46/26
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.. I’m a fan of the Alex Cross books and was pleased to see an actor that fit the bill, at last.
Ryan Eggold didn’t disappoint and played a blinder with his part
He played the character well with just the right amount of aggression and emotion. He proved how versatile he can be with Blacklist and New Amsterdam.
It was dismal and often made the series difficult to watch
I would’ve given a much higher score had I been able to actually see who was on the screen at any given time. The lighting technician was having a laugh with the dark, beyond moody and atmospheric set lighting.
I’m not the only one who feels this way
I loved the plot but hated the inadequate lighting needed to follow the story. I hope that there will be another series and they read all the reviews.
