Motive: Season One Ratings

Published: September 1, 2013

Motive TV show ratingsThere are plenty of crime dramas but Motive has a twist. The audience is shown the killer’s identity at the start of each episode. Will this be enough to make it a ratings winner for ABC? We shall see.

I am among those people who hopes Motive is renewed. The lead character is interesting, likable, and someone I had never seen. This show’s cast, with the exception of Lauren Holly, is new to me. That’s refreshing. It’s also great to see something not shot in New York or LA.

Don’t understand why everyone thinks this show is so great. The premise is NOT new or original, it has been done before, but those shows didn’t last and were cancelled early. Admittedly, the writing in this try is better, except for the female lead. I like all the characters, except her. I don’t know if its the writing or actress, but the character is extremely annoying and unsympathetic. Get rid of her or replace her and I think I’d enjoy the show more.

Renew! Great characters; entertaining and interesting. Sure beats the reality drivel out there.

Love the show! Like watching how victim and killers paths cross. Worried that its a ABC show though because it seems whenever I get interested in one of their shows they end up canceling it. This show is so much better than Rookie Blue which is a over rated show. Hopefully Motive will continue on. People out there gotta watch this show.

ABC just bought the rights to air it- it’s actually made in Canada. Much cheaper for ABC this way, so there’s hope! Also, my understanding is that this was Canada’s #1 new show this year… So, even if ABC decides not to rebroadcast it (they don’t have the ability to cancel it), there will still undoubtedly be a season 2 made, it’ll just be more difficult for you to locate the medium in which to watch them!

I love the show “Motive”!!!! I think revealing the victim and killer at the beginning of the show is brilliant!! It’s a different twist that this type of show hasn’t tried before and it works!!! Please don’t cancel this show!!!! I have been a tv viewer for many years and I can’t recall ever writing in to save a show. I look forward to Thursday nights because of “Motive”!!!

Hey! I LOVE watching Motive!!!!!! I am a HUGE fan! I find it MORE interesting than MANY other kinds of Dramas on Television today! I LOVE the characters and their interactions! I think it’s VERY entertaining, too!! And, I, for one, can with 100% honesty say that the Summer combination Series’ of Motive and Rookie Blue are PERFECT together! One more thing, I have been watching primarily ABC Television since I was a little Girl and I have seen A LOT of various shows being canceled for this or that reason. Shows that deserved a second Season, but didn’t get… Read more »
