I was monitoring this very short review all the day and they haven’t deleted it so I guess there is not problem with the embargo. Maybe? Also it’s an awarded publication so I guess they are big enough to not worry about it. www.tortoisemedia.com/2024/05/24/eric-netflix-from-30-may/So we have this one and the two deleted others by blogs/semi-amateurs. Two are very positive and apparently the third was negative or mixed but the three of them seemed to say that BC is the outstanding part of the series. We will see what happens next week when the embargo is finally lifted.

That sounds very Happy-ish.

I’m trying to decide whether this sounds like something I’d want to watch even if Benedict wasn’t in it - and yes, it is! Just the fact that it’s strange or different is a big draw for me.
Netflix hasn’t made a lot of sense to me lately, though. They keep insisting that the terrible-sounding Atlas is a 98% match for me! Huh? There is nothing whatsoever that appeals for me: I don’t like Jennifer Lopez, science-fiction, action-adventure nonsense, tons of special effects. I wonder if they’re thinking that a female lead would attract female viewers?

If you like weird you should watch Happy!
Premise:
A dying detective starts seeing an animated figure called Happy after paramedics succeed in reviving him. Happy begs him to rescue its human friend who is held captive by a man dressed as Santa Claus.
The human friend is the (ex) detective daughter and Happy is her (at least, initially) imaginary friend.
That's why people are saying Eric is similar to it.
The second season starts more normal and then it gets weirder which isn't easy because S01 is very weird. Happy is also violent like some comico books are. The lead character is kind of awful. In S02 he's trying to do/be batter.
I think I watched on Netflix, probanly during the lockdown.

It seems they don’t have any idea! By the way, they also thought the trailer was “unintentionally funny”. I mean, yeah, the tone was very sordid and dramatic but why would you believe that you are super smart to noticed that using a sentiment giant puppet to resolve a crime is kinda silly and the creators not? Maybe, just maybe the ridiculous creature is part of the plot and the challenge… that’s the point!
That’s why I am not that sure that the embargo really will lift next Tuesday. They wrote that the series is in the 1990s instead of the 1980s so maybe they wanted to say Thursday instead of Tuesday! It just seem they don’t have an editor telling them about their errors!
