In the show, which was written by Abi Morgan (Shame, Suffragette), Cumberbatch plays Vincent, the puppeteer father of a child that goes missing in New York who tries to find his son by creating an enormous furry puppet, which he names Eric, that the kid had been doodling before he disappeared.
The six-part psychological thriller is streaming in full now on Netflix after its May 30 release. Watch the trailer below:
In a three-star review of the series, NME wrote: “Eric does, undoubtedly, have valid things to say about racial politics in the US – as well as how terrible it is to suppress your true identity. But saying them in this way has created a muddled show that may be trying too many things at once.”
The show was first commissioned by Netflix in 2021, with Morgan developing the script alongside Lucy Forbes (This Is Going To Hurt).
