There was nothing within these episodes that made me desperate to see the next mystery, or which gave me a connection to these characters that I can see evolving considerably.

Lehman is good, most everything's OK, but nothing is especially fresh or compelling.

If you're into mystery shows, you could do a lot worse.

It's fun to watch Lehman nail her lines; she just needs a different show in which to do it.

You've heard of open-and-shut cases. Motive is more like open and yawn.

As viewers of Columbo will remember, detective stories have been giving away whodunit for at least 40 years.
May 16, 2013
As a whodunit with the who already answered, Motive is more than passable and quite a bit better than two of this season's string-along ABC clunkers -- Zero Hour and Red Widow.

Unfortunately, this gimmicky premise quickly renders the show a "whocares?,"
May 20, 2013
Motive's format isn't a completely original concept (the long-running TV mystery Columbo did for decades), but it definitely feels fresh among a crowded schedule of genre competitors.

Unfortunately, the missteps revealed on the show hardly demythologize the police.
