Eric
Benedict Cumberbatch takes center stage in the dark, gripping drama ‘Eric’. Directed by Abi Morgan, this tale embeds viewers into the murky world of 1980s New York, where Vincent, a genius puppeteer played by Cumberbatch, navigates the upheaval following his son Edgar’s mysterious disappearance. As he immerses himself in his son’s drawings of a puppet named Eric, Vincent becomes convinced that bringing Eric to life on TV will reunite him with Edgar.
According to Morgan, ‘Eric is a dark and crazy journey into the heart of 1980’s New York, and the good bad and ugly world of Vincent.’
With subplots involving police corruption and the AIDS crisis, the series provides a detailed examination of Vincent as a product of his malignant environment.
