One of the BBC's most watched dramas of late returns to our screens. In Season 2 of "Responder," troubled detective Chris Carson is trying to get his life back on track, and as long as you have a VPN, you can watch the weekly episodes from anywhere, and for free!

Life is not easy for Liverpool police officer Chris Carson, played by the wonderful Martin Freeman. He is plagued by childhood abuse, his home life is difficult, and his police career is not going as planned.

The first season of this powerful drama saw things go from bad to worse as he became entangled in a dangerous web of deception and drug dealing. Supported by junior Rachel Hargreaves (Adelayo Adedayo), Carson survived the fateful game of cat and mouse just in time.

Carson steps into a more dangerous storyline in "Responder" Season 2 as he tries to regain the favor of his long-suffering wife Kate (MyAnna Buring) and confront his past, including his abusive father (Bernard Hill).

Season 1 of "Answer Me" was watched by millions worldwide and was nominated for four Bafta Awards. So here's how to watch "Respond" Season 2 online, from anywhere.

In the UK, "Responder" Season 2 will air on BBC One on Sundays at 9pm BST starting May 5.

Episodes are also available for free streaming on BBC iPlayer.

But what if you're a Brit abroad and don't want to miss this gritty cop drama? Don't worry; you can watch it via VPN. Here's how.

If you're a Brit abroad and want to watch "Respond" Season 2 online, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) may be the answer to your prayers.

This software is ideal for anyone who is away on vacation or business, allowing your device to appear to be back in your country, no matter where you are in the world PrivadoVPN is an excellent option for this purpose.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we said, PrivadoVPN is a great choice.

2. select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app. For example, if you are in the US and want to see UK services, select a UK-based server from the list.

3. sit back and enjoy the action; access BBC iPlayer and watch the programs.

Despite streaming Season 1 on Amazon Prime Video and BritBox, we have heard nothing so far about a US premiere date for Season 2 of The Responder

Brits who are in the US for work or vacation can stream the show by using a VPN such as PrivadoVPN and selecting the UK from the list of servers.

As in the U.S., there has been no announcement yet of a Season 2 of "The Responder" in Canada.

In the meantime, Season 1 is available on Amazon Prime Video and BritBox. Brits in Canada can watch "The Responder" Season 2 online using a VPN, as described above.

The good news is that in Canada, "Responder" Season 2 is available for free on SBS and SBS On Demand.
