Former CIA operative is lured back to his old life when the NYPD needs his help to stop a serial killer. Dr. Dylan Reinhart (Alan Cumming) is a gifted author and university professor living a quiet life teaching psychopathic behavior to packed classes of adoring students. But when top NYPD detective Lizzie Needham (Bojana Novakovic) appeals to him to help her catch a serial murderer who is using Dylan's first book as a tutorial, Dylan is compelled by the case, comes out of retirement and taps into his old skill set. Though Dylan and Lizzie initially clash, when it comes to catching killers, they realize they will make an ideal team if they both trust their instincts. Based on the James Patterson book.
I once thought Bones was the most insulting effort for a series I'd ever tried to watch without vomiting. This show is far worse, because it copies so much of Bones, the entire production staff should be pilloried. Oddball ex-CIA paired with a less odd female detective, and I doubt either can get their shoes on the proper feet without assistance. I watched the first episode, and it was too campy for its inferior script, so I skipped episode two, and hoped by episode three it might have found its bearings. It's already been noted in another review that episode three of Instinct ripped off the plot of the murdered Amish boy, a piano prodigy, and it shamelessly plagiarizes the Bones script with a few very minor changes. I hope the screenwriters volunteered their inferior services, and the network wasn't stupid enough to actually pay for this tripe. I know I won't be back for future episodes, because this isn't even a "nice try" at entertaining anyone. I liked Alan Cumming in Good Wife, but he must have been drunk when he reviewed this script and decided it sounded like a winner.
