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?
don’t cancel it
Please, please don’t cancel “Motive.” It is a novel twist on the crime procedural that requires the audience to think. The cast is wonderful and deserve to be rewarded with a second season (as does the viewing public!)
Novel concept. Worthy of continued investment by the network.
Love the show. Please renew.
Please do NOT cancel this show. It is a GREAT show.
Great show please don’t even think of cancelling it. There are so few good, enjoyable shows on TV now.
So many absolute trash( like The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family to name two)
Love the show ,the characters have great chemistry…unique series. Please renew it for 2015
Thank you!
What a dirty trick to pull on your fans. After getting to know the characters, then you cancel it? What is the point? It’s a great show. Pull something else but not Motive.
Love this show. Format is so different! Please don’t cancel!!
PLEASE!!!!!Don’t cancel this show. This is one of the best things on TV. I love the characters, They work really well together, the writing is quality, it’s a great new twist, and the actors are great, especially the partners! There is so much crap on TV, why pull a quality show??????????????
Clearly Motive is one of the best programs to come along in a very long time. The acting is superb and the set design perfect for the somber business of criminal justice. Renew now!
I really love Motive. The characters work well together and the concept of finding the reason behind the murder is great. Please renew!
I like the show, but the voice over is hard to understand. This weeks episode seemed to be missing the voices all together. I deleted it. This network has this problem on many of their series.
This is a great show. One of the best and one of my favorites. They need to have at least another season
Motive is too good to lose. Look forward to watching it every week. Love the subtle twists
