Here, it\u2019s just called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/video\/detail\/B0D6XBQQ43\/ref=atv_tv_hom_c_furGo3_brws_5_1?jic=8%7CEgRzdm9k\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"color-link\" title=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/video\/detail\/B0D6XBQQ43\/ref=atv_tv_hom_c_furGo3_brws_5_1?jic=8%7CEgRzdm9k\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/video\/detail\/B0D6XBQQ43\/ref=atv_tv_hom_c_furGo3_brws_5_1?jic=8%7CEgRzdm9k\" aria-label=\"Cross\">Cross<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While detective Alex Cross has been played in movies twice by Morgan Freeman and once by Tyler Perry(?), now it\u2019s Aldis Hodge taking up the mantle. He\u2019s a SAG-winning actor who was recently one of the only good parts of DC\u2019s Black Adam playing Hawkeye. Now, he\u2019s got this high profile part.<\/p>\n<p>Cross dropped all eight episodes of its first season this past week, and has been planted as the #1 series on the service since then, unseating lingering viewings of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. It\u2019s very clear that Amazon is attempting to create another Reacher-type success on the service, an adaptation of a big, crime-solving hero from popular novels that have essentially unlimited source material to draw on.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed-base image-embed embed-1\" role=\"presentation\"><figcaption><fbs-accordion><\/p>\n<p class=\"color-body light-text\">Cross<\/p>\n<p><\/fbs-accordion><small>Amazon<\/small><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Is Cross actually good? It\u2019s decent, it seems. Critic score is sitting at a 76% and audience score at a 72%. If we want to compare that to Reacher, it\u2019s not doing as well. Season 1 of that show had a 92%\/91% critic audience split. Season 2 had a 98%\/78% score, which seems kind of insane to me, as that season was <em>not<\/em> good. But I guess I\u2019m the minority critical opinion there. In any case, no, Cross isn\u2019t doing quite as well, but if it gets the viewership, slightly lower review scores aren\u2019t going to matter. And in fact, the show was greenlit for season 2 before season 1 even aired, so clearly Amazon has some big plans for it. It helps that shows like this are relatively cheap compared to the sprawling budgets that other Amazon series have.<\/p>\n<p>This feels like a show that\u2019s probably going to do well over the long term. I\u2019ve read a dozen Alex Cross books over the years, and I certainly like the character enough to check out this series when I get a moment. I mean the books aren\u2019t exactly utterly life-changing or anything, so a pretty good show adapting a pretty good series is all you can really hope for. And I like Aldis Hodge in everything I\u2019ve seen him in, and I expect that he does good work here as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow me <\/em><\/strong><a
