Aldis Hodge discusses starring and making crime drama ‘Cross’
Scenario
A series adaptation of James Patterson’s novels about the complicated and brilliant detective Alex Cross. what he is known for as an actor and producer, and his commitment to promoting diverse narratives through his production work. Hodge is the third actor to play Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first played him on screen in 1997. #39.
I haven’t watched the whole series yet, so I can only comment
in 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 bombed at the box office and prompted Lionsgate to drop the previously planned sequel, Double Cross. the first 3 episodes, but I’m definitely drawn to the & find Aldis Hodge a great Alex Cross. It’s a gripping, gritty story that becomes clearer in the first few episodes, with the mystery building. Unfortunately, some of the reviews here are clearly negative because they have their own opinion about the species.
Sorry if this makes anyone uncomfortable
Hopefully after watching episode 1 you’ll see that the guy who gets questioned at the beginning probably shares the same views as some people here. Please ignore this & just watch an episode or 2 & decide for yourself. Don’t listen to the obvious bigots, these problems are widespread & unfortunately it’s common these days, why not shine a light on it. 2 things bothered me; First I agree with some of the comments about the lighting, it’s very dark and very dark; I strained my eyes a bit, but I wasn’t terrible.
It just seemed a little cliche
Second, this might seem petty, but the captain had very stereotypical, old-fashioned views, despite his excellent police background, he was always annoyed with Cross, rude, etc. . And I was also very distracted by her hair lol lol no way for a high ranking woman to wear her hair down like that it looked weird especially when she was wearing the police cap it didn’t look right! Minor issue, but I found it a little distracting!!I’ve read most of James Patterson’s books and this is definitely different from them, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Be warned if you don’t want spoilers to miss the last part of episode 1 as "this season is Crosson…" preview that I didn’t watch because I don’t want spoilers & I felt that this was not necessary. Try it, watch some episodes & you think you want to watch the whole series. The "Silo" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
