About this show

From Daniel Cerone, the executive producer of Dexter and The Mentalist, comes Motive, a thrilling crime drama with a unique twist focusing not on who did the crime, but why the crime was committed in the first place. When murder is committed, Angie Flynn, a loving, single mother and a damned good homicide detective, along with her partner, Detective Oscar Vega, are on the case, looking for clues that will lead them to the killer. But "Motive" turns the tried-and-true crime drama formula on its head by identifying the Killer and Victim at the beginning of each episode.

I LOVE this program. Why r all the good shows cancelled? I like their selection of actors, storylines, characters. Angie's my fave. Please bring this show back. Its something out of the ordinary. We now have a gazillion channels & very few good, interesting shows to watch.
