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.

CRITICS REVIEWS

View All (56) Critics Reviews
Camilla Long Times (UK) To watch this show is to be thrown, like a pinball, from
unlikely scenario to unlikely, confusing scenario, as Vincent’s mind starts to
disintegrate... Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Hugo Rifkind Times (UK) ... Let’s just
say it’s good, but also a tad baggy. Atmospherically, it reminded me often of
David Simon’s The Deuce. Cumberbatch is thoroughly convincing as a bitter,
snappy and often quite nasty children’s entertainer. May 31, 2024 Full Review
John Anderson Wall Street Journal Viewers in toto might be put off by the
story’s seemingly flippant segue into hallucination, but “Eric” has a meaningful
destination, and considerable momentum. May 31, 2024 Full Review Barbara Ellen
Observer (UK) Though far from a disaster (the first two episodes alone are
better than most thrillers), I was expecting more. Rated: 3/5 •  Jun 3, 2024
Full Review Martin Carr martincarr.co.uk This Abi Morgan melodrama might be
marketed off the back of Benedict Cumberbatch, but there is so much more to Eric
than that. Be sure to check out this awesome character study at the easiest
opportunity and regret nothing. Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Álvaro Onieva Fotogramas
While the journey has been moderately enjoyable, let no one persuade us into
believing that this is the quality series that 'Eric' thinks it is. [Full review
in Spanish] Rated: 6/10 •  Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews


AUDIENCE REVIEWS

View All (24) audience reviews
ghetto b Good acting and production, but the story and narrative was awful. This
should’ve just been a movie, not a mini series. Everything was built up for no
reason, and the detective/cop storyline was completely pointless and had no
impact in finding the kid. If anything they made it worse. By the end, you
realize the kid just sucks and you don’t really care about him Rated 0.5/5 Stars
•  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Sarah M I thought it was good.
Interesting from start to finish, and the acting was believable. Rated 4.5/5
Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Audience Member What a
mess. "Eric" can't decide if it's a thriller or a family melodrama. Child goes
missing and THEN...it gets really grim. A joyless mess. I had to fast forward
some of it. The ending was truly unsatisfactory--so pat and yet unctious--with a
"surprise" that you couldn't care less about. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of
5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review Pauline W Nope. Just nope. Loved cumberbatch in
sherlock but his acting abilities cannot stretch to a drug and alcohol addled
bad father. Neither father nor child are likeable characters so you end not
caring what happens to the child. Or to anyone in the show, apart from maybe the
Detective. The addition of the brutal death of Marlon seems like an addition to
make this awful series meatier, more poignant when perhaps it should have been
the sole focus. Its also way too long and could be 2 episodes. Altogether
rubbish. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full Review John D
The limited series concept was great, covering topics of homosexuality, child
molestation, family and homeless crisis. The problem is, the boy actor was
horrible and unbelievable and people didn't act like New Yorkers then. Other
than that, good series Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/03/24 Full
Review Joakim S Benadryl cabbagepatch is really good in it, but at the same time
you realize he has his limits as an actor - his old roles characters slipps
through some times, and its a bit to hard not to notice. Over all: worth a
watch. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Read
