I, like so many Canadians, watched the Superbowl last night. It was amazing. But, like other Canadians, I am now going to be arrested because I am going to have to try and kill the lead actress from CTV's "Motive".
Normally the commercials are the best part of the Superbowl. This is only true in America. In Canada, every second commercial was for Motive which was (as we were informed) airing after the Superbowl.
It started off ok. There was an ad for Motive. I was mildly intrigued. Then the ad aired again. And again. And agian.
Then there was a power outage during the game and the ad aired approximately 1000 more times. It slowly drove me insane. I begged the TV to stop. But it just kept going. It kept taunting me. I slowly started to see that the show was secretly the work of the devil.
As far as I can tell while other shows ask who, what, where and when - Motive dares to ask the question why?
So I have a couple why questions for it:
Why would you think that exploring motive is a new idea when literally every crime show does this already? I mean the whole ending of every show is always the explanation of why something happened. Have you watched CSI? Law and Order?
Why would a cop not care about the who, what, where and how? I suspect that real cops don't give a shit why something happens as long as they find out who did what to who.
I purposefully left the channel on and waited for Motive to start and immediately turned it off the moment it came on so that whoever watches viewing habits would know that I disapprove.
I suspect no one noticed.
They were to busy learning from good commercials that only aired in America why God made farmers or learning about a goat who eats Doritos. I didn't learn about any of those things. I learned that Canadians make horrible shows and have horrible promos for them.
Why am not surprised?
