Killer Instinct is an American crime drama television series filmed in Vancouver that originally aired on the Fox Network.

[2] Fox ordered 13 episodes, only nine of which were broadcast in the United States; the remaining four premiered in the UK on Five, then on Universal HD.

Hale has a history of causing tension in whatever department to which he is assigned, as much for his abrasive nature towards co-workers as the direct and sometimes unsettling manner in which he conducts investigations.

Hale's reputation is also worsened by the infamy of his father, a self-confessed serial killer currently serving life in prison.

Nonetheless, this strong familiarity with serial killers leads to Hale being recruited by the Deviant Crimes Unit.
