Unfortunately, this gimmicky premise quickly renders the show a "whocares?,"

It's fun to watch Lehman nail her lines; she just needs a different show in which to do it.

Motive's format isn't a completely original concept (the long-running TV mystery Columbo did for decades), but it definitely feels fresh among a crowded schedule of genre competitors.

You've heard of open-and-shut cases. Motive is more like open and yawn.

Lehman is good, most everything's OK, but nothing is especially fresh or compelling.

There was nothing within these episodes that made me desperate to see the next mystery, or which gave me a connection to these characters that I can see evolving considerably.

As a whodunit with the who already answered, Motive is more than passable and quite a bit better than two of this season's string-along ABC clunkers -- Zero Hour and Red Widow.

As viewers of Columbo will remember, detective stories have been giving away whodunit for at least 40 years.

Unfortunately, the missteps revealed on the show hardly demythologize the police.
