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 think it is a great show and would be very disappointed if it isn’t renewed, it makes Wednesday’s worth turning on the TV, nothing else does.
I love the show “Motive,” and would love to see season 3 in the US.
Love the show, Motive. Hoping to be able to enjoy Season 3 as much as I enjoy the first two Seasons. It really is a great show!
I love this show. It’s not stupid and the stars don’t look like they stepped off the runway at a fashion show. All attractive but look like they have lived more than twenty years. Not a stupid, boring reality show.
Keep the show!
its better than most things abc does … AIR SEASON 3!!!!!!!
Love the show! Keep it on! The characters have incredible chemistry and the story lines are awesome.
Love this show
I love this show!!!!
You forgot Warren Christie. I like this show very much. Maybe Netflix will carry Season 3.
I really really like this show. It’s always so interesting to watch it develop. Would really miss it.
We love this show – characters are people you can care about, director Andy Mikita is amazing (love those transitions!), the whole tone and style are very appealing. The concept is unique and fascinating.
I love this show! KEEP IT ON!
We love the show! The actors are great, story lines are fun and interesting, and the cinematography is excellent. ABC, please keep the show here in the USA
Please bring it back. I live the chemistry of the show’s stars!
I love the series Motive and hopefully you will renew it for season 3.It is a great show and I love the interaction with the characters.
