Killer Instinct (TV series)

"Killer Instinct" was an hour-long crime drama television series broadcast on the FOX Network. The pilot episode aired on September 23, 2005 and the final episode aired on December 2, 2005.

The show starred Johnny Messner as Detective Jack Hale of the San Francisco Police Department Deviant Crimes Unit. The unit's mission is to track down the perpetrators of unusual crimes within the city. The definition of a deviant crime is not explicitly stated within the show. Each new crime spree is investigated by the head of the unit, Lieutenant Matt Cavanaugh (Chi McBride) who judges whether the crime is deviant enough to be investigated by the DCU. The subjective nature of this process has led Hale's partner, Detective Danielle Carter (Kristin Lehman), to try to define a deviant crime. Despite her efforts, Hale remains convinced that deviance is in the eye of the beholder.

FOX recorded 13 episodes, only 9 episodes were broadcast in the United States, although the remaining 4 were premiered in other countries where the series was broadcast. In the UK, it aired on Five (now airing on Five US), in France the series was broadcast on M6, in New Zealand it was broadcast on TV3 and later on The Box, and in Italy it's broadcasting on Italia 1.
