    I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

    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 is the special kind of thriller drama, instead of finding the killer like most of series and knowing the motives of the kill, it is very exciting to find the motive from the killer perspective. Lot of potential for this series can been seen in the coming years, I also love the fact that this series is a real thriller or police drama, there is no on going romance between the colleagues like most of the dramas nowadays but a real life scenarios of politics, psychological burdens within the real life and work! In real life, we don't fall in love or lust with our colleagues and we don't have sex with every other person we meet in bar but still we lo.Love it and hove and care about our colleagues and can be just very good or best friends without the hope of having with bed with him or her. Love it will and hope it will continue soon!

    Quirky has been in now for quite some time - lately Perception, The Neighbors and Suburgatory, Fairly Legal, Person of Interest, How to Live With Your Parents - all quite successful and, now, from Canada, Motive.Premise is dangerous for two reasons: many cop show fans (as demonstrated by some of the reviews) watch for the mystery and its solution, period. That decimates Motives' potential fan base.Second reason - what the hell do you do with the rest of the 46 minutes, once victim and perp are exposed? You're forced to focus on character interaction and, in that respect, Motive excels. Perkypops' review nails it for me.Kristen Lehman, alone, is worth my 9 stars (actually 10, doesn't get any better) and she gets strong assists from Louis Ferreira and Lauren Holly as well as the rest of the ensemble.Flaws, there are a few (actually a few more than a few) arising from trying to deal with the premise but the strength of the ensemble overwhelms them. It's just plain fun to watch these characters interact.Finally I'll return to a personal tonic: review the show. Many of the negative reviews don't and I particularly note the 'Columbo' comparison. Loved Peter Falk and occasionally enjoyed an episode but wasn't a fan. Too Hollywood, too Desi-Lu like, too just plain blah! Comparing Columbo to Motive is like comparing Cheers to The Love Boat.Kinda, what?

    Shows starts out showing you who the killer is and who the victim is. Then the evidence points at one suspect who is framed but Det. Flynn comes to the rescue every time determined that someone else has to be the killer when her peers believe they have the right suspect. At least she can wait and allow the evidence to point at someone else before being convinced that the first suspect could not have committed the crime because they do not have a criminal background or she believes they do not fit the crime. Come on, be a little realistic and at least let the evidence direct them to the real killer instead of Flynn always being right. also, let some of the other detectives solve a crime. It is almost to the point they don't need anyone else since Flynn is always right and solving the crime. Personally I do not think the show will last. If Vegas gets cancelled this show will definitely be cancelled.
