Story
The series is an adaptation of James Patterson’s 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 And Here Comes the Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which flopped at the box office and forced Lionsgate to scrap a planned sequel, Double Cross. Despite never having read the source material for James Patterson’s books, I had heard about Alex Cross long before this TV show came into production.
It’s definitely something I knew I wanted to do, and I did
a lot. Aldis Hodge is an up-and-coming and underrated actor, and he absolutely kills it as Alex Cross.
He studies victims to better understand who killed them
The series tells the story of Cross, a homicide detective and forensic psychologist in the District of Columbia. Here he tracks down a serial killer with his partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), who is also connected to his past.
The best thing about this show is that it is never boring
In addition to being a detective, he is also a family man and strives to be the best at both. That is the least you want from a show, to be involved in the story and never get bored.
