Huge congratulations to Tony Schumacher and the whole team behind THE RESPONDER (Series 2) which aired on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Sunday 5th May.
The Guardian :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Another total TV triumph! Schumacher maintains his tight control everywhere. The Responder unfolds as the first season did, like a classical tragedy, with the unswerving sense of inevitability. There are so many ways for people to be trapped and the claustrophobia builds with virtually every scene. A triumph for all involved.”
The Telegraph :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“No let-up for Tv’s most stressed-out cop in this superb drama. Series two is superb, thanks to a combination of Martin Freeman in the best role of his career, and the writing of Tony Schumacher, whose previous life as a Liverpool response officer delivers a crucial sense of authenticity.”
The Times :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“A five-star portrayal of life as an officer. Tony Schumacher’s Liverpool drama, which is based on a police officer, but is actually about real, unvarnished life, returned with as much, if not more, swagger and some of the least predictable dialogue you will find in a cop show.”
The Evening Standard :⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Brutal And Brilliant. What really stands out about Schumacher’s writing is that he not only combines thrilling drama with genuine humour, but he has an ability to gut punch the audience with devastating sadness when they’re least expecting it.”
