Benedict Cumberbatch Stars in Dark Netflix Crime Drama 'Eric'
Netflix's new limited series "Eric" stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Vincent Anderson, a troubled puppeteer in 1985 Manhattan whose son goes missing. The dark crime drama, devoid of comedy, explores themes of mental illness, addiction, and social issues through Vincent's psychological deterioration and his interactions with a hallucinated puppet named Eric. Despite some unrealistic plot points, the series is compelling with strong performances and a unique visual style.
