Line of Events

Series adaptation of James Patterson novels about the complicated and brilliant detective, Alex Cross

Hodge is the third actor to portray Cross, following in the footsteps of Morgan Freeman, who first played him onscreen in 1997's Kiss the Girls and again in the 2001 movie sequel Along Came a Spider; and Tyler Perry as the titular character in 2012's Alex Cross, which bombed at the box office and led Lionsgate to scrap the preplanned sequel Double Cross..

Somehow, I've found the show more palatable with just as good writing and characters

I have read a couple of the Alex Cross books, and I found them to be too gruesome for my taste even though I thought they were well-written with good stories and characters.

But the picture is just so dark

I have to switch all the lights off in my room and turn the TV to bright mode (I have an LG OLED).

It's like the people responsible for picture quality were out to lunch

The cinematography is great in one respect, but in terms of picture brightness it is so far off from all other shows, it just throws me.

If they fixed this, it would be great
