"You know, it don't take much to give bad thoughts wings." - George
Right out the bat, I'll say episode 3 is a good episode, possibly the best one so far. "Eric" continues to sway its audience by strong all-round performances from most of its cast, as well as having a keen eye on detailed portrayal of the mystery itself. Add to that the true whirlwind of emotions we face during this episode, and "Episode 3" creates a continuation of its centred storyline.
For the some events, it's the first time we witness the accompanying emotions that go with them. Apart from the regular dish of anger, sadness and, at pivotal times, disbelief, we are also faced with pride and a mild amount of happiness. This of course stands in bleak comparison to the actual arc that's being told, and it makes for an interesting impression on not only the characters in "Eric", but also on us, as viewers. A lot of the episode's key moments are tucked away in fast but small scenes, intersecting the main story quite well. There remains some convolution in plot development, but it all seems to fit together nicely in the grand scheme of things.
Not much else can be said about this third installment of the mini series; it's a strong entry in so far compelling story, created in an alternate way from most other darker mystery dramas. The method of playing out contraries continues to bode well for the advance of the central mystery. One other aspect perhaps aiding a more immersive experience from watching episode 3, more so than its two predecessors, is the room for significant change in Vincent's kit of emotions. As the plot develops further and previously loose ends seem to work toward closure, part 3 of "Eric" scores an 8 out of 10.
