I love the show. I've seen the first two episodes, and I do appreciate that you are only reviewing one episode at a time. I am from DC, and it was really good to see familiar parts. When they said Tavio was from Mayfair, I chuckled because I grew up in Kenilworth, which wasn't too far from Mayfair. My best friend grew up in Mayfair. I loved the interrogation scene. I love that they have made the psycho a blonde haired blue-eyed boy next store type. The fanboy scene was good, too. I felt Alex Cross was slipping in that scene because the way the psycho approached was suspect. He has several helpers, and I can't wait to see why these others are involved. There is a woman directly involved. I'm thinking it's either the woman Alex is dating or the lady Alex asked to track Tavio's phone. Great review as always❤
Thank you. I don’t realize you were from DC. 😊 I’m happy to hear to hear you say that we’re doing the episodes individually because we debated it and honestly, I wasn’t sure people would want to listen to individual recaps when Amazon made all the episodes available all at once. Thank you for taking this ride with us.
Folks are forgetting that Alex Cross was first introduced to the screen through the character interpretation of Morgan Freeman in "Kiss the Girls" and "Along Came a Spider". Freeman easily captured the intellectual aspect of Cross, but not the complexity of his personal life and his DC born and bred baseline. When "Kiss the Girls" hit the screens back in 1997, I thought Avery Brooks or Samuel L. Jackson would have been better fits for the role of Alex Cross. As a reader of the Cross book series, I believe that the showrunner (Ben Watkins) and writers have done a great job of including the DC background/backstory as close to accurate as possible AND stay true to the Alex Cross of the book series. Aldis Hodge is perfectly cast as the brilliant complex and conflicted Alex Cross, and Isaiah Mustafa as John Sampson is a reliable complement to his childhood friend and partner. This series has the potential to run a number of years with the number of Alex Cross novels out there. Let's go!!!! P.S. The character Alex Cross is black. The author of the Cross novels, James Patterson, is white.
James Patterson the author of the books. Said he only wants Alex Cross to be black in a recent interview which is why he hasn't allowed a movie to be made since Tyler Perry version Which he says Tyler didn't get a fair chance at the role . And when the person broke into cross house to put the scarf back and take the pic out the daughter room. U notice the person is a woman .
Hey Guys, I'm glad you're recapping this...I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Can't wait for your reaction to the rest of the season.
Thank you. We’re excited to discuss this series.
I watched it all yesterday while running from turning in grades and progress reports. I was hooked. And thank goodness no TP.
The show is really good.

Loving the show! So glad my favorite reviewers are reviewing it!! 😊😊
Awww! Thank you for tuning in. 🙏🏽
Alex Cross was a solid show. Bobby Trey was a wild boy. I thought that John Sampson was married when Maria was murder. Great Recap
Thank you. 🙏🏽

Thank you. I know Paterson is white, I wasn’t sure if the lead was white in the book.
Morgan Freeman was Alex Cross first then Tyler and now Hodge. Which was a great choice
John played in Madea big happy family
Yes and he also played in the movie It.
people underestimate the Hodge brothers.
💯

I caught that person was a woman. I got two in mind that it could have been.
I watch the first episode it was decent
Yep! It was.
