SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
bighbomb Ok it's no castle but castle is a hard act to follow. There's are glimpses of something good is coming. Given time could be a better than the average show. It's hard to come up with new gimmicks. The text thing was a bit hold hat now. Storyline well we had the bones amish character similarities but not had that before have we. We're five in and getting better.
Atli Hafsteinsson Alan Cumming puts on a twist on the popular crime drama genre with his dandy character Dylan Reinhart, a former CIA-operative turned criminal psychology professor. When his book on the subject is used by a serial killer, he is approached by hardened NY detective Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Needham. Surprising them both, they work very well together.What sets Instinct apart from other crime dramas is a few things. First and foremost is the humor, a lot of it stemming from Dylan's somewhat smug, flamboyant personality. But what really won me over (especially for a gay viewer) is the fact that he is gay, making him one of the few gay main characters on American TV. It's especially good because apart from a penchant for colorful suits, Dylan and his husband Andy are the most real-life gay characters on American TV, a far cry from the harmful stereotyping of Will & Grace and Modern Family. Even better, Dylan and Andy's relationship is very authentic.The rest of the cast are wonderful too. Serbian actress Bojana Novakovic is endlessly entertaining as her nonexistant sense of humor collides with Dylan's gleeful demeanor and teasing. The writing is all-around great, and the crimes have consistent solutions not apparent to the naked eye. It took a few episodes for Instinct to start rolling, but now I eagerly await every episode.
pellett48 I love this as a Summer fun show to watch. I adore Alan Cumming in anything and really like his husband on the show. It's got just enough of a light touch to make it enjoyable. I don't want heavy drama-big fan of escapism. I get all the dread drama on the news these days.
lrandall-14078 It's smart, funny and the cast has terrific chemistry!
