I'm so glad it's coming back. The 1st series was incredible

[@GGHD76]

How good is Martin in this? I love him........and the 'Marco' actor.. is a rising star!

[@DavidBrown-jd2st]

Casey as good as marco both brilliant

[@TheFMHatter1986]

Might watch the first series before this one always love seeing Martin Freeman in these types of shows

[@obiwankenobi687]

Well yes. Don’t start something at series 2 that makes no sense

[@eb4225]

You should watch the first season, it's great and Martin Freeman is fantastic.

[@guyborrows7818]

Amazing scouse accent and that's coming from a Scouser

[@acechadwick]

​@guyborrows7818 His accent is spot on. Also a Scouser!

[@RosieHarp]

I wasn't a Freeman fan after The Office until THIS. It's brilliant, he's brilliant. Talk about 'gritty' drama, good grief 😮 The stress and anxiety just oozes out of this character. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kld5617]

I'm from. Liverpool and seeing an actor playing a scouser with the accent is very very difficult and Martin freeman has absolutely nailed it

[@RosieHarp]

@kld5617 I'm not from Liverpool but I thought he did too. Being Scottish it's a hit or a miss if someone can do a convincing job of our accents as well. Lots of people on here saying Freeman's accent wasn't good, I thought it was.

[@RosieHarp]

@kld5617 maybe not quite as good as Stephen Graham though eh? 😉

[@eb4225]

I can't wait to see Martin Freeman again in this role ! The Responder is back ! 💪

[@THESILVERNARUTO]

Just knowing Martin's in it makes me want to watch it. ADDING TO MY LIST PRONTO

[@kingkunte5479]

Martin Freeman is a brilliant actor

[@Midge2006]

Can't wait! Loved the first series and been eagerly waiting for the date for the 2nd series 😁 x

BBC does the best copper dramas

[@minislayer2010]

I had the pleasure of working on series 2 with Martin. I was only background, but, I got to chat with Martin after a scene we shared at Smithdown Lane police station. Shame it was edited out 😂

[@benedettabergamo1972]

how is he like in real life? Is it easy to work with him?

[@elaineambrose7413]

Come on when’s it back on ! The first series I was hooked

[@Adrian-bt4nf]

Series one was brilliant , hope series 2 will be as good 👍

[@delpoi]

As a scouser when I watched the first season I couldn't get over how much Martin sounds scouse I've heard other actors do it and not come close but he's nailed it which is hard to do as most go over the top and it sounds bad but he's spot on good show to ✌️

[@acechadwick]

I can't fault it and I'm from Liverpool.

[@delpoi]

@@acechadwick he's got it down well I heard other's try and fail miserably I just started the second season tonight I didn't know who was cast seeing Yosser on screen after the news today got to admit that hit me like 😢

[@rayygun]

Any Freeman fans should also check out the brilliant series The StartUp! Can't wait for a new Responder.

[@Leticiasantos-tm6dg]

A primeira temporada foi PERFEITA e Martin Freeman foi surreal, FANTÁSTICO! Ansiosa por essa segunda!👏👏

[@Alan1701b]

Oh Yes!!! Roll on 5th May!!!

[@RancidRainbow1]

Happy to see Adam Nagaitis in this!

[@FreeIvanDobsky]

Yes he’s good at being bad, and looks like he might be a piece of work in this!

[@RosieHarp]

He's intimidating without being overtly aggressive. Scary

[@RancidRainbow1]

@@RosieHarp If you haven't watched The Terror, you should watch him in that! He's amazing in it. The whole show is fantastic!

[@RancidRainbow1]

@RosieHarp Season 1 is the one Adam is in. I see it's on AMC+ and Hulu. It was in BBC iPlayer at one time but I don't think it's still there.

[@RosieHarp]

Hang on, I have seen 'The Terror'. The one about the old ship, with Ciaran Hinds as the captain. They get stuck in ice and get picked off one by one by a mystery 'thing'. Brilliant series, and yes he was great in it.

[@fluffylord]

finally💥 the trailer looks dynamic and intense

[@eliali1194]

I can not wait!!! It looks intense. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@kmcj9]

He's a brilliant actor best thing I've saw all year 👍

[@peamac1]

Love! Martin Freeman great actor

[@lynnnorbury4424]

Yes please, love Freeman.

[@mikerodent3164]

What makes me chuckle is that his character is pretty much the same one as he played in the original series of The Office. He has this tic of responding to virtually anything anyone says to him by staring blankly for about 7 seconds (i.e. a long time) and then shaking his head, for about 7 seconds, and then exploding in a fit of expostulation and "Ah don't beleeeeev it Ah don't forkin' beleeeeev it." He is the (even more grim, and Scouser) Victor Meldrew of the 2020s.

[@RosieHarp]

I noticed the staring blankly pause thing too and chuckled. I think he's good in this though.

[@master-of-mind5881]

Martin freeman goes hard!! I’m sold. Love the Scottish accent and gritty lean looked he adopted. Perfect method acting right here.

[@RosieHarp]

Scottish accent? 😆

[@Ralla74]

It's scouse!

[@reyna7100]

I have been waiting on this gor for soooo long omg

[@PopulationProblem]

Yes Dave!!!

[@user-hh8tf4tb9q]

Two great cop drama's back on BBC, Sunday night The Responder and Monday Blue Lights. Great to see both shows back.

[@EpicPianoArrangements]

Martin Freeman seemed to be in a bit of a slump a while back... but god damn he's killing it now. He was absolutely PERFECT in 'A Confession'.

[@Adam_Nagaitis]

Fire 🔥

[@Snip59]

Has it been renewed for a Third Season at all, as Blue Lights has for 3 & 4 & 5 which is great.

[@beckyann9339]

BBC please please more period dramas ❤️

[@RosieHarp]

You're in the wrong video 🙂

It's great though

[@cigarrr]

@@RosieHarp I meant I was hyped for it lol

[@RosieHarp]

@@cigarrr I see ...... :)

[@Quito266]

I am up to Series Two, Episode Four. The main character (Hero !) is a Police Man who has a failed marriage and a young daughter. He is bent and associates with Drug Dealers, Thugs, Gangsters and Low Life Criminals. There appear to be no Decent People in the entire Series. I am in two minds as to the quality of the stories, it can be gripping and also rather unbelievable. I would hate to think this reflects real life, but............

[@mathscraw3741]

And... just finished the series one out of random, and the second one comes out! Though the series 1 finale was that of a grand closing leaving with complete satisfaction, the whole series was that of a thing I've related so much and engrossed to flow.

[@izadoraoliveira508]

0:34 he sexy the series 🤤

[@The_Alchemist__]

Both series where boss. tha franny in the cap could of done without doin that over the top accent on the phone in the end episode tho

[@Frank.112]

I switched off halfway through the first episode of series 2.

[@RosieHarp]

Because ......?

[@middleman9183]

Just watched an episode. God, that was depressing! Entertainment? No thanks..........

Freeman is just so awful, every part he plays is laughable ( apart from his comedic roles ).He is now England's answer to Nicholas Cage.

[@davidbrittain3212]

Ha Ha, Clueless!!

I'm afraid you can't pin that on him in this. He's brilliant and so is the writing
