Synopsis
Adaptation of James Patterson’s series of novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross
Hodge is the third actor to play Cross, following in the footsteps of 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. While I’ve never read any of the source material from James Patterson’s books, I still heard about Alex Cross long before the TV show started.
I knew for sure I would like it, and I did
a lot. Aldis Hodge is an up-and-coming and underrated actor who absolutely rocks as Alex Cross.
He studies victims to better understand who killed them
The series follows Cross, who is an award-winning homicide detective and forensic psychologist in D.C. Here he tracks a serial killer with his partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), who is also involved in his past.
The best thing about this show is that it never gets boring
He’s not only a detective, but he’s also a family man, and he’s determined to excel at both. The least you want from a show is to be invested in the story and never get bored.
