It is impossible to discuss Instinct Season 1 without acknowledging the historical significance of its lead. Dylan Reinhart was network television’s first openly gay lead character in a broadcast drama series.
★★★☆☆ (3.5/5) Best for: Viewers who enjoy light procedurals with psychological twists and a charismatic, unconventional lead.
In the landscape of TV history, this was a monumental step. However, what made the character truly revolutionary was how "normalized" his life was portrayed. In many series, a gay character’s storyline revolves entirely around their sexuality—the coming out story, the struggle for acceptance, the tragedy. In Instinct , Dylan’s sexuality is simply a fact of his existence, much like his eye color or his Scottish accent.
