They hire Karen Robinson to play Miss Nancy. You know from the get go that she’s not just gonna be the sweet and doting Miss Nancy. So the predictable twist falls flat.

 

OVERALL:

I expect a crime thriller but what I get is a tedious drama that’s 3 episodes too long. The grief part is a bit overwhelming.

Alex Cross in this series is not believable as a brilliant detective with a PhD in Psychology. He’s too frantic and temperamental. He’s a resolute guy but he isn’t that savvy.

Alex isn’t an attentive father either. Grieving over Maria is not an excuse to delegate almost everything to Nana Mama and sometimes to Two John. Is Maria really the love of his life? He’s already dating someone else within a year of her passing.

I like Aldis Hodge in some other projects but not this. He keeps doing this wide-eyed stares multiple times. What is he trying to emote?

I would rather watch Luther for a good thriller with a tormented detective. 😘

overall i enjoyed but some plot bits i didn't understand (covering 7 and 8)

How did Cross Know Ramsey was in the hospital/in that room?

Surely he would be charged with 11 murders to give all those families closure?

why were the watchers of the live streams not pursued beyond the plastic surgeon. Or did the "speaker" only know of the lady in the house and not the whole extent and kept quiet due to blackmail shown earlier (but i thought she was into the whole book thing)

I only realised at the end that the lady detective wasn't a private detective but FBI and actually called Kyla Craig, which is a change from the book FBI agent Kyle Craig.

Overall I enjoyed this. But I have no loyalty to any other iteration of Alex other than Morgan Freeman. 

I did think it went on a bit too long but it was a nice, brainless way to relax after work and I'm happy it has been renewed. 

But that episode with Alex calling the radio station DESTROYED me, for personal reasons. 😭

I went through the entire series thinking the FBI agent was played by Linda Cardellini.
