Synopsis
Top puppeteer and television creator Vincent turns to a puppet monster for answers while searching for his missing son
In 1980s New York City, Vincent is a highly successful puppeteer and creator of the Good Day Sunshine children’s television series. But when his 9-year-old son Edgar suddenly disappears, Vincent’s life starts to fall apart. In his distress, he turns toward Eric, a giant blue monster puppet, as a guiding source in the case — even as he increasingly alienates his allies in the real world.

Benedict Cumberbatch stars as an increasingly unhinged father in Netflix’s psychological thriller
Eric is a psychological thriller-drama limited series produced for Netflix.
