Series Review: Cross
Just finished the Amazon Prime limited series, Cross, based on the Alex Cross novels by James Patterson. It starts off a bit slow but then becomes an exciting rollercoaster as the unusual detective Cross tracks a vicious serial killer called the Fanboy, while also dealing with a separate mysterious criminal who is threatening his family.
Eventually Cross realizes that the Fanboy kidnaps people who look like famous serial killers that have been executed, and makes them over so that they are "correct" in every way, then executes them. He records it all in a book of death mementos. Cross races against time to stop the Fanboy from killing his latest kidnap victim, a woman who resembles Aileen Wuornos. The cast is headed by Aldis Hodge as Cross and Isaiah Mustafa as his best friend John Sampson. Ryan Eggold as the Fanboy makes a truly detestable killer. There are a lot of unexpected twists in the story. A great 8-episode watch; not sure if the series will get a second season.
