Good recommendation. Done with it in 3 nights. Decent show, well cast, with an original serial killer story not adapted from the novels.
Nowhere near as good as Bosch but then Patterson isn't as good a writer as Connelly imo.
Season 2 is on the way so will keep an eye out for that, but they'll need another villain, my guess (if going from the books) would be one of the characters from season 1 (no spoilers) along with another original storyline.
For a more faithful adaptation Morgan Freeman played Cross in 1997 and 2001 on the big screen in Kiss the Girls and Along Came a Spider. Both good movies though I haven't seen them for about 15 years.
You know what, my mind went off that way when I was watching it. I was dead certain Freeman did Along Came a Spider and was called Cross. So thank you for confirming I'm not mental.
