Plot
Series adaptation of James Patterson’s novels about the complicated and brilliant detective Alex Cross
Hodge is the third actor to portray Cross, following Morgan Freeman, who first portrayed him on screen in 1997’s Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 film sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which was a box office flop and led to Lionsgate scrapping its previously planned sequel, Double Cross. Although I’ve never read any source material from James Patterson’s books of films, I still heard about Alex Cross long before this TV show was in production.
It’s definitely something I knew I would enjoy and I did… a lot
Aldis Hodge is an underrated, up-and-coming actor and he absolutely nails it as Alex Cross. The series follows Cross, a decorated DC homicide detective and forensic psychologist who studies victims to better understand who killed them.
The best thing about this show is that it never gets boring
Here he hunts down a serial killer with his partner, John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), who also has ties to his past. In addition to being a detective, he is also a family man and is dedicated to being excellent at both.
Cross does that
That’s the least you want from a show, to be involved in the story and never get bored.
