Instinct is a damn good show . It has everything and more that I like to see in a crime drama. It was left terribly open and hanging. If CBS is too stupid to at least give it another season or more, maybe Netflix or some other streaming service could pick it up. There are too many imagined stories for the main characters to be left like this.

Hoping that some other network will pick up the show and give us fans a chance to see more of the characters who truly were outstanding as individuals and interacting with each other. If this is truly the series finale, then I feel cheated!

I am very upset over the cancellation of Instinct. It was the best show on the air this summer and last summer also. The only other intelligent shows on this summer were Endeavor and Grantchester, both PBS shows. I loved the characters and the intelligence in it's writing. Boo to CBS. The people who run that network decided that theI.Q.S's of the people watching are sub par and must love quiz shows, reality shows and insipid comedy shows!

I totally agree - sadly it's just like the tv companies here in the UK.....why keep going with good, solid dramas when they can just churn out more cheap, moronic and brain dead reality rubbish? Reality tv is super cheap to make, dramas are expensive....that's the ONLY reason to cancel really good dramas like Instinct and keep pathetic, boring reality garbage going.

I really enjoyed Instinct. I enjoyed Dylan and especially loved seeing a same-sex couple in a stable, loving, committed relationship. That was truly refreshing. Yes, the cases were rather contrived, but I still got caught up in the procedural process. It's so unfair that it was not given a chance to wind up the season or even the entire. series. We fans were left dangling with so many threads. Shame on you, CBS!

That's what I loved the most - no ridiculous dramas about their private lives, just them being a happy stable couple - it must've been great for the LGBT+ community to see themselves being portrayed as just the same as everyone else. Just trying to earn a living and be happy. I would've REALLY loved to see them with Sam, their baby boy and each other in a final photo maybe. I really don't think either of them would've forgotten Sam and they would've kept in touch. Maybe that's the real reason it was cancelled, given the ridiculous conservative politics at the moment in the US. Either way - I feel so cheated. I agree with you - SHAME ON CBS!

This show was too good to cancel!! Hope another network picks it up...

Totally peed off that Instinct is cancelled. Where do these decisions get made? The whole show is extremely well made with great characters who have fantastic chemistry which makes this show one of the best going just now. Hopefully a streaming service will pick it up as someone must see it for the winner that it is

I am so damn sad.....this was one of the best dramas going and I loved ALL the characters. It was getting BETTER and really did NOT deserve to be cancelled. Maybe we should start a petition in the hopes Netflix or someone picks it up like they did Lucifer - even it's just one last season (or two) then at least the writers and actors can finally tie up the loose ends.
I get so mad that we have virtually wall to wall reality garbage both here in the UK and in America that go on for DECADES no matter how bad the ratings are, yet dramas that have a really solid fanbase and reasonable ratings (or even good ratings) get cancelled.

I loved ‘Instinct’. I am in the UK and I thought it was a great show. I loved all the actors. Alan Cummings is brilliant and everyone else.
It had great storylines, humour and romance and it was lovely seeing a same sex couple who were so good together.
I really was looking forward to seeing more of it. I have bought the two first seasons and watch them over and over.
This is a too common occurrence in the US - cancelling shows and I am getting sick of it. The moment you get interested in one it’s gone.
The same applies to Reverie which I also enjoyed.
Please re think this or let someone else take it over.
Send it over here !

I admit I wasn't totally happy with the finale. As a season finale it might have been okay, but even so, I think there were some weaknesses.
We were obviously meant to believe that Dylan was hallucinating when he heard "Goodman" while in the MRI machine. I think having Goodman appear to Dylan there was sort of a cheat. Where were the medical personnel? How did Goodman get in to that secure area? And why didn't Dylan ask him any of those questions?? If Julian hadn't spoken to Goodman himself, I would have continued to believe that Dylan imagined the whole thing. (Again, I think that was the point.) ANd then suddenly Dylan says "Oh, my vision problems were just due to stress, I'm fine." That was a huge cop-out. The man was a spy and risked his life on a regular basis, and now he works with the NYPD... and I'm supposed to believe that a few unexplained occurrences is making him see and hear things??
A minor point: Did Nebraska Ryan really think he could "live" out of the locker room for a week or more--and nobody would notice? That was kind of lame. And lastly, I don't have a problem with Dylan loaning Lizzie his motorcycle, but making the 'exchange' on the street was weak. She had no luggage. She didn't even give her dog a hug or kiss. Lizzie might have been borrowing the bike to run to the grocery store, for all it looked like.
I'll miss this show, but at least it got two seasons. That's something to be grateful for.

I'm so disappointed that this show was not given a third season. Started to see it because of Alan Cummings then got to like the others. They get us hooked then it's gone!

I love Alan... saw his one man show in Santa Barbara to a sold out theatre. Fabulous!
Looking forward to his return to television or Prime Video. Thought ‘Instinct’ was well done.
Bummer they couldn’t continue that story line...

seems like they always cancel good shows. Keep the garbage.
