Hodge is the third actor to portray Cross
Chronology
A series adaptation of James Patterson’s novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross. He follows in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first portrayed him in 1997’s Kiss the Girls and again. in the 2001 film sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the title character in 2012’s Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and led Lionsgate to scrap a previously planned sequel, Double Cross.
First, it’s a good, solid serial killer
show. So I’ve got that out of the way. I think it’s Luther’s poor cousin in the UK with Idris Elba, though.
With Cross you don’t
Both he and Cross are said to have exceptional psychological analysis skills. With Luther you can get it. There are only two times in eight episodes where he goes full "Spideysense" matter and provides an analysis that others just don’t see.
And the last point is Iasiah Mustafa
Then there is the inconsequential acting by some of the big actors. Their scenes just don’t do justice to the great acting of the main characters. In this show, he is the spitting image of Andy Farrell, the coach of the Irish rugby team.
An enjoyable show, but I think Luther does it better
One is black and the other is white, but boy, the resemblance is uncanny!
