" Derek star Kerry Godliman has said that she received only &amp;quot;lovely feedback&amp;quot; about the first series. The Channel 4 comedy received mixed reviews from critics, but Godliman - who plays Hannah - insisted the public&amp;#039;s reaction was &amp;quot;a blanket response of nice-ness&amp;quot;.  &amp;quot;I wish I was more like Hannah,&amp;quot; the actress said. &amp;quot;She&amp;#039;s so good \u2013 she&amp;#039;s going straight to Heaven, that woman &amp;quot;She has the capacity to be very aggressive and it&amp;#039;s probably not something she&amp;#039;s proud of, but those scenes are very effective dramatically because you&amp;#039;re playing with the duality of human behaviour. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s very easy especially with women characters to make them very broad \u2013 the mother or the bitch or the whore \u2013 so you&amp;#039;re playing around with those archetypes. &amp;quot;Hannah might mother you or she might nut you! But only if it&amp;#039;s totally justified aggression!&amp;quot;  Co-star Holli Dempsey (Vicky) agreed that Derek gives the viewer &amp;quot;an insight into real people&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;You don&amp;#039;t just want to hate [the bad characters] you want to feel a bit sorry for them, &amp;#039;cos that&amp;#039;s real life,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;People aren&amp;#039;t horrible for no reason - there&amp;#039;s usually something behind it.&amp;quot; Derek returns to Channel 4 on April 23 and will be available to US residents via Netflix from May 30.
