The latest Amazon crime thriller, Cross, has been making waves since its release on November 14, 2024. The show is based on James Patterson’s best-selling Alex Cross novels.
The book has inspired three films starring Morgan Freeman and Tyler Perry as the titular character, Alex Cross. Freeman played Detective Cross in the films Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider, while Perry portrayed the popular character in the 2012 film Alex Cross. In the TV adaptation, the forensic psychologist and homicide DC Metro Detective is splendidly played by Aldis Hodge.
Cross Season 1 consists of eight gripping episodes and holds immense binge-watch potential. So it’s no wonder that the show crossed 40 million viewers in just 20 days of its release. This makes it Amazon’s third most-watched premiere of 2024, just behind Fallout and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2.
