Story
Series adaptation of James Patterson novels about the complicated and brilliant detective, Alex Cross
Hodge is the third actor to portray Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first played him onscreen in 1997’s Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 movie sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the titular character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and led Lionsgate to scrap the preplanned sequel Double Cross.. The James Patterson novels were some of my favorite and to me Aldis Hodge is a perfect Alex Cross.
Their interaction at his birthday party was golden
Always liked his character on Leverage, but this role shows another range of his acting chops. Can’t go further without saying Ryan Eggold plays a perfectly evil villain.
My kind of slow burn
The storyline moves along to reveal surprises and unexpected relationships. I will agree with another commenter that the editing needs to lighten up the scenes.
Way too dark and detracts from the viewing
Character development is strong and it’s easy to buy in to the friendships and family dynamics. Hope they plan on making this a regular series.
