Narrative
James Patterson’s series of novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross
Hodge is the third actor to portray Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first portrayed him on screen in the 1997 film Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 film sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in the 2012 film Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and caused Lionsgate to scrap its previously planned sequel Double Cross. I’m a fan of the Alex Cross books and was glad to finally see an actor who fits the bill.
Ryan Eggold didn’t disappoint and played blind with his role
He played the character well with the right amount of aggression and emotion. He proved how versatile he can be with Blacklist and New Amsterdam.
It was gloomy and often made the series difficult to watch
I would have given him a much higher score if I had been able to see who was on screen at any given moment. The lighting technician laughed at the dark, not just moody and atmospheric lighting.
I’m not the only one who feels this way
I liked the plot, but hated the insufficient lighting needed to follow the story. I hope there will be another episode and read all the reviews.
