- TriviaHodge 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.
Featured review
Aldis Hodge is electric as the titular cop "Alex Cross", based on the bestselling book series by James Patterson. But the series waxes and wanes with a prolonged 8-episode run that does not justify its runtime. Ryan Eggold, Samantha Walkes and Isaiah Mustafa shine in their supporting roles but it is Eloise Mumford and Karen Robinsen who catch the eye and even manage to steal the spotlight from Aldis Hodge's towering lead performance. If only creator Ben Watkins had kept the script tighter and focused on the investigative elements rather than the lead character's personal struggles, this could have been a path-breaking series. A watchable one, but don't expect the levels of "Reacher" or "Sugar".
