In Netflix show "Eric," Benedict Cumberbatch plays a callous puppeteer whose son goes missing in 1980s New York. Here's how it all ends (spoilers!).

Benedict Cumberbatch and Gaby Hoffman are exceptional in Netflix's 1980s-set series "Eric" which is about much more than a missing child case.

ERIC is an online library of education research and information, sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences (IES) of the U.S. Department of Education.

ERIC is the world's most widely used index to educational-related literature. Established in 1966, ERIC is supported by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Educational Research and Improvement. ERIC is the largest education database in the world — containing over one million records of journal articles, research reports, curriculum and teaching guides, conference papers, and books.

ERIC (Education Resources Information Center) is an authoritative database of indexed and full-text education literature and resources. Sponsored by the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education, it is an essential tool for education researchers of all kinds.

Eric is essentially a drama about dealing with the open wound that a missing person (particularly a child) leaves behind. In this respect it is a darkly comic watch because of the juxtaposition of the pain (arguments, anger, profanity, alcoholism) against the child like muppet show style characters.
