I’m totally hooked on Instinct! It’s a police show with Alan Cumming, and it just hit number one on a streaming service here in the UK. Honestly, it’s got such a clever, twisty plot and a fantastic cast – I can definitely see why everyone’s loving it.
In the series, Guy Pearce plays Dr. Dylan Reinhart, a college professor unexpectedly pulled back into criminal investigations when NYPD detective Lizzie Needham (Bojana Novakovic) asks for his assistance in tracking down a serial killer.
Based on the novels by James Patterson, the series centers around Dr. Dylan Reinhart, a talented writer and university professor. He leads a peaceful life teaching students about psychopathic behavior, and his classes are always full and popular.
What to Read Next
When determined NYPD detective Lizzie Needham asks for his help with a serial killer who’s using his first book as a guide, Dylan feels he has to get involved and comes out of retirement.
The film boasts a strong cast including Daniel Ings, Michael B. Silver, Danny Mastrogiorgio, Sharon Leal, Naveen Andrews, Travis Van Winkle, and Whoopi Goldberg, who will appear throughout the story.
The show, which originally aired in 2018 and 2019, has all 24 episodes now available to watch for free on 5’s streaming service in the UK. It’s quickly become popular with viewers, reaching the top of the streaming chart.
On IMDb, the movie Instinct has a user rating of 6.7/10 based on over 9,400 reviews. One viewer praised it as “excellent” and better than typical movies, giving it an 8 out of 10.
Another viewer shared their enthusiasm for the show, saying it’s a welcome change to see characters collaborate without any romantic tension. They particularly praised the chemistry between Alan Cumming and Bojana Novakovic, and highlighted the strength of the supporting cast.
While many enjoyed the show, not everyone did. One viewer expressed their disappointment, praising Alan Cumming’s performance but finding the writing and direction to be unoriginal and predictable.
So, Instinct wrapped up back in 2019 after two seasons, but Alan Cumming’s been busy! I just saw the trailer for Glenrothan – Brian Cox’s first time directing – and he’s in it! Looks interesting.
Instinct is streaming on Channel 5.
