The season series of a “first-class” crime drama one fan said they could watch “every night” is dropping this week. Cross premiered on Amazon Prime in November 2024, and focuses on forensic psychologist and homicide cop Alex Cross (played Aldis Hodge), who goes after some of America’s most dangerous murderers alongside his partner, Detective John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa).

The show is based on James Patterson’s popular Alex Cross novel series. Series one saw Cross going up against the ellusive “Fanboy Killer”, while the soon-to-be-released second series has Cross “in pursuit of a ruthless vigilante who is hunting down corrupt billionaire magnates”, the official logline reads. How fans will react to the sleuth’s latest outing – but it’s likely to be eagerly awaited if the response to the first season is anything to go by.

Good Housekeeping named the series among 7 five-star shows to watch this week, hailing it as “first-class”.

One fan said: “Even though I’ve never read any of the source material from the James Patterson books, I’ve still heard of Alex Cross long before this tv show was in production.

“It’s definitely something that I knew I would like and did…a lot. Aldis Hodge is an up and coming and underrated actor and he absolutely kills it as Alex Cross.”

Another wrote: “I just got done binging all eight episodes of Cross and have to say I absolutely loved it. I’ve been looking forward to it ever since I first heard about it so I had pretty high expectations.

“Well, this show not only met those expectations but surpassed them in every way.”

Another, writing back in December 2024 wrote: “Wow!! Keep this show going!! Please do not cancel it. I could watch this show every night. It had me engaged from the very beginning.

“Each episode left me wanting to see more as I kept trying to figure out each character and what was going on, and what might happen next. The casting was excellent.

The episodes of the first series have 15 certificates and deals with upsetting themes, including – but not limited to – strong language, threat, and suicide, so viewer discretion is advised.

Series 2 of Cross will be streaming Prime Video from tomorrow (Wednesday, February 11).
