Here in the states, the Motive TV show can hardly be called a ratings success. However, it’s doing well enough in Canada for CTV to renew it for a third season. Production resumes this fall.
Motive revolves around a strong-willed Vancouver detective (Kristin Lehman) who’s also a single mom. At the start of each episode, viewers are shown the killer and victims. As the criminal investigation progresses, details of what led to the crime are revealved via flashbacks. The rest of the cast includes Louis Ferreira, Lauren Holly, Roger Cross, Brendan Penny, and Cameron Bright.
Though last summer’s ratings weren’t very good, ABC picked up the 13 episodes of season two and they started airing last week. Season two’s ratings have been even worse and it’s currently the network’s lowest-rated summer show.
ABC only licenses the show so it’s cheaper for them than producing their own summer dramas. Could the ratings be poor enough this year so that it wouldn’t make sense for them to air the show, even at a low cost? We shall see.
What do you think? Do you like the Motive series? Would you like to see season three air on ABC?
Love this show! Smartly written and well acted! A family favorite. Hoping ABC willcontinueto air this show!
It’s one of the best summer program. Hopefully they will bring it back next season. It really makes you think.
I hope the program is brought back next season. It’s one of the best summer show.
My husband and I love this show!!!
I really enjoy this show. I watched most of the episodes on Cox’s On Demand because I usually go to bed early.
Please renew for Season 3. I really enjoy seeing the two lead characters interact, and I enjoy the show’s premise.
I LOVE Motive and would really appreciate it’s return toABC for another season!
I like the show. I think I would like to see another season, even though I watch on hulu.
Love the show, different twist. Like the two lead characters, they have great chemistry. Please bring it back another season.
We really like this show and don’t want it to be canceled. It’s a well written show with good actors and interesting story lines.
Great show! So different for a police show. ABC should bring it back. Loyal viewers would be grateful.
I love this show too. Please bring it back for season 3 in the USA.
I want Motive to continue in the US
Really hope ABC renews Motive for another season, Season 3. It’s a good show and deserves more of a fan base than it apparently has in the U.S.
Great characters and a storyline that nearly always takes me by surprise.
The only problem is that the loud background music and background noise makes the dialogue on this show harder to hear than any show ever.
I love this show. Please bring it back.
