Synopsis
James Patterson’s series of novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross
Hodges is the third actor to portray Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first portrayed him on screen in the 1997 film Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 film sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in the 2012 film Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and caused Lionsgate to scrap its previously planned sequel Double Cross. I just finished all eight episodes of Cross, and I have to say that I absolutely loved it.
Aldis Hodges gives a stellar performance as Alex Cross here
I’ve been looking forward to it since I first heard about it, so I had pretty high hopes. Well, this show not only lived up to those expectations, it exceeded them in every way.
That movie was trash, this series is fantastic
There was an Alex Cross movie that came out in 2012 starring Tyler Perry that was just awful. Please don’t let that put you off watching this one because they are different in every way.
Another great adaptation for Amazon Prime
They have done an amazing job with TV series adaptations (Reacher, Fallout, Lord of the Rings, Jack Ryan, The Boys, Bosch, The Wheel of Time, Daisy Jones and the Six, Good Omens, etc., etc.). Amazon believes in this show so much that they already renewed it for another season before the first episode aired.
