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 11/16/2024
'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 11/15/2024
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) 01/07/2025
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 12/10/2024
6/10
Not the "Alex Cross" from the Patterson books, but a good one just the same. Go to Full Review Callie Hanna FandomWire 11/29/2024
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

otis H @50otis50 Mar 23 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 It's a great series. Just rewatched it prior to watching the the 2nd season and it was worth seeing it again. See more Joseph B. @jbriskey Mar 16 Who needs another boring ugly serial killer movie? The Alex Cross character is really lame. The female characters are all unpleasant to listen to and look at. The dialogue is either boring or predictable. Nothing here. See more Pauline W @Paulwall Mar 12 Very wooden, predictable series. The scenes where the room is told to be silent as Cross comes up with his theories has to be the worst tv I have seen in years. The constant flashbacks to his dead wife are supposed to inspire emotion but instead had me fast forwarding. Found the lead actor who plays Cross wooden and predictable. Not believable as a psychologist. His side kick had more expression and emotion. Switch the two! Good cinematography, scene setting. But very predictable series. Would only recommend if you can find nothing else to watch. See more Schantate J @Schan Mar 1 It was great!! I like the various twists and turns of season one! Now I’m about to embark onto season two!! See more Barry M @Ta2dbear Mar 1 Great show if you are able to suffer through the social justice nonsense. See more Read all reviews
