You’ve seen him in New Amsterdam and The Blacklist, he’ll surprise you with his new detective series to watch on Prime Video

Prime Video released Cross online a few days ago, its latest detective series that follows the paper hero imagined by James Patterson. Portrayed by actor Aldis Hodge, it sees this cop, devastated by the death of his wife, on the hunt for an evil and dangerous serial killer.

Here’s what we thought!

Viewers will most likely recognize actor Ryan Eggold in the cast. At the age of 40, the actor has a busy career. Some discovered him in 2013 on TF1, thanks to the police series Blacklist, in which he played Tom Keane, the husband of the heroine played by Megan Boone. A character who reveals himself throughout the seasons by playing a double game…

A role that goes against the grain

Five years later, he convinced NBC to give him the lead role in a medical series. He starred in New Amsterdam for 5 years, where he played Dr. Max Goodwin, the director of one of the oldest hospitals in the United States in New York.

It aims to reform neglected institutions by removing bureaucracy to provide exceptional care to its patients. But his battles will be manifold as he must win back his pregnant estranged wife and also fight the cancer that is gnawing at him every day…

Experience that will allow him to be particularly popular and in demand. Evidenced by his latest project, The Cross, in which Eggold tries to change his hair to escape his past roles.

His character Ed Ramsey is presented as a charismatic and influential person who leaves no one indifferent. He will be a strong opponent for Alex Cross. Ryan Eggold amazes and explodes playing a manipulative, vicious and especially dangerous character. The antithesis of what we are used to seeing about him.

Cross has 8 episodes to enjoy right now on Prime Video.
