Critics' reviews

"It’s reasonably smart, reasonably interesting and reasonably well acted without being particularly good"

Mike Hale: The New York Times
"Lehman’s character is allowed to exhibit a bit of a personal life, but for the most part the series doesn’t stray far from its criminal motif"

Brian Lowry: Variety
"Instead of being a 'whodunit', 'Motive' is a 'whydunit', which, except for the appeal of the show's star, amounts to a 'whocares'"

David Wiegand: San Francisco Chronicle
"There is really only one reason to watch ABC's Canadian-import place-holder crime drama Motive--Kristin Lehman"

Mary McNamara: Los Angeles Times
"You've heard of open-and-shut cases. 'Motive' is more like open and yawn"
