Cross

We liked Cross enough to watch all eight episodes in two sittings. My wife would give an 8; I was a 7 (and I'm the one writing the review!)

Aldis Hodge is compelling with great expressive eyes. But the story telling and the resolution were disappointingly ordinary. (I might add that you can't help but note that every episode has a different writer(s) and director. ). Cross suffers a bit from the "How will we fill up 8 hours?" problem, as well as occasionally "jumping the shark" in some of the outrageous things that happen.

I'd love to see Alex Cross solve some conventional murders, and, in particular, not murderers who have a connection with Alex Cross. That was especially disappointing about the end of this series, which suggests that a second series (if there is one) may bear similarities to the first.
