Alan Cumming is a welcome prime time star, but the show he's in, "Instinct" (CBS, 8 p.m.) is one of the sillier police procedurals around.
March 16, 2018
The setup isn't groundbreaking, but Cumming's character, who has a husband, Andy (Daniel Ings), who'd rather he stuck to academia, is, if only for the matter-of-factness of that one biographical detail.

With mischievous charm, Cumming freshens a premise familiar from "The Mentalist," "Castle" and "Elementary."

Cumming's talents are ill-used...

Unlike many other crime procedurals, Instinct is made up of some very interesting characters. Alan Cumming's Dylan is layered and charming.

Perhaps creator Michael Rauch hopes you'll be more entertained by Cumming and Novakovic. Maddy and Dave ("Moonlighting"), they're not.

He wears a lot of hats and his outfits are impeccable. It's kind of a perfect Cumming vehicle.

And yet, Cumming lights up the screen and makes your time with Reinhart great fun, even while you're rolling your eyes at the preposterous plot turns.
March 16, 2018
By-the-numbers procedural with a pair of appealing leads. Otherwise, by-the-book bland.

But what's most interesting in Instinct is the matter-of-fact presentation of Dylan's personal life as an openly gay married man, whose husband Andy isn't thrilled that Dylan is going back on the field. If he didn't, of course, there'd be no show.
