There are two Lifetime flicks I have to catch up on from when I was gone - this is one of them.

Someone on Reddit said the first season of this was "good" (their words), but that the second season was a hot mess!

 A six-episode thriller (based on a true story) from Abi Morgan (The Iron Lady, The Hour) set in 1980s New York, "Eric" deals with police corruption amid the NYPD's search for a missing nine-year-old boy—while the boy's grieving and increasingly unstable father (Benedict Cumberbatch), a popular TV kids show puppeteer, copes by talking to the monster [Eric] that lives under his son's bed. Also on board are stars Gaby Hoffmann, Clarke Peters, David Denman, and Dan Fogler. British series.

Just... weird.
