Eric
"The real monsters aren't under the bed."
Overview
A desperate father, alongside a tenacious cop, battles his own demons on the streets of 1980s New York as he searches for his missing nine-year-old son.
Against the backdrop of 1980s New York City, Eric centers on a father spiraling as his nine-year-old son disappears. The miniseries grounds a frantic mystery in the psyche of a public television puppeteer who begins to believe that his own handiwork holds the key to his child's relocation.
Benedict Cumberbatch portrays a man struggling with both his crumbling domestic life and the abrasive reality of the city streets. The tension between his professional dedication to comfort and his private volatility defines the show. By weaving a puppet into the investigation, the thriller side-steps common procedural tropes to focus on how guilt and obsession alter a parent’s perception of reality.
