Prime Video’s Gritty Crime Thriller Cross Is Reacher-Adjacent and Bingeable

Prime Video’s Cross, starring Aldis Hodge, leans into a hard-edged, no-nonsense approach: a relentless lead, a widening case, and violence that feels grounded rather than comic-book clean. The series favors pursuit over puzzles; the central question isn’t who did it so much as how far the investigator will go.

Hodge plays a brilliant, damaged detective whose personal life bleeds into the work, raising emotional stakes in a manner familiar to Reacher viewers. The show has held high chart positions across multiple markets, suggesting sustained view-through rather than a one-day spike.

At the time of writing it was #1 in Austria and Germany and sitting in the Top 3 in key territories including the U.S. (#3). It was also #3 in the U.K. and Canada, and #2 in Brazil, France and Nigeria, typically camped in the #2–#4 band. Cross debuted in 2024 and Season 2 is currently airing; the next episode airs on March 4, 2026.
