Join Aldis Hodge as he navigates the thrilling world of "Cross" on Prime Video, where literature meets late-night binge-watching!
Amazon Prime Video is turning heads with its latest offering, "Cross," a crime-thriller series that brings the iconic character of Alex Cross to the small screen. Starring Aldis Hodge, the show is based on James Patterson's bestselling novels, which have captivated readers for decades. Hodge, who has been in the business for years, is thrilled to step into the role of this complex detective, who not only masters psychological intricacies but also navigates through a world of crime with the determination and intelligence that defines him. The anticipation is high as fans eagerly await how the series will unfold, but can it live up to the legacy of Patterson’s detective?
One of the highlights of the new series is how it showcases Cross as an unapologetically Black man confronting contemporary issues. This fresh perspective adds layers to the character that haven't been fully explored in previous iterations, allowing audiences to connect with him on a deeper level. The plight of a smart, educated man working amidst societal challenges makes for both interesting storytelling and a necessary reflection of today’s world. Hodge shared that stepping into fatherhood played a significant role in helping him embody the character, drawing upon the emotional depth required to portray such a nuanced figure in the crime-solving world.
Despite the excitement, early reviews have pointed out that while "Cross" nearly hits the mark, it hasn’t quite found its groove yet. Critics have praised the cinematography and performances, but some feel that the pacing could use a bit of tightening. For many, the adaptation feels like it's been given a chance to shine yet can use a little polish to become a true gem in the crowded streaming arena. Fans of Patterson’s works are particularly eager to see if this adaptation is the one to finally do justice to the famed detective’s legacy.
As we welcome a darker version of a beloved character, it's worth noting how often adaptations struggle to translate the tension of literary sources onto the screen. Going one step further, the series also features Edmonton-raised actress Jennifer Wigmore, adding to its Canadian richness in talent—proving that plenty of local flair is making waves in the international entertainment industry! All these factors come together to create an enticing blend of drama, flair, and pop culture relevance.
You might be surprised to discover that James Patterson has penned nearly 30 novels featuring Alex Cross! That’s a lot of late-night mystery-solving! Additionally, Aldis Hodge is not just the star of this show; he has long been a passionate advocate for autism awareness, bringing not only talent but also depth to his roles. If you want a show with substance paired with suspense, "Cross" could be the binge-worthy experience you didn’t know you were craving!
