‘Eric’ Review: Benedict Cumberbatch, Imaginary Puppets, and a WTF Ending


Listen Later

Charles Holmes and Jodi Walker fight with the monster under the bed to recap ‘Eric,’ the six-episode limited Netflix series starring Benedict Cumberbatch. They start by discussing their complicated reactions to the pilot, why the subplots are much more interesting than the main story line, and how the narrative becomes increasingly convoluted as the show progresses (2:06). Along the way, they unpack its attempts to tackle an overwhelming number of heavy themes throughout the bizarre crime drama (18:01). Later, they talk through the tonal whiplash and surprising twists in the finale (23:49).


Hosts: Charles Holmes and Jodi Walker

Producer: Kai Grady

Additional Production Support: Justin Sayles
