It's on ABC, but I only came across it a few weeks ago on Hulu.
Yeah, it's a crime drama, where there's a murder and the police figure out whodunnit. But here's what makes this show cool:
We (the viewers) know who the victim and the killer are in the first three minutes of the show.
Then we follow the police from finding the body to finding the killer, learning important facts and events as they do, which end up connecting until everybody learns the why...in other words the motive.
It's an interesting twist, and reminds me of an episode from the first season of CSI...
...where we learned that the main difference between these two characters (in the above pic) is that while both are extremely good at what they do, he focuses on the how...while she cares about why. Which is a much bigger difference than you'd think.
And granted, this type of format has been done before,
...but it's been a while.
Anyways, Motive is a cool show to watch as I detox from the day, but only Season 2 (I guess airing now?) is on Hulu...not Season 1. WTF?
