when i got the invite to watch screeners for Cross, I was so excited to see what a new version would look like.  I’ve read several of the Alex Cross books and I devoured the movie Kiss the Girls.

Before we get to my top 5 reasons to watch, let’s check out the trailer.

top 5 reasons to watch cross:

  • the actors: this cast is absolutely perfect for the roles they put in, especially Aldis Hodge and Isaiah Mustafa
  • the plot: there are several moving pieces and I wanted more of all of them
  • the update to current times: obviously there was going to be an update, but i loved how they navigated the topics
  • the satisfying ending: everything was tied up nicely, with just enough to keep me wondering
  • the set up for season 2: I’m not sure there’s going to be more, but if there is, I’m definitely here for it

“I’m not a monster. I don’t kill for fun. You’re going to be part of a masterpiece.”

As I said above, I’ve been reading Alex Cross books for a very long time and this show was everything I could have wanted.

huge thanks to prime video for spoiling me with early screeners. cross releases tomorrow, so get ready!

Have you read any of the Alex Cross books? Will you be watching the show?
