Dr. Dylan Reinhart (Alan Cumming) is a professor, famous writer, and a man with a CIA history. NYPD detective Lizzie Needham (Bojana Novakovic) has a bad history with partners after the death of her fiancée/partner. She investigates murders with clues referring to Reinhart's book. She recruits Reinhart for the case. Lt. Jasmine Gooden (Sharon Leal) is her boss and best friend who suggests taking on Reinhart as her new partner after the case. Julian (Naveen Andrews) is Reinhart's former colleague in the CIA. Also Reinhart is gay and married to Andy Wilson. The second season has small town police Ryan Stock from Nebraska joining the team to track down a serial killer.

It's another network police drama. It's got the cutie cop and it's got the big star. The only truly special aspect is Alan Cumming. He is brimming with charisma and that's why I really like this show even with all the network TV clichés. I don't know why Bojana has to dress up so much. I don't know why the viewership declined so badly in the second season. I hope that it's not due to the gay couple trying to adopt. I want to be clear. This is nothing that special. I simply love me some Alan Cumming.
