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 husband and I really enjoyed Motive and I hope it returns. There aren’t many shows that are that interesting and we are not into sitcoms or reality shows.
I’m so tired of all the good shows for “adults” being cancelled It has a new shelf life PLEASE LET IT CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We really enjoy watching this show. It has a great Cast and story lines! We’ve watched it from the beginning. Please DO NOT CANCEL MOTIVE!
I like the show a lot, would like to see a fifth season and more. I have not seen
Louis Ferreira (Vega) in resent episodes, is he going to make any future appearances ?
A great cast., solid storylines, character development that isn’t surreal but seems realistic. DO NOT CANCEL.
love this show!
DO NOT CANCEL!
I hope this gets renewed – I’ve followed it since the pilot episode, and it has only gotten better.
Love, love, love this show and wish it had been renewed for a 5th season. Just glad I got to see season 3 and, hopefully, season 4 on USA!!!
Love the show so glad USA picked it up. Please don’the cancel this show. Too many good shows are getting cancelled hope this will not be one of them
I really do not want to see this series end. It is sch an intelligent and innovative concept.
Love the actors and this show…thank USA for picking it up..thank the former network for originally placing it on their show list to enjoy..
.too many good shows like Motive and their Actors are simply not given the respectability for their craft.
I would like to see more of Motive. It was one of the best crime dramas on TV. I love the start of the show. It really makes you wonder, how someone who doesn’t fit the profile could commit murder.
Definitely renew – one of the best shows on TV.
I thoroughly enjoy MOTIVE and Kristin Lehman is fun to watch! Her personality shows through and the scripts are great!
So glad USA picked up this great series.
