Review of Motive

Motive (2013–2016)
7/10
Great Premise, Terrible Sound, Jumpy Timelines.
3 July 2014
I really like this show, but I only watch it recorded on DVD because sometimes I have to watch it 3 times to "get" all of it. Critically important plot points are sloughed over with unintelligible dialog. That, on top of non-linear timeline techniques with no SUPERs make things very hard to follow.

Having said that, I am still a big fan because the basic premise of the show is excellent. Too many TV dramas focus on carnage and action and good guys without explaining WHY the bad guys did what they did. This show makes the WHY the focal point and does it with good storytelling.

Recommended, but record it. If you watch it "live" you won't get all of it.
