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?
I love “Motive”! I have been watching since the beginning! It seems that every time there is a good show on a major network, the execs always find a reason to cancel it. Maybe they should promote the show more & not be so quick to pull the plug!! Bring it back, ABC!!!!
This show is better than a good deal of ABCs lineup
please Great show bring it back….Love this show…..
I love Motive!!!!! Please bring it back
Yes I want to see season 3
I love this show pls being it to ABC. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!
i loved this show. Please renew it.
Yes! It’s a very interesting concept! I love the show and actors who are in it. please air this series because there are very few shows that I enjoy or are even given half a chance before they yank them off the air. Very tired of reality shows and trying to get half a chance to see how a show will play out. The tv and cable landscape is constantly changing with so many new shows not even worth a look. this show is different in a very good way.
Please bring Motive back!!!!!!!! I was looking forward to watching it this summer!!
Please bring it back! It’s one of the best shows I’ve ever seem.
Love the show and want it back.
LOVE IT! Bring it back to the US.
Yes, absolutely, ABC should show the 3rd season. Great show with a terrific cast!
Move the Motive show to 9:00 P.M. Mondays! It catch all the viewers of Castle! Rating will go up1 In Canada season 3 has already been shown. Signed on for season 4!
Moving it to 9:00pm Monday would run in conflict with to many things I watch, just like the old time.
We loved Motive! It was different with the beginning showing the ending. It had a strong female lead and that was good. I think it needs more time. We have been waiting for it to come back.
