Martin Freeman like you never have before. The English actor plays a disheartened cop in the gritty BritBox drama,, and only ET has the exclusive first look at the intense trailer for the series inspired by real-life events. Created by Tony Schumacher, whose past serves as the basis for the series, sees Martin starring as Chris Carson, a Liverpool cop, whose night after night facing crime, violence and addiction on the streets has begun to fuel his own personal demons. The series plays out over one week as Chris gets paired with a rookie partner, Rachel (Adelayo Adedayo), and becomes bent on saving the life of a young addict trapped in a deadly dilemma.
The more he loses his way, the more destabilized his work, marriage and mental health become. Ahead of ’s debut in May, Schumacher opened up to ET about drawing inspiration from his own past and what Freeman brings to the series. In some way I feel that I am “the responder” to a degree and that this is my story. I was a police responder who was out in the rain at all hours, chasing people up and down alleyways and running over rats.
I quit the police because I was cracking up and I had this overwhelming urge to write about it. I was really struggling mentally and I needed to get away and find myself. Coming from a place of knowing that [police] world completely, I really wanted it to be as real as it could possibly be.
I wanted to show audiences that people are three-dimensional and it’s not enough to say they are good or bad. It’s not all about blue flashing lights and running down alleyways.
