedayo, meanwhile, adds that Rachel will be shown to struggle after leaving an abusive relationship.

“She suffers from PTSD and one of the symptoms is hyper-arousal: In terms of her job, that’s incredibly scary,” says the actor.

“She faces all kinds of threats, all night long. Her job is to remain calm, but that’s almost impossible now.”

When and where can we watch The Responder season 2?
