SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Eric star Benedict Cumberbatch and creator Abi Morgan explain the Netflix show's ending. Debuting on Netflix in May 2024, the psychological thriller focuses on Vincent , a puppeteer whose nine-year-old son, Edgar, has gone missing during the 1980s in New York.
Abi Morgan: I didn’t want the audience to say that was a happy ending. That was an uncomfortable ending. There is relief, because everyone wants a child to find their way home to their parents. But for me, there is also an ache at the end of the show, and it is a very deliberate and intentional ache that we should all feel. It is palpable and important that it is present. If it isn’t, then this is just another TV show that used the trope of a kid disappearing as entertainment.
Eric's Ending Maintains A Difficult Balance The Netflix Series Concludes On A Bittersweet Note. Close It's a happy moment when the two are brought back together, with Cumberbatch's character having to fight off his own demons to reach that point, but not all is solved. It's a happy moment when the two are brought back together, with Cumberbatch's character having to fight off his own demons to reach that point, but not all is solved. There's a sense of unease when Edgar tries to dress up as Eric, the titular blue monster, which shows that Vincent's experience is still scarring. However, the show still acknowledges how fortunate Vincent is, partially because of his wealth.
