Cross is Prime Video's latest crime series, starring Aldis Hodge as the eponymous forensic detective, Alex Cross. The show is based on characters created by James Patterson in his successful book series, but the plot does not derive from any of his books, with a brand-new story for fans to indulge in. Season 1 was a deliciously gritty story that saw Alex Cross track down a serial killer called Fanboy, while also trying to come to terms with the death of his wife.
