The adaptation of James Patterson’s series of novels about the complex and brilliant detective Alex Cross
The sequel to the 2001 film Along Came a Spider; and the titular character in 2012’s Alex Cross, starring Tyler Perry, bombed at the box office, leading Lionsgate to scrap the previously planned Double Cross sequel. Show.
So I skipped it
However, I think it’s Luther’s poor cousin in the UK with Idris Elba. Both he and Cross are considered to have extraordinary psychological analysis skills.
With Cross you don’t
With Luther you get that. In episode 8 he gives off the whole "Spideysense" thing and an insight that others don’t.
The final point is Isiah Mustafa
Then there’s the lackluster performances of some of the larger cast. Their scenes don’t do justice to the great performances of the leads.
A fun show but I think Luther does it better
In this show he is the spitting image of Andy Farrell, the coach of the Irish rugby team. One is black and the other is white but, boy, are the similarities uncanny!
