Instinct

Instinct follows a former CIA operative who is lured back to his old life when the NYPD needs his help to stop a serial killer. Dr. Dylan Reinhart is a gifted author and university professor living a quiet life teaching psychopathic behavior to packed classes of adoring students. But when tenacious top NYPD detective Lizzie Needham 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 and comes out of retirement. Helping them is Julian Cousins, Dylan's invaluable CIA comrade who rivals Dylan in brilliance and wit, and can get top-secret dirt on anyone, anywhere, anytime. Lizzie's boss, Lt. Jasmine Gooden, is glad to see her best detective finally agree to work with someone on a case, since Lizzie has refused any partner since a tragic event one year ago. But as Dylan feels reenergized tapping into his old skill set, his husband, Andy, is concerned that Dylan's breaking their pact about putting away his cloak and dagger for good. 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.

Im getting CASTLE / ELEMENTARY vibes from this show so far...its watchable but not really satisfying.

I am enjoying a prominant gay couple being potrayed in a positive way and its fun to see English actor DANIEL INGS as Cummings husband...even though hes hardly done anything so far...

4 episodes in and i dont see anything remotely interesting in the series. As much as i love Alan Cumming and his acting i just cant imagine him as an ex CIA operative.There is nothing dark about him and is nearly impossible to think that his character has actually killed people and has done all those shady staff that CIA operatives usually do. I think that was a risky cast choice that didnt pay out. I guess they tried to play with the contradiction "what you see, its not what you get" unsuccesfully...
