Prime Video's 'Cross' and Peacock's 'The Day of the Jackal,' premiering Thursday, are cat-and-mouse stories, though exactly who is the cat and who the mouse is a revolving situation.
Two thrillers with literary antecedents — 'Cross' on Prime Video and 'The Day of the Jackal' on Peacock — premiere Thursday. Each series is a cat-and-mouse story, with the hero and the villain identified from the beginning, though exactly who is the cat and who the mouse is an evolving, revolving situation. Based on a character created by James Patterson , 'Cross' is a serial-killer tale set in Washington, D.C., with detective Alex Cross, the dedicated lawman.
Set in a variety of sexy locations, some of them actually where they claim to be — including England, Turkey, Croatia, Estonia, Spain and Germany — it, too, is a serial-killer story in a way, though the resident psychopath, the Jackal, kills people for money rather than to gratify some bizarre psychosis. Here again, our many-aliased killer is something of a mastermind with complicated plots to hatch and a life of luxury led off-hours, not that he gets many of those.
