Eric Trailer Review : Netflix’s latest crime thriller series, Eric, just dropped its inaugural trailer, and it’s exceeding expectations with its surreal vibe. Headlined by Benedict Cumberbatch, known for his role as Doctor Strange in Marvel’s cinematic universe, Eric Trailer initially seemed like your standard mystery-thriller from the streaming titan. However, the trailer suggests it’s anything but ordinary. But why take my word for it? Dive into the official trailer and see for yourself.

Initially, the teaser hints at a familiar narrative within this genre realm. However, as it unfolds, we’re treated to authentic instances of light-heartedness and optimism, alongside some thematically dark and surprisingly offbeat moments, signaling that it’s set to defy genre norms more than anticipated.

the official synopsis of Eric Trailer as provided by Netflix:

Set in 1980s New York, Eric Trailer is a gripping emotional thriller crafted by Abi Morgan, revolving around the frantic quest of a father after his nine-year-old son vanishes one morning en route to school. Vincent, a renowned puppeteer in New York and the creative mind behind the beloved children’s TV show ‘Good Day Sunshine’, grapples with the agony of his son Edgar’s disappearance, growing increasingly anguished and unstable.

Consumed by self-blame and remorse over Edgar’s vanishing act, he clings to his son’s sketches of a blue monster puppet named Eric, fervently believing that putting Eric on television will bring Edgar back. As Vincent’s downward spiral estranges him from his family, colleagues, and the detectives aiding his search, Eric—a figment born of desperation—emerges as his sole confidant in the relentless pursuit to reunite with his son.

Abi Morgan, known for works like “Sex Traffic” and “Suffragette,” takes the reins as head writer, creator, and executive producer, while Lucy Forbes, acclaimed for “This Is Going to Hurt” and “The End of the F*****g World,” helms the directorial duties.

Eric delves beyond the singular narrative of a father’s frantic search for his missing child. In a statement accompanying the trailer, BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning Morgan disclosed that her latest endeavor will confront the socio-political realities that shaped New York during the 1980s.
