I’m somewhat disappointed.

Excellent source books, the Alex Cross series. Excellent cast. …

I’d fire the writers. This TV drama should have been much better.

In the books, Alex Cross is a savant, using forensic psychology to analyze killers’ minds, delving into victims’ psyches to identify murderers and bring them to justice.

In season 1 he’s no Sherlock. Too angry. Too distracted. His overwhelming grief does not work for me.

He hardly does anything right.

Disappointing.

Isaiah Mustafa as Detective John Sampson, Alex’s Washington, D.C. Metro Police Department partner is very good, however. Much like in the books.

The bad guy — the “fanboy killer” is very well portrayed by Ryan Eggold. That performance cannot be faulted either.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

My GUESS is that the writers will learn from their mistakes. I expect season 2 to be much better.
