    For some reason I didn't think it would be much, but I decided to give it a shot and I loved it. The whole deal: the acting, the stories, the production.

    Johnny Messner is an amazing actor. Period. They really messed up when they took this show off of the air. I really miss it.

    Why does tv have to be 'reality' style or deep and meaningfull to be good? Killer Instinct was fun to watch, pure entertainment!

    Not sure what show those Reviewers watch but when it comes to a good show that keeps things interesting ... Killer Instinct is it! Maybe those who reviewed need to listen to the viewers who watch it. I thought the actors were superb, and I'm hoping FOX with return it , I guess if the show had more sexual content it would've been given a better review...............In my opinion Not sure what show those Reviewers watch but when it comes to a good show that keeps things interesting ...

    PLEASE,PLEASE bring killer instinct back. this is 1 of my bast shows and please give it another chance. Every Friday I would be so excited in watching it but now every friday is a disaster. And it will never be the same so please bring it back and DEFINITLY KEEP THE CHARACTERS on there because it would not be the same if they did not play on it either.

    Please, please bring Killer Instinct back. I watched all the shows, and I do not think enough time was given for this show. I think it was just one of the most intense series and was really getting into its characters. Please bring it back -- of course with the same cast. Please!

    I love Johnny Messner. I think he did (I hope doing) a wonderful job, I absolutely love him. Killer Instinct is one of the best crime shows on television. I am really hoping that Fox will continue the series, because I would watch that every Friday night. I didn't miss one episode, I loved it that much!!! Please, Fox bring Killer Instinct back!!!

    I personally loved this show. I also have loved MANY other shows that FOX has decided to cancel despite a big following behind them. Maybe more of us need to join the "nielsen" families, or petition FOX to bring the show back. The stories were diverse and interesting, and the cast seemed to mesh well, with dramatic plotlines. I rarely watch the network now, so if they don't improve I I personally loved this show. I also have loved MANY other shows that FOX has decided to cancel despite a big following behind them.

    I look forward to Friday nights when the show airs. I think the female lead needs to be a little less doe eyed but other than that...I think it has good chemistry...nice flow. Plus it can't hurt that the male lead is yummy

    It's not awful, exactly, but it's so willfully bleak as to become monotonous.

    Nothing could really prepare anyone for a show so wantonly grisly as this worthless, exploitative program.
