Review of Motive

Motive (2013–2016)
6/10
Not Bad, Not Great
2 June 2013
The concept is different points for that, the overall cinematography nice in comparison to the flat washed out look you get from most Canadian dramas.

Unfortunately the flat and washed out comes in via the story lines and characters. Don't get me wrong I love Kristin Lehman, and she does a good job as does Louis Ferreira, but the connection between them still feels blah and not very flushed out. You want to care about the characters and you just don't, even in the pilot when you meet her son it was so boring and snooze-ville and didn't feel at all like mother son, but brother and sister.

This has been a repeat I've seen from many a CTV produced Canadian dramas, flat characters, flat story lines, overall leading to a generally flat drama. Sure it's better than an episode of The Bachelor, but only just barely.
