Cross: Official trailer
The highly anticipated Amazon Prime series Cross, based on the character created by renowned author James Patterson, has arrived on our screens.

Ryan Eggold has been cast in the role of the villain, promising to be a formidable adversary for the hero.
The show's creators hope that viewers will recognise and appreciate Eggold's performance and go far as to say they hope some of the audience will be 'seduced' by him, reports the Mirror.
His co-stars have already likened his character, Ed Ramsey, to the Joker in Batman.
