This week, I share my thoughts and reflections on the deeper meanings behind the popular Netflix show, Eric.

Set in 1980s New York, the thriller series brings to screen many harsher realities of the period it reflects.Eric wants to say something about systemic racism, police brutality, the unhoused, 1980s homophobia, mental illness, and parenting, among other things

There are so many ways to interpret the show - but I'll focus on the one that stood out to me and really my quest to emotional health.

One of my favourite lines from the show:

"Eric is a monster, yes, Eric is that which we fear true. Eric is the shadow that lurks behind us all or Lies under the bed. But he is also, YOU, and you, and you, and all of us. He is the very best and very worst of all of us. He is the monster that walks with us side by side, he's the monster that every child wants when they are lost. And need to be found."

The real monsters are not under the bed, they are within each and every one of us. Are they your friend, foe, or stranger?

Who is YOUR "Eric"?
