I loved this - the actors, writing, and story line are all great. Aldis Hodge is fantastic - but there are just a few flaws, mostly that we need to see more of him and less of that weirdo serial killer. They focused way too much on the criminal and not enough on the hero. And mostly, Aldis Hodge is great, but there are a few episodes where his dialogue comes off as rural-tv-reporter energy, where every 3rd word is stressed, regardless of whether or not it should be. He doesn't always do that, so I'm guessing the director is responsible. Stop doing that! It's tedious.
The other issue is what another reviewer said, that he is the star, and supposedly very smart, but doesn't have a lot of shiny smart moments. I agree, but I think it's because the audience figures out what's happening before he does. How can he be super smart when I figured out the bad grandma before he did, while I'm sitting here in my pjs drinking coffee and working, only half way paying attention? Alex Cross needs to figure out who the bad guy is before I do.
But this show has potential, I can't wait for the next season.
