Tensions rise for Vincent in "Eric."

Eric on Netflix is fantastic.

Great narrative, and social /historical references, yet no specific year or city.

It alludes to NYC and the mid to late 80s HIV and Aids crisis is so smart.

It addresses homelessness, homophobia, mental health, and addiction issues.

I recommend it

While Im firing off hot takes: I finished#Ericon Netflix and its… kind of a debacle?

Just finished Eric on Netflix and what started as a Cumberbatch, Puppets, Mystery?

This is made for me!

led to me watching an incredible commentary on the 80s, fatherhood, racism, and corruption.

It felt like something Jim Henson would have been proud ofpic.twitter.com/h9UVHPwS92
