TV show description:
This crime drama has a unique twist in that it doesn’t focus on who committed a crime, but why the crime was committed in the first place. As the mystery unfolds, winding between revealing flashbacks and present time, viewers navigate the twisted and complicated maze of each murder, solving the puzzle alongside the detectives, piecing together more of the mysterious connections that drove the killer to commit murder.
When a murder is committed, Detectives Angie Flynn (Kristin Lehman) and Oscar Vega (Louis Ferreira) are on the case, looking for clues that will lead them to the killer.
Sexy and feisty, Angie is a thirty-something single mom from the wrong side of the tracks who proves that appearances can be deceiving. Oscar is intelligent, thoughtful, methodical and confident. He comes from a wealthy family and turned his back on an expensive Harvard Divinity School education to join the police force (a change of heart from his initial choice of joining the priesthood).
Others on the homicide team are: Doctor Betty Rogers (Lauren Holly), a medical examiner with a quirky sense of humor that belies the grimness of her daily job. Staff Sergeant Boyd Bloom (Roger Cross), the Squad Room Supervisor who was sidelined from the streets a few years earlier by a bullet. Detective Brian Lucas (Brendan Penny), a young eager beaver detective and newlywed who’s eager to learn and is fascinated about the often grisly procedures.
Angie doesn’t suffer fools or authority figures lightly. At home, Angie only wants the best for her teenage son, Manny (Cameron Bright), who is one of the few things in life that she feels she did right. But as far as Manny’s concerned, being the son of a cop is not the easiest gig in the world.

What do you think? Do you like the Motive TV series? Do you think it should have been cancelled or renewed for a fifth season?
My wife and I like the way they pull the story together to find the killer.
This is a great show. Always keeps me interested and waiting for the next installment.
One of my favorite shows. Shows crime from a unique perspective which makes you want to watch it more and more. I think this is a prime-time hit-to-be!!!
GREAT TV SHOW … Well Acted & Well Written Script. It SHOULD BE RENEWED.
Best series on TV. Would be more than disappointed if it is not rewed.
I absolutely love Motive! Detectives Flynn and Vega have a fantastic relationship as partners! And it’s refreshing to get to see ‘whodunit’ right from the start and work backwards figuring the whys and hows.
I saw the season finale August 2014…but it ended as if it may not return for another season. I know they must have a huge fan base, so c’mon Motive fans–submit your comments to keep Motive from becoming a ‘VICTIM’ …and continue with more ‘KILLER’ seasons!
Love this show. Great approach and So different from other procedurals. Please Renew!!
I truly enjoy this show. Love the approach which is so different from other procedurals! Please renew!!
Great show, please renew. And keep same actors they are wonderful.
This is one of the best done series we have seen in a long time. Great acting,and keeps the mind active. KEEP IT ON!
Should be renewed.
Please do not cancel this show. It is different, interesting and not like anything else on TV. The characters are great!
This is a great show. Hopefully it will continue .
Yes Motive should be renewed for a third season. Like the plot twist; more interesting than the standard cop show format. And relatable characters portrayed by believable actors. One of my favorite shows on mainstream channels.
Motive is a great show. The actors are believable and the story lines are interesting. This show is not like any other show. A breath of fresh air!!!!!
