Instinct

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.

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

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.

I won't pretend to be cutesy like some reviewers. I am just a viewer who likes the show. I love the entire cast, and while the story lines are often improbable (What new plot is left to portray in crime dramas? Nada) I enjoy the interaction of the characters, and the way they are portrayed. Frankly I am sick and tired of seeing gay people played as mincing queens by being wannabe Divine's. Cumming's and Ing's relationship comes across as genuine and caring, and with affection. I'm straight & have three gay nephews, two with husbands, and I am tired of seeing their lifestyle trivialized by writers and directors who think Modern Family (I hate the show) is the model. Maybe that I am so happy to see a non-exploitative portrayal I look past the writing weaknesses. But I will continue to watch the series and hope the writers/directors do better.

First review! Hopefully everyone can appreciate Alan Cummings' personality showing through his acting...especially his monologue and the ability for fast dialogue! :)
