I just finished binge-watching Cross. Absolutely the Best Black show currently on television. I made it my business to watch it because those folks complained about it. 🤨
I'm done watching it it was fantastic I went from tears to laughter to tears again. It wasn't what I expected but the twists and turns made it more than expected
Aldis Hodge is such a talent. First noticed him in the TV series 'Leverage." After that, "City on a Hill" also starring Kevin Bacon. Can't wait to see Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross.
OMG, you so right about the shows you just mentioned. I loved "Love Craft County" and wanted another season. They always do that to our great shows that are saying something.
EXCELLENT!!! Binged watched it in 1 day while taking down my knotless braids. I enjoyed every minute of the series. Well done, Aldis, Ben, cast, and crew!!! 💜
Thanks Karen for recommending this show. I’m about to start reducing the amount of news that I watch concerning Agent Orange’s new clown administration; this show will be a good distraction. Aldis Hodge also co-starred in “Underground,” an excellent show that was cancelled too soon. I hate when networks change owners and then good black shows like “Underground” and “Rap Sh!t” are the first to go.
I binged-watched all 8 episodes on Sunday and finished around 1:30am!! There definitely needs to be a season 2! This show was awesome!!! It is must watch TV. I love the “blackness” of the show!
James Patterson and his ignorant mouth caused me to stop buying the Alex Cross novels. Smh. But one thing I love about the show that no other movie has gotten right is they did not leave out Sampson, Nana Mama, Damon and Jannie. I hope it last too because they need to add Ali when the time comes too.
Yeah Tyler definitely took that Alex Cross baton from Morgan Freeman and dropped it down the toilet like some Yayo while 5-0 is kicking down the door! He ain’t get no plunger, apologize, or nuffin!! Glad to see this re-boot!!
😂 Oh, I binge-watched this last week after a stressful work week. I went to bed way into the next morning because I had to finish it. I also put a baseball bat in my Amazon shopping cart after the scene with Nana. 😂
I have read all of James Patterson books. Morgan freeman played the first cross then Tyler perry, and now this guy. It's going to be a new killer in season 2!!.
Morgan Freeman was too old for the part. In the books, Alex Cross was much younger than Morgan Freeman. Tyler Perry’s casting was a total misfire. The Amazon casting is perfect. Salute to Aldis Hodge.
Prof Karen! It is soooo good, I was thinking about canceling my prime membership but this show came up and I had to watch!!!! I love it so much! And I no longer have any love for James Patterson😂😂😂 still waiting for Reacher to return too!!
I was not too fond of the police chief. My thing was it was a majority Black precinct and a majority of the police were Black and they couldn't find a Black police chief? 🤔
It’s so good, he’s so finnnne. I’m officially in love. The writing is great and didn’t get ridiculous like most shows do around the 5th or 6th episode. The cast is brilliant, everyone showed up and out❤
Um...I haven't seen a single episode yet but I KNOW it's wonderful😂. Prof Hunter, it could be on mute but between being fine brother and his intelligent interviews count me in 😀🥰🙏🏿💃🏿
Funny thing is I've seeing the commercial for this show and been meaning to start watching it but haven't got to it. But after listening to you guys I'm starting it today on Gaad. Lol. Thanks Sis Karen Hunter ( The cleanest glass of water on these airways). We appreciate you.💐💐💐🌹🌹
I just finished binge watching...TRUE, that genetic statement is what tuned me into the show. I was surprised they allowed this in the script ! I was looking forward to more genetic truths being implemented throughout the series. That brain power, although overtly mentioned...🤔🤔🤔
Sugar and SAMPSON 🖤💯 are on repeat. Thanks JP I've been love for decades 🎉🎉🎉 Chocolate superheros. Them walking across the street in the promo so delicious. Season 2,3,4,5,6,7 I here for it!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's crazy the guy who plays his partner petitioned to be Luke Cage he even did an audition video. Anyway, I'm three episodes in and yeah this is the blackest show on t.v. This show is damn good.
The first episode had me locked in, and then came episode 2. I wouldn't stop watching and binged it yesterday. The many moments and layers in yhe show that made me laugh and also wonder "will the WP understand how funny/perfect/cultural this thing or that thing is?" Not a perfect show, but pretty daggone close!
Watched all 8!episides. Live in DC could even see homes is knew. BUT I saw a comment by a W guy who loved the show but said locations did not look real: the DIVIDE is real.
