    Sad this had to end!

    Excellent TV show with great plot and original twists!

    The cast were all outstanding, the cinematography on point, the directing sheer perfection and the writing - as original as it gets!

    I'm shocked at the negative reviews on "Oh, why would they tell you who the killer and victims are right at the start?" Well, that's what made this series incredible - originality!

    I am very saddened and shocked why this show ended. Kristin Lehman's character was very real and original and I'm going to miss her funny quirks and attitude!

    I'm also going to miss the beautiful scenic shots of Vancouver and area - simply stunning!

    I hope some network picks this up again!

    A very well deserved 10/10 perfection from me!

    "Motive" A Cop Show to Watch.!

    Kristen Lehman & Louis Ferreira are A Great Cop/detective duo that are exceptional at what they do. At first, when this show was advertised, I thought not another Cop series; but was I in for a surprise. This Show begins by revealing the Victim & Killer, then moves onto the storyline of Motive. It is intriguing & full of suspense that keeps you coming back for more. I Recommend This Series as a 10 out of 10; It also being A Canadian Production.!!! The episodes become more exciting and the different cast in each episode are believable. Sorry to learn that it came to an end..😞 Please bring back this Series.....

    Not perfect, but one of a kind...

    Given that each episode starts off with identifying both the killer as well as the victim, this is a one of a kind series. The premise doesn't look that strong nor does it seem like it would be worth watching when you already know the identities of both victim & killer. But like the name suggests; Motive is entirely about the motive that leads the killer to kill the victim.

    Call me crazy, but I love this show so far and don't see myself not watching it. If you, like me, love watching drama that explore the psyche of people and what drives them to do what they do, then you'll love this one. Most of the time when you're introduced to the killer, you can't place him/her as a killer and it's interesting to watch what leads them there.

    The one thing that's left to be desired right now from this series is that you don't have much to connect with the leads of the show. I'm probably gonna stick around and see where this one goes.

    Watch for Kristen Lehman's performance alone....

    Love this show. Great settings in and around Vancouver and an extremely well produced Canadian show. US love to ignore Canadian productions generally, but this is definitely a winner!

    Kristen has some brilliantly-written dialogue...very off-the-cuff-type,,,,,,which makes her character so believable.

    In fact, all characters are very well played. Nice to see cop partners who obviously enjoy working together...they are very natural. Also nice to see Warren Christie has joined the cast.

    Really enjoying the concept of trying to figure out the 'motive' as opposed to the victim/killer! Would be great to have some 2-parters for a change of pace! Truly hope this series gets the go ahead for a third season.

    Great shows still exist!

    Motive is a very special treat. I love how instead of figuring out "who dunnit" the show is based on "why they dunnit." It's such a great twist to try to come up with the motive. A show giving you the victim and the killer right up front is really turning the tables. You have to think in a slightly different way. It's a great concept that works. Sometimes murder mysteries are easy to figure out and very boiler plate. In Motive the acting is excellent. The stories are well thought out and don't follow a cookie cutter format. I look forward to every episode. I hope this show goes on for many seasons because quality TV is so very hard to find. This show is a gem! I highly recommend it!
