Amazon's "Reacher," starring Alan Ritchson, is a popular show that focuses on the action-packed character of Jack Reacher against bad guys. However, in its second season, "Cross" is a crime-thriller based on the "Alex Cross" novel series by James Patterson, with Aldis Hodge playing the lead role. The show has its own telling of the character and includes heavy discussion about modern social justice without being heavy-handed. Despite some criticism about the dark environments and lighting, there is an enthralling story to uncover. Other popular shows include "Jack Ryan," "The Terminal List," and "Butterfly".