After last Tuesday, I needed all this blackness!! So I sat my black azz down and binge watched all of this black excellence!!!
Ditto
Watch The Wiz, The Last Dragon and Mahogany too! Comfort films.
Word
I watched 5 episodes and then I decided to wait because I knew that I would miss it if I binged watch the entire series over two days!
Excellent show! I’m trying not to binge watch, want to savor each episode for as long as possible!
I just finished binge-watching Cross. Absolutely the Best Black show currently on television. I made it my business to watch it because those folks complained about it. 🤨
Agreed. I was hooked from the pilot. I thought I was the only one.
Hollup, i though it was a Tyler Terry thing and i didn't bother. now i'm finna watch
Binge watched on Saturday, couldn’t stop watching. 🙌🏽
Love this. Rooting for Everybody Black.
I'm loving this show! I'm on episode 5. I'm from DC so I love seeing the shots from Ben's Chili Bowl and other areas. The cast is amazing. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
This show has already been renewed for season 2 before the series aired. James Patterson endorsed this show.
I'm done watching it it was fantastic I went from tears to laughter to tears again. It wasn't what I expected but the twists and turns made it more than expected
The show is so good. 10 out of 10! I believe it already is approved for a second season.
Aldis Hodge is such a talent. First noticed him in the TV series 'Leverage." After that, "City on a Hill" also starring Kevin Bacon. Can't wait to see Aldis Hodge as Alex Cross.
What about Girlfriends...that was where I noticed both him and Edris Elba and knew they would some day blow up
I love him in The City on the Hill, I been a fan of Aldis since Leverage ,
OMG, you so right about the shows you just mentioned. I loved "Love Craft County" and wanted another season. They always do that to our great shows that are saying something.
Great show! Finished the first season! Great to see some positive black characters! Bravo!
EXCELLENT!!! Binged watched it in 1 day while taking down my knotless braids. I enjoyed every minute of the series. Well done, Aldis, Ben, cast, and crew!!! 💜
I’m almost done with it. The only reason I stopped today is because I have to walk the dog and wash the dishes before my wife comes home.
I got hipped to Alex Cross from the books, ngl… I’m a definitely have to tap in with the series!!!
I know Karen would say this show is BLACK 😂✊🏾 it was a great and I am hopeful for more seasons with the same energy. Very well done!
I love this show, I just got started and I can't get enough of it. Thank you Prime.
Looking forward to the next Season ❤
Thanks I will look out for this program
I LOVE KAREN!! Funny, smart as hell and definitely POSITIVELY BLACK!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I SERIOUSLY enjoyed this show! Just binged it last night!
Shoot! I'm *still* mad about "Luke Cage"! 😆
Thanks Karen for recommending this show. I’m about to start reducing the amount of news that I watch concerning Agent Orange’s new clown administration; this show will be a good distraction.

Yes. You help put a real smile on my face! I can hardly wait to watch.
That’s correct Rod. Morgan Freeman played the title character in Kiss the Girls and the sequel Along Came the Spider. 😊
It was great, I can't wait for season 2❤❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏👏.
Very good show actually, I've binge watched it and it was great. The brotha is an amazing actor, actually, everyone in the show was great. Loved it!
Binged it this weekend…show is amazing!!
Thank you for mentioning SHAFT!!
Loving this show
I knew it was going to be good
Yes, yes brilliant show two thumbs up
💖 Karen Hunter, you made me smile today. I won’t go all molecular and explain it, but it was lovely. We surely need and appreciate you. The end.✊🏾
I binged-watched all 8 episodes on Sunday and finished around 1:30am!! There definitely needs to be a season 2! This show was awesome!!! It is must watch TV. I love the “blackness” of the show!
A fact.. so
much Black talent.. like liquid gold
Just finished binge watching Season 1. Looking forward to Season 2. Well written storylines, beautifully acted.
I wished they filmed more scenes in DC. Too much of it was filmed in Canada.
Also saw Old Spice guy & Cross interview where they pretended to be surprised their sexiness was appreciated 😊 But Old Spice said he wasn't mad at it.
I love this series! I’m here for it! 😊
James Patterson and his ignorant mouth caused me to stop buying the Alex Cross novels. Smh. But one thing I love about the show that no other movie has gotten right is they did not leave out Sampson, Nana Mama, Damon and Jannie. I hope it last too because they need to add Ali when the time comes too.
