Eric Review: A Fierce Benedict Cumberbatch & Stellar Supporting Cast Narrowly Save Overstuffed Show

[هَـ-ђāŵĩ-ـَاوِي]

Crafting an engaging missing persons story is no easy feat, particularly one meant to extend across six hour-long episodes, as is the case with Netflix's Eric. That said, while the show seeks to subvert expectations of its central concept with a surreal manifestation of the titular puppet monster and an ensemble of intriguing characters, it finds itself a little too weighed down by these competing elements to make for a fully engrossing watch.
