Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for Abi Morgan’s Eric, an upcoming psychological thriller miniseries starring the likes of Benedict Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffmann.
Cumberbatch plays Vincent, a 1980s New York puppeteer who tries to search for his lost son, Edgar, with the help of a big blue puppet.