Yeah Tyler definitely took that Alex Cross baton from Morgan Freeman and dropped it down the toilet like some Yayo while 5-0 is kicking down the door! He ain’t get no plunger, apologize, or nuffin!!
Glad to see this re-boot!!
🤣
😂😂
lol
Underground should absolutely have had a second season
Free chicken...I'm enjoying this show
😂 Oh, I binge-watched this last week after a stressful work week. I went to bed way into the next morning because I had to finish it.
I also put a baseball bat in my Amazon shopping cart after the scene with Nana. 😂
I have read all of James Patterson books. Morgan freeman played the first cross then Tyler perry, and now this guy.
It's going to be a new killer in season 2!!.
I just finished watching and I loved it. I love some Alex Cross ❤❤
Aldis Hodge is great and underrated! A few characters were “goofy” but overall it was entertaining.
This is the equivalent of the discontinued Watchmen IMO and I love how they highlight the GOGO music ❤.
I thought it was really good. Aldis Hodge is a good actor.
If you read the Alex Cross books you would know. These are the books I used read riding the bus as a young adult
*I 💕 **#ZonDAmour**'s short on RUclips, where the actors talk about being an available BLACK FATHER.* 🎬
Morgan Freeman was too old for the part. In the books, Alex Cross was much younger than Morgan Freeman. Tyler Perry’s casting was a total misfire. The Amazon casting is perfect. Salute to Aldis Hodge.
Prof Karen! It is soooo good, I was thinking about canceling my prime membership but this show came up and I had to watch!!!! I love it so much! And I no longer have any love for James Patterson😂😂😂 still waiting for Reacher to return too!!
I was not too fond of the police chief. My thing was it was a majority Black precinct and a majority of the police were Black and they couldn't find a Black police chief? 🤔
Ooh I just finished the 1st season late last night. So excellent!!
Loved this show! Done all 8 episodes
It’s so good, he’s so finnnne. I’m officially in love. The writing is great and didn’t get ridiculous like most shows do around the 5th or 6th episode. The cast is brilliant, everyone showed up and out❤
I'm still watching the show and it is fantastic!
Um...I haven't seen a single episode yet but I KNOW it's wonderful😂. Prof Hunter, it could be on mute but between being fine brother and his intelligent interviews count me in 😀🥰🙏🏿💃🏿

The intro is so Black that I can recognize the locations, and they are real.
Karen, I watched it and it was gooood!!❤
I watched that episode yesterday. This show is on my list for this week, I'm pacing myself though, 1 episode a day.
I’m watching it right now as I watch this….it is soooo good
I just finished binge watching...TRUE, that genetic statement is what tuned me into the show. I was surprised they allowed this in the script !
I was looking forward to more genetic truths being implemented throughout the series. That brain power, although overtly mentioned...🤔🤔🤔
Binge-watched it over the weekend! Of All the book adaptations on Prime- CROSS was the truth!! Have read the books and was not disappointed.
It was a really great series!
Sugar and SAMPSON 🖤💯 are on repeat. Thanks JP I've been love for decades 🎉🎉🎉 Chocolate superheros. Them walking across the street in the promo so delicious. Season 2,3,4,5,6,7 I here for it!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I love my shows “blacker”.
Love me some Rod…..he on point with what the show reminds you of blackploitation but not in a bad way👍🏾
I enjoyed everything about this show including the theme song.
Watching it now
Love this it was awesome on episode 7
Just say no to Tyler playing Alex cross!!
It's crazy the guy who plays his partner petitioned to be Luke Cage he even did an audition video. Anyway, I'm three episodes in and yeah this is the blackest show on t.v. This show is damn good.
It's excellent
The first episode had me locked in, and then came episode 2. I wouldn't stop watching and binged it yesterday.

Please read The Trees by Perceval Everett. Awesome novel, two Black Detectives and one Black female FBI agent solving crimes in Money, Mississippi.

Story is great. Characters are trash.
But let’s hope for better writing for Season 2, if there is one.
Thank you Karen, I don't normally like tv series - but thrillers, well produced/directed/acted AND BLACK ? Will def have to check it out
Watched all 8!episides. Live in DC could even see homes is knew. BUT I saw a comment by a W guy who loved the show but said locations did not look real: the DIVIDE is real.
Excellent thriller without all of negative stereotypes and over the top terrible messaging..Bruh did great work! 🦾📚📽️👏🏿
