This could honestly be the best year for new movies and TV shows, and Netflix is one of the best streaming services out there, packed with engaging content every month. The highly anticipated "Bridgerton" Season 3 finally releases this month, as well as fun movies like "Mother of the Bride" and "Atlas," but the standout on this list is "Eric."

Benedict Cumberbatch stars in this psycho-thriller series. Rumors about the release date of "Eric" circulated the Internet back in February, and now, three months later, the trailer has finally been released.

The trailer itself is 2:30 minutes long and gives us just enough information to get us excited about the series, which will be released on May 30. We also get to see some familiar faces like Dan Fogler ("Fantastic Beasts") and Gaby Hoffman ("The Goodbye World"), whom we all know.

Suffice it to say that the trailer certainly grabbed my attention, and seeing how powerful Cumberbatch's performance as the desperate father will be only heightened my expectations. See:

"Eric" follows a distraught father, Vincent (Cumberbatch), as he struggles to overcome the demons in his head in search of his missing son Edgar. Vincent is a famous puppeteer in New York City, and his work has made Edgar fall in love with a particular puppet monster named Eric. Vincent is convinced that there is some hope for this doll and shows it on live television, hoping that his son will come home.

McKinley Belcher III also stars as Michael Ledroit, a dedicated detective involved in the investigation, who discovers some disturbing facts deep in New York City.

The six-part series will show Vincent's emotional trauma and his guilt for walking his son to school on that horrific morning. It also reveals how desperation can destroy relationships around us.

Cumberbatch is actually the executive producer of the show; he told The Hollywood Reporter: "Parenting, marriage, mental health, the AIDS epidemic, and the ongoing homophobic and racist crisis.

I truly believe that "Eric" has the potential to rank alongside "Baby Reindeer" and "Bridgerton" on the list of most-watched films. In fact, it may even take Netflix's No. 1 spot. That's because it has very prolific actors and an engaging story that will probably make you experience every possible emotion.

Since this psycho-thriller is only six episodes long, it is possible that "Eric" will not linger in terms of pacing. In other words, every second must count, and miniseries tend to work very well because they are condensed.

Judging by the trailer alone, "Eric" looks to take us on a very raw and emotional journey, with Cumberbatch showing his talent as the lead.

"Eric" premieres on May 30 and can be streamed on Netflix. For more of Netflix's best shows to watch while waiting for this thriller series to be released, read our guide here.
