Figure out whether Eric is just a puppet or more in Netflix’s new limited mystery series. Vincent Anderson (Benedict Cumberbatch) is a puppeteer going through a slew of personal and professional struggles. However, when his son, Edgar (Ivan Morris Howe) goes missing on his way to school, Vincent’s life and sanity spiral out of control.

The father-son dynamic is complicated. It seems the relationship between Vincent and Edgar is strained from the start, despite the familiarities between them: Edgar has an artistic flair, like his father, and has begun to share pictures of a furry monster that he named Eric.

Maybe Eric can bring him home? Unaware of whether Eric is a friendly or menacing monster, Vincent decides to make it a puppet and eventually feature it on a show hoping that Edgar would see it and feel compelled to come home. But things get even stranger when Vincent starts seeing Eric and communicating with it.

Let’s not forget that it’s also a detective story. Set in gritty New York City, Michael Ledroit (McKinley Belcher III) is the detective on Edgar’s case and we get to experience his journey through the chaos. This adds a layer of realism to a story that appears to be more supernatural.

WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the series on Netflix or catch the trailer (watchtrailer,runtime 2:14).
