Benedict Cumberbatch looking unhappy and Eric the puppet in Netflix's Eric

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Benedict Cumberbatch's new TV show, Eric, is officially streaming on Netflix — and the series flips his Sherlock role in an intriguing way. Eric is set in 1980s New York, and the Netflix series chronicles the disappearance of nine-year-old Edgar Anderson. Cumberbatch plays Eric's father, Vincent Anderson, who has a tense relationship with his son when the series opens.

Related Is Netflix's Eric Based On A True Story? Eric’s realistic 1980s setting and gritty true crime elements make it feel like a true story, but how much of the Netflix series is based in reality? His character may have cockiness in common with Sherlock Holmes, but that's where the similarities end.

Why Eric Is A Great TV Show For Sherlock Fans The Mystery Elements Will Appeal To Them Eric has a very different tone from Netflix's Sherlock, but those who enjoy the mystery elements of the series — and Cumberbatch's acting — will likely appreciate the other show. Sherlock offers the opportunity to follow more intriguing cases and see the actor play a completely different type of character. It may not be up every Eric fan's alley, but it's worth giving it a shot.
