Dr. Dylan Reinhart is a former CIA operative who's created a quieter life for himself as a professor and author of a best-selling book on abnormal behavior. When tenacious and resourceful NYPD detective Lizzie Needham approaches him to help her solve a serial killer case, he taps into his old skill set and reaches out to a CIA friend who has access to invaluable top-secret intelligence. As Dylan gets lured back into the adrenaline filled world of law enforcement, he and Lizzie realize that, together, they make the perfect team.

Matt Zoller Seitz New York Magazine/Vulture 07/10/2019
The show's tendency to look away from Dylan's sexuality seems to have affected the rest of Instinct as well. Go to Full Review Caitlin Wyneken Tell-Tale TV 07/02/2019
4/5
"Grey Matter" brings the show to a premature end, leaving us with so much we'll never get to see. Go to Full Review Tim Appelo AARP Movies for Grownups 06/19/2019
Both critics and viewers were right: The writing is a bit stiff and formulaic, and Cumming is irresistibly watchable. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Oct 15 11 successful episodes on Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) and Paramount+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ages 14 and older!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 09/13/2021 Alan C is superb. The story lines are interesting, the production value is a bit weak and the supporting cast is more Hollywood than city cop. Still, Alan is superb. See more 11/21/2020 Season Two was better than the first season. That is not saying much. The acting was forced and choppy and the whole show was poorly written. The police drama had jumps in logic and often failed at logic all together, I had to take a break from watching and watched Julie and the Phantasm (made for teenagers) much better show. I was very disappointed. See more steph r 09/12/2019 I cannot believe that this show has been cancelled. WHY are you leaving those stupid reality shows - who cares about the wives of Beverly hills... Really they act like grade school insecure babies. CBS I expected more from you. I pay to watch your shows because they were entertaining. This show with Alan Cummings was so good. Not all the acting was great, but he and Julian and Alan's hubby on the show were good. please reconsider. See more Read all reviews
