‘Eric’: Benedict Cumberbatch stars in limited drama series that packs in too much

The six-episode Netflix series has dirty cops, corrupt politicians, greedy businessmen and child sex traffickers.

Benedict Cumberbatch’s Vincent is followed around by Eric, a monster invented by his missing son, in “Eric.” Cumberbatch also voices Eric.

“We have to bridge the gap between the preschoolers and the elementary kids,” one says. “That’s where the cool kids are.” In the morning, as his parents argue about whether he’s too young for Vincent to allow to walk to school on his own, Edgar does just that — although he never makes it to school. The strongest performance is turned in by Belcher . If Vincent is the show’s pulsing heartbeat, Ledroit is its soul, a closeted gay man who lives with his secret lover, William . A former detective in the vice unit, the well-intentioned and determined Ledroit can’t stay away from a shady nightclub on Edgar’s path to school, which angers his boss — especially after Ledroit has a run-in with current vice cops.
