What to Know

Critics Consensus

Startlingly disturbing despite its outwardly fuzzy appearance, Eric is a perverse genre-bender that may not fully articulate all of its ideas but offers a memorably demented binge.

It's not so much that Vincent is an unlikable character. It’s that he’s an incredibly annoying one. Go to Full Review Graeme Blundell The Australian 06/14/2024
The show's ambition, its empathy, central performances and committed direction make for compulsive, if at times harrowing, viewing... Go to Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) 06/05/2024

4.5/5
An unconventional and original miniseries that intrigues and moves in equal measure. (...) Without a doubt, one of the best series of the year. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Ally Ham The Review Geek 10/08/2024
There are plenty of twists and turns to keep you engaged when watching this crime drama. Still, Eric struggles under the weight of everything it tries to accomplish. Go to Full Review Diane Carson KDHX (St. Louis) 08/07/2024
With enough issues for several series, “Eric” masterfully interweaves personal and professional crises with incisive, sobering social critiques devoid of melodramatic exploitation. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Carlos T Oct 27 Filme: ERIC Elenco: @bencumberbatchbr @mckinleybcubed Ivan Howe, @foglersfictions @hephnerjeff_ish Modelo: #drama Duração: 6 episódio Ano: 2024 Minha opinião: Uma boa atuação de Benedict nesta série. Onde temos Vincent (Benedict) tendo um programa de TV que trabalha com marionetes e ele faz o trabalho de ventrículo. Sempre sendo uma pessoa confiante em si. E toda a equipe apenas obedece. Mas as coisas pioram quando seu filho desaparece e para tentar despertar a atenção dele e encontra-lo. Usa o amigo imaginário do filho e cria um personagem. E isto ajuda a elevar novamente a audiência do programa que estava em baixa. Porém há uma mudança para pior de sua atitudes, e isso afasta as pessoas, até o momento que tomam o seu programa e neste momento de crise. A série vai mostrando toda a transformação mental de Vincent. Ao final Vicent fantasiado corre na direção do filho que estava voltando para a casa após ver o pai na TV. Vale apena assistir? Se não tiver outra opção. Nota: 5 See more Sue B Oct 22 This movie has absolutely no redeeming qualities. The characters are sad and unlikable, not to mention downright depressing. Don't bother watching See more Alexis C Sep 27 Benedict is obviously amazing in everything he is in and this is a proof that one great actor can carry a series. The main detective Ledroit was infuriating to watch as the acting was so unbelievable. Felt no life through his acting actually felt nothing from his acting which destroyed this series for me. The creativity and concept is so beautiful and creative and I just wish the casting was better. BENEDICT AND GABY CARRIED THIS SHOW. See more gabby M. @aanngabby Sep 14 I love this , must watch! See more Bessie B Sep 1 no...just go watch wilfred See more Mark M May 28 Nice atmospheric 1980s NYC. Set against background of AIDS epidemic. Interesting and unique writing. I believe the writers husband has some similar syndromes. Gritty and dark in parts. The rich father bit was a bit predictable and worn but generally excellent short series See more Read all reviews
