The Responder | Series Trailer | Watch on SBS and On Demand

Chris (Martin Freeman) works the nightshift as a first responder in Liverpool, UK. Night after night, he’s faced with crime, violence and addiction. His own mental health is suffering, and he throws himself into helping others as a way to help himself, and maintain a semblance of a healthy work and personal life. But as the crises pile on, it’s tough going.

Inspired by the real-life experiences of former police officer, creator Tony Schumacher, The Responder gives us an authentic insight into facing society’s underbelly. Freeman’s gritty performance as Chris is one of his most compelling. Adelayo Adedayo, Ian Hart and MyAnna Buring also star.

The Responder premieres exclusively in Australia at 9.30pm, Wednesday 16 March on SBS. The full six-part season will land at SBS On Demand at midnight the same day.
