She is an insomniac who spends late nights/early mornings binge-watching way too many shows and binge-drinking way too much tea. Her eclectic taste translates to her viewing habits, making her unpredictable and impossible to box in. She deeply appreciates complex characters, diverse representation, dynamic duos, found families, compelling stories, and guilty pleasures. Leverage is her ultimate comfort show, and Lifetime was a Sunday staple growing up, making her a lifelong fan. She'll never be over Pitch, Sleepy Hollow, or Prodigal Son, so only bring them up if you're prepared for a rant. You'll find her obsessively live-tweeting, waxing poetic, and chatting up fellow Fanatics and readers.","sameAs":["https://x.com/bleuangel88"],"url":"https://www.tvfanatic.com/authors/jasmine-blu/"}]}</script>  <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//scripts.mediavine.com' /> <link rel='dns-prefetch' href='//cdn.parsely.com' /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="TV Fanatic » Feed" href="https://www.tvfanatic.com/feed/" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="TV Fanatic » Comments Feed" href="https://www.tvfanatic.com/comments/feed/" /> <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="TV Fanatic » Cross Review: Aldis Hodge & Cast Captivate in Gripping Adaptation that Redefines the Genre Comments Feed" href="https://www.tvfanatic.com/cross-season-1-review-aldis-hodge-cast-captivate-in-gripping-adaptation-that-redefines-the-genre/feed/" /> <style type="text/css" id="mv-trellis-custom-css">:root{--mv-trellis-color-link:var(--mv-trellis-color-primary);--mv-trellis-color-link-hover:var(--mv-trellis-color-secondary);--mv-trellis-font-body:system,BlinkMacSystemFont,-apple-system,".SFNSText-Regular","San Francisco","Roboto","Segoe UI","Helvetica Neue","Lucida Grande",sans-serif;--mv-trellis-font-heading:system,BlinkMacSystemFont,-apple-system,".SFNSText-Regular","San Francisco","Roboto","Segoe UI","Helvetica Neue","Lucida Grande",sans-serif;--mv-trellis-font-size-ex-sm:0.750375rem;--mv-trellis-font-size-sm:0.984375rem;--mv-trellis-font-size:1.125rem;--mv-trellis-font-size-lg:1.265625rem;--mv-trellis-color-primary:#000000;--mv-trellis-color-secondary:#00708A;--mv-trellis-max-logo-size:75px;--mv-trellis-gutter-small:10px;--mv-trellis-gutter:20px;--mv-trellis-gutter-double:40px;--mv-trellis-gutter-large:50px;--mv-trellis-color-background-accent:#e8e8e8;--mv-trellis-h1-font-size:2.25rem;}</style><style id='wp-parsely-recommendations-style-inline-css' type='text/css'> .parsely-recommendations-list-title{font-size:1.2em}.parsely-recommendations-list{list-style:none;padding:unset}.parsely-recommendations-cardbody{overflow:hidden;padding:.8em;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap}.parsely-recommendations-cardmedia{padding:.8em .8em 0} </style> <style id='classic-theme-styles-inline-css' type='text/css'> /*!

things up.</p> <p>Cross’s approach to action-themed moments feels far more grounded and less hokey than one expects from a series of this caliber, and it’s all the better.</p> <p>More “feels” than fists; Cross allows the characters to simply be complex, resonant characters viewers can connect with amid investigating a sadistic case that makes <a

Cross the character is much more cerebral tjan this hper macho posturing. And the showdown in episode 5 had that many logic flaws that I struggled to watch it.</p> <p>So where does Cross go to from here? I don't know but my advice is don't expect stories aligned in timeline or plot to the James Paterson books.</p> <p>Probably an easier series to watch if you are unfamiliar with the books.</p> <p>Much like the Jack Reacher movies, a mistake corrected in the TV series which is much true to the books the stories are based on.</p> </div> <div class="trellis-comment-child trellis-comment-new "> <div class="trellis-comment-header"> <div class="trellis-comment-text"> <p class="trellis-comment-author">Jasmine Blu</p> <p class="trellis-comment-date">Sunday 24th of November 2024</p> </div> </div> <div> <p>@Bernie, Interesting. I've seen mixed reaction by diehard fans of the book series. I do think that not adapting a storyline specifically from the series helps it because they likely knew they'd be under scrutiny if things didn't align "just so" with the books. It's the toughest part about adaptations, threading the needle and appealing to new fans and longtime ones of the work adapted. </p> <p>Ironically, I enjoyed the Reacher films more than the series, especially the first season, which was lauded, but I felt was a bit rough.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </main> <aside class="sidebar sidebar-primary"> <div class="mv-sticky-slot"></div>
