THE Responder viewers all have the same complaint about the BBC drama and its star Martin Freeman.
Fans of The Hobbit actor tuned in to see him in his tough new role as a police officer in the grimy drama – but they all said the same thing.
They praised The Hobbit actor for his tough new role, but took to Twitter to complain about the ‘confusing’ plot.
They said they were hanging in there because Martin was so brilliant in his role as a Liverpudlian police officer.
One Tweeted: “Well this is depressing, but Martin Freeman is terrific.”
Another said: “This is a tough watch, but Martin Freeman is brilliant, so needs to be watched.”
A third chimed in: “It is hard work, staying with this.”
A fourth said: “I’ll give it 10 minutes max.”
A fifth said: “I think Martin Freeman in #TheResponder is just brilliant. The topic and script a hard watch but riveting!”
Others disagreed, with one Tweeting: “This is just brilliant. Everyone in it is just brilliant.”
Another said: “Oh I’m loving The Responder now, well into it.”
The Responder is based on true events as it is about the life of ex-police officer Tony Schumacher, who is also the writer for the series.
The six-part series follows Chris (Martin), a crisis-stricken, morally compromised, unconventional urgent response officer.
The show focuses on him tackling a series of night shifts on the beat in Liverpool.
