This series thrives in its dimensionality, becoming more than a "good adaptation." After years of cinematic efforts to bring a beloved literary character to life, we can finally say "Cross" is killer. Read full review

“Cross” is largely captivating, but there are a couple of flubs. .... Still, with Hodge at the center and Watkins at the helm, “Cross” is a crime drama boasting several astonishing curveballs. Read full review
