Instinct

Die Krimiserie „Instict“ basiert wie schon die CBS-Serie „Zoo“ auf einem Roman von Autor James Patterson, genauer gesagt auf dem Buch „Dr. Death“. Alan Cumming, der neben dem Vorlagenautor sowie Alex Kurtzman und Michael Rauch als Executive Producer fungiert, wird einen ehemaligen CIA-Agenten spielen, der aus dem Ruhestand gerissen wird, als die New Yorker Polizei im Fall eines Serienkillers Unterstützung benötigt.

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.
