What to Know

Critics Consensus

Cross' case for itself isn't closed just yet, but the commanding Aldis Hodge makes for the most arresting embodiment of James Patterson's literary creation yet.

3/5
The criminal pursuit soon outweighs the thorny questions, but they give the show some necessary gravity. Go to Full Review Sherin Nicole RogerEbert.com Nov 16, 2024
'Cross' is three-dimensional, spiky and introspective, with a streak of genuine creepiness shooting through the murky waters of DC crime. Go to Full Review Kelly Lawler USA Today Nov 15, 2024
2/4
This version of "Cross," however, seems like all the worst stereotypes about the genre mashed up into a slow, overly long season of television. It's like a betrayal. Or maybe a double cross. Go to Full Review Paula Vázquez Prieto La Nación (Argentina) Jan 7, 2025
A bit of the old CSI- style procedural and a patina of sordidness and social criticism that outlines a tight, effective, and quite addictive story. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Jackie K. Cooper jackiekcooper.com Dec 10, 2024
6/10
Not the "Alex Cross" from the Patterson books, but a good one just the same. Go to Full Review Callie Hanna FandomWire Nov 29, 2024
5/10
It wants to be a serious story with real themes and real social commentary and you can't do that while engaging in blind hero worship of a police officer. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Sherry K @Sherry Aug 7, 2026 Good acting but far-fetched, scattered storyline toward the end. It dragged substantially in several parts, . Likely won’t be watching See more Jorge S @RT34154138 May 3, 2026 O fio condutor desta série que, até 2026, tinha duas temporadas (8 episódios cada) é o detetive e psicólogo forense Alex Cross e sua tentativa de perseguir assassinos em série ao mesmo tempo em que lida com seus sentimentos em relação ao assassinato da esposa. No começo, até que esse fio é sensível mas, com o desenrolar da primeira temporada, perde-se ou se torna tangente, secundário. Na minha visão, a primeira temporada tem sete bons episódios e um oitavo, conclusivo, fraco. Nota 6, pela intenção de tocar na luta contra o preconceito e tentar usar a psicologia como parte da inteligência policial. See more Robert C. @A8kman888 May 2, 2026 Bad show. It’s too bad cause I like the main actor. See more Sierra B @sbmbolin Apr 19, 2026 A bit slow, but I ended up liking it. I love the story line See more otis H @50otis50 Mar 23, 2026 Rewatched S1 before starting S2. 3.4/5.0 Too plodding at times. Too much fake filtering to make images soft, but just made picture quality too dark. Prrime of course sucks. Too many intrusive ads. See more Greg M. @RT71392693 Mar 23, 2026 It's a great series. Just rewatched it prior to watching the the 2nd season and it was worth seeing it again. See more Read all reviews
