Plot Synopsis
Created, written, and executive produced by Abi Morgan and set in 1980s Manhattan, ERIC is a six-episode limited drama series that follows the desperate search of a father when his nine-year-old son disappears one morning on the way to school. Vincent, one of New York's leading puppeteers and creator of the hugely popular children's television show, "Good Day Sunshine," struggles to cope with the loss of his son, Edgar, becoming increasingly distressed and volatile. Full of self-loathing and guilt around Edgar's disappearance, he clings to his son's drawings of a blue monster puppet, ERIC, convinced that if he can get ERIC on TV then Edgar will come home. As Vincent's progressively destructive behavior alienates his family, his work colleagues, and the detectives trying to help him, it's Eric, a delusion of necessity, who becomes his only ally in the pursuit to bring his son home. All six episodes of ERIC dropped on Thursday, May 30, 2024 on Netflix.
