Plot
A TV 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 played him on screen in 1997’s Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and led Lionsgate to scrap a previously planned sequel, Double Cross.
The best-selling book series by James Patterson
But the series waxes and wanes with an extended 8-episode run that doesn’t justify its launch.
If only creator Ben Watkins had kept the script tighter and focused on the investigative elements rather than the main character’s personal struggles, this could have been a groundbreaking series
Ryan Eggold, Samantha Walkes, and Isaiah Mustafa shine in their supporting roles, but it’s Eloise Mumford and Karen Robinsen who command the attention and even manage to steal the spotlight from Aldis Hodge’s stellar performance.
It’s watchable, but don’t expect “Reacher” or “Sugar” levels
