Three attempts to capture author James Patterson’s massive Alex Cross thriller franchise flopped on the big screen. But Prime Video is betting that the small screen will be the right home for the titular detective with the new series “Cross,” starring Aldis Hodge, debuting Thursday.
“I think when you’re trying to do a thriller in less than two hours, when you’re forced with a choice between plot and character, you’ve probably got to do more plot.” Telling the Cross story through a TV series gives the producers more space to explore the world and the character.
