Narrative
A TV series adaptation of James Patterson’s novels about the complicated and brilliant detective Alex Cross
Hodge is the third actor to play Cross, following Morgan Freeman, who first portrayed 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 2012’s Alex Cross, which flopped at the box office and led Lionsgate to cancel a previously planned sequel, Double Cross. I’m a fan of Alex Cross’ books and was glad to finally see an actor who fit the bill.
Ryan Eggold didn’t disappoint and gave a great performance
He played the character well with just the right amount of aggression and emotion. He showed how versatile he can be with The Blacklist and New Amsterdam.
It was depressing and often made the show difficult to watch
I would have given it a much higher score if I could have seen who was on screen at any given time. The lighting designer laughed at the dark lighting, which took away from the melancholic and atmospheric nature of the scene.
I’m not the only one who thinks this way
I loved the plot, but I hated the lack of lighting needed to follow the story. I hope there is another season and that you read all the reviews.
