Eric is the third most-watched series on Netflix this week, racking in 6.8 million views as subscribers flock to watch Benedict Cumberbatch’s new psychological thriller about a puppeteer whose son goes missing.
Set in 1980s New York City, Cumberbatch’s Vincent is already in an unhappy marriage but his life is turned even further upside down when his nine-year-old son, Edgar, disappears. This prompts him to make a new puppet called Eric – inspired by one of his son’s ideas – to try and help track him down.
