Cross 2.1-2.3: To the Rescue
My wife and I saw Season 1 of Cross (starring Aldis Hodge) a few years ago and really enjoyed it. I didn't have time to review it then, but I thought it was fast-paced, full of twists and turns, and emotionally powerful. I liked it just as much as, if not more than, the Morgan Freeman movies in the 1990s.
We saw the first three episodes of the second season last night. It's starting as engaging

Hi Paul! Thanks for being a friend. I had not been here since I joined. I have been missing out. How's NY? That's my hometown, I do not recall telling you that. I just finished uploading Wild Child by Mike Wells on Kindle for free @Amazon. It is a thriller for YAs . So I shall see, but there is no way Jose that I will read that tonight. Going to call it a night, was up til 7am this morn. Good night.

Hey Paul...Thanks for accepting my friend request.
Paul, The Plot to Save Socrates just arrived in the mail. I'm looking forward to sharing it with my son.
I want to apologize for the all the recommendations from me today. I wanted to share the Stoker Award news, and I only pressed the send button once--I'm not sure what happened to create so many messages. Some weird glitch.Argh...this is terrible...
Again, I'm very sorry.
-Jeremy
Paul, thanks for the invitation. Your books look marvelous. I'm ordering Socrates for my philosopher son (who is very nice about sharing books with me).I was just in NYC last month and loved it (as always)--bookstores and coffee shops and snow.
Hi Paul!Here’s wishing you a yippee-filled Yuletime overflowing with yard-long yams, yapping yoyo-yanking yetis, yak-milk yeast-cakes, and yellow yarn-yielding year-end yard-gnomes.
-Jeremy :)
