Prime Video’s new detective thriller ‘Cross’: Stream it or Skip it?

Prime Video’s Cross, a new crime thriller based on James Patterson’s iconic detective, Alex Cross, introduces a fresh storyline with a modern twist.

The series features Aldis Hodge as Dr. Alex Cross, a forensic psychologist, and detective in Washington, D.C. While the character is familiar to fans of Patterson’s books, this version of Cross faces new challenges as he grapples with personal loss and complex investigations.

The show opens with a devastating event: Alex Cross’s wife, Maria (Chaunteé Schuler Irving), is murdered in a violent attack while the couple is out with friends. As Maria dies in his arms, Cross is left to pick up the pieces of a shattered life. A year later, still reeling from the tragedy, Cross is drawn back into a high-profile case that involves the suspicious death of an ex-con and Black Lives Matter activist. The activist initially believed to have died from a meth overdose, becomes the focal point of Cross’s investigation.

Cross’s expertise as a forensic psychologist helps him spot clues others miss. He uncovers evidence that the activist’s death is not as simple as it seems. With the help of his friend and partner, John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa), Cross digs deeper into the case, only to find himself at odds with his superiors, including Lieutenant Oracene Massey (Sharon Taylor) and Chief Anderson (Jennifer Wigmore), who are eager to close the case quickly.

Amidst the investigation, Cross uncovers troubling clues about the murder of his wife. He finds his late wife’s missing Redskins scarf in his home, leading him to suspect someone is taunting him. His obsession with finding the truth about Maria’s death begins to take a toll on his career and personal life, leading to friction with his partner, Sampson, and girlfriend, Elle Montiero (Samantha Walkes).

Stream It or Skip It?

Cross is a solid choice for viewers who enjoy crime thrillers with strong character development and emotional depth. Aldis Hodge brings fresh energy to the role of Alex Cross, balancing the character’s grief and determination with his sharp detective skills. The complex mystery involving the activist’s death keeps viewers engaged, and the introduction of a personal vendetta over his wife’s murder adds an extra layer of intrigue. The dynamics between Cross and his friends and colleagues, particularly the tension with Sampson, add a human touch to the high-stakes crime-solving.

The show’s exploration of race, trust, and the complicated relationship between the police and the Black community also gives it a unique angle. Cross’s struggle to connect with his community, despite his work as a detective, adds an emotional depth to the series that goes beyond the typical procedural.

But, if you’re looking for a more traditional, action-driven detective show, Cross might not be the right fit. The series takes its time to develop its characters and plot, which might feel slow for viewers seeking faster-paced thrills. While the mystery is engaging, some of the drama surrounding Cross’s personal life and relationships might seem like filler for those more interested in the case at hand.
