I recently watched the Netflix mini series, Eric, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch. The series is set in 1980’s New York and follows Vincent whose son goes missing. There is also a lot of puppets… but not the creepy kind, honest. The show deals with a whole load of issues from addiction, racism, homophobia, wealth and corruption. It asks questions that are …
