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.

Eric: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) The soundtrack alone... it's a real celluloid jukebox soundtrack. Jun 5, 2024 Full Review Eric: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Judy Berman TIME Magazine It’s only the quirkier half of Eric, an unfocused, inconsistently written, and wonderfully acted show whose ambition is admirable and originality rare in an increasingly formulaic crime genre. Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Eric: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (3) 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 Eric: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu Benedict Cumberbatch is the incendiary flame in this disturbing binge-fest of fathers, sons, husbands, wives, lovers, outsiders, insiders, corruption, love, genius, death, hope and horror Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Eric: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Rohan Naahar The Indian Express Combines the melancholy of Where the Wild Things Are and the toxic machismo of a Drishyam-era Ajay Devgn movie. Jun 9, 2024 Full Review Eric: Limited Series | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene Being this audaciously wrong is actually kind of fascinating.

Julia S I actually don't understand the bad reviews. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well the narrative came together at the end. I enjoyed watching it and found the socially critical component particularly successful. I liked the detective best. Very good played. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Anthony B NY in the 80's was a seedy time and thus had seedy characters. Belcher III was methodical , borderline frustrating but was , i felt the true star of the show. Cumberland is a top tier actor but he really didn't get far out of character has he has always been socially awkward. if you want 6 episodes of just straight "looking for the missing kid" watch Tracker but if you want some grit and side stories that gave you slice of NY in the 80's this is your show. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Marcelo M The series navigates well through the complexity of the main character, supported by a brilliant performance by Cumberbatch... and fellow actors and actresses. Holds you through multiple ideas on who's to blame for the disappearing of a child and a love-and-hate relationship with all main characters. Ends timely before it stretches too much but with an unnecessary eloquent park scene that is not bad enough to spoil the whole experience but should be edited out. A good one to add to your watchlist. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Robbie R It almost made it but then came the last ep. Obviously where the executives walked in and said fluff it up a bit and make it super happy. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Emily W Had so much potential. I love Benedict Cumberbatch but even he couldn’t save this train wreck. Where do you find these writers? Terrible. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Jack L Painfully bad. Unpleasant from the start. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
