Hodge partly attributes the more faithful portrayal to the deeper storytelling that episodic television is able to achieve.

We are not just focused on the cases.

Were interested in the cases because we live with and love the people, he says.

Its essentially a matter of the amount of time TV shows have to tell their story.

Those are all granted to us just because of the format, says Hodge.

So we have what we call Bens Chili North up in Toronto.

I call him the Michael Jordan and that makes me the Scottie Pippen, Mustafa says.

It was definitely a collaboration reading between the lines of what [Ben] has written, says Walkes.

[Ben] writes funny, well-rounded characters that have layers to them.

Gesturing to her otherCrosscast members, she also points out that the audience will likely feel the same attraction.

Its not very difficult to bring flirtation into a cast this beautiful!

she says, laughing.

Not all the characters are fun and friendly, however.

After all, every good show needs a good antagonist!

All eight episodes of Cross premiere Thursday, November 14 on Prime Video.
