It reminds me a bit of <i>Columbo</i> in that the dramatic tension comes from watching the protagonists get to the truth of the matter. What is important is <i>why</i> the event happened, not whodunit. It works.<br /><br />Of course, I don't hold out much hope for this show. We have only had a couple of episodes and now it is on hiatus while ABC shows the NBA finals. Nice way to lose momentum, I would think.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-65199311579138546672013-06-02T15:19:11.148-04:002013-06-02T15:19:11.148-04:00I'm curious to catch Motive.

Procedurals (when they work) usually work by keeping its audience guessing and by giving us a big piece of the puzzle upfront, they are reducing their scope in a scary way. Okay, so we don't know who did it or how, but why is generally the most interesting part. Unless the crimes are absolutely brilliant like in Monk or Sherlock.<br /><br />I miss intelligent procedurals. Raines was so awesome. And Boomtown. And Awake, obviously.sunbunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553429350476841139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-6102508637896451682013-05-22T10:56:51.068-04:002013-05-22T10:56:51.068-04:00Thanks so much for this.
