TV series based on the Alex Cross novels by James Patterson
Alex Cross uses forensic psychology to analyze the minds of killers, delving into the psyches of his victims to identify and bring the killers to justice. Aldis Hodge discusses playing the lead role and creating the crime drama “Cross,” what he should be known for as an actor and producer, and his commitment to promoting diverse narratives through his producing work. Hodge is the third actor to portray 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 the 2012 film Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and prompted Lionsgate to scrap a previously planned sequel, Double Cross.
Aldis Hodge plays the role of Alex Cross here
I just finished binge-watching all eight episodes of Cross and I have to say I absolutely loved it. I’ve been looking forward to it since I first heard about it, so I had pretty high expectations. Well, this show not only lived up to those expectations, it exceeded them in every way.
Another great Amazon Prime adaptation
There was an Alex Cross movie in 2012 starring Tyler Perry, which was just awful. Don’t let that put you off watching this one, because they are completely different in every way. That movie was crap, this series is fantastic.

They’ve done an amazing job adapting TV series (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 is so confident in this show that it’s already renewed it for another season before the first episode even airs.
