Instinct

Alan Cumming (Eli Gold on The Good Wife) plays a Dan Brown like character, a symbologist/psychologist who teams up with a chirpy female police detective to track down a serial killer (pilot). The dialog is witty; the acting brisk and convincing. It's a fun series well worth a look!

Why all this hate ? I'm reading very bad reviews about this new series and I do not understand it at all. The acting, writing and filming are abundantly over average. I mean, if you're looking for fun and relaxation, a touch of irony and "old school" procedural, this is your kind of show, like Rizzoli & Isles, or The mentalist or Perception.I don't mention Castle purposely,because it has already been enough involved, but I think that kind of chemistry is very rare and unpredictable

Instinct was an enjoyable series with mild stories, good acting and an average flow. It lacked thrill and suspense, was taking itself a little too seriously and distracting itself from main goals with various light and (unneeded) sub-plots. For once, I wasn't surprised that it got cancelled as it basically was dragging episode after episode with nothing really concrete ahead thrill and crime-wise. IMO, It lacked invigorating darkness, had a big cheesy & cliche package and too many light moments. Of course, opinions differ.

Although, the network could have shown season 2_episodes 12 and 13, which most probably had been filmed and could have provided the audience with the courtesy of finishing the season with complete episodes, instead of a mumbo ending.

Unfortunately, that only shows complete lack of respect for the viewers.

Lots of similarities to castle. likable characters and good plots. alan cummings owns it as always. binge watched the first season and cant wait for season 2. definitely an above average show. well worth a look.

I want this to work - badly! I love Alan Cumming, and anyone can see he's doing his best, but the both the writing and direction is so predictable, I wince. True, there are a plot twists, but the dialogue is awful! It's just awful!

The cast deserves better. Jim Patterson's work deserves better.
