the new Prime Video series Cross presents an unapologetically Black protagonist navigating the world with confidence. Aldis Hodge's portrayal highlights both intellect and a physical presence that gives the character depth, juxtaposing moments from erudite fundraising events to gritty neighborhood interrogations.
Especially intriguing is the depiction of Cross using societal assumptions about race to his advantage during a critical interrogation scene, though the eventual confession weighs down the execution. It exemplifies how compelling character work can sometimes be undone by shaky writing.
