Motive

Motive is a Canadian crime drama television series that centers on the "why" behind a crime, rather than the "who." Each episode begins with the commission of a murder, and the viewers are aware of the killer from the outset. The show then follows the investigation led by Detective Angie Flynn and her team as they work to uncover the complex motives and circumstances that led to the killing.

Motive received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its unique procedural format that focused on the killer's motivations and the subsequent investigation. The performances, particularly from the lead cast, were often highlighted. While some found the formulaic nature predictable, it was generally appreciated for its intelligence and engaging storylines.

• Praised for its innovative approach to the crime procedural by revealing the killer early on.
• The focus on motive and character development was a refreshing change from traditional "whodunnit" mysteries.
• Strong performances from the main cast contributed to the show's appeal.
