This series started out not great for me, but it's growing on me. Unlike say, Reacher, which lost my interest during S1.  There are some parallels - cringy dialogue, lead who is hot, but kind of miscast.  I like Aldis Hodge, but I'm not entirely convinced he's the best fit to play Cross.  He's better than Tyler Perry, but that's kind of a low bar.    

I will give Ryan Eggold credit - he's playing the hell out of the psychopath Ed Ramsey.   

I really feel for Shannon - she was trying to tap into Ed's psychosis to try and dissuade him from his "art."  I'm hoping she comes out of this alive. 

Anyway, now that Cross is on to Ramsey, I'm interested in seeing where this goes.

Shot and escapes on an empty river. To much superhuman action from Bobby Trey going on here.

Hacking the karaoke was a foul thing to do

I will admit to reading the Cross books, and to me, the book Alex is a lot more cerebral, less rough-around-the-edges. It doesn't bother me; it's just not how I imagined him. Of course by now in the books, Alex's kids are basically grown up, not little school kids, so maybe he mellowed :)

I'd forgotten about Morgan Freeman playing Cross in the 90s - I haven't seen those films in years, but from whar I recall, his portrayal might have been closer to the books.
