With its \u201cMaking a Murderer\u201d-themes, \u201cMotive\u201d is a cautionary tale about the system failing the innocent and what happens when redemption is squandered.\n\nOUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEW OF "MOTIVE" BEGINS IN THE 60th MINUTE.\xa0\n\nIn crime of the week: these dogs have flees.\n\nFor exclusive podcasts and more, sign up at patreon.com/partnersincrimemedia\n\n\xa0\n\nClick here to get the Crime Writers On After Show, plus more exclusive content, on Patreon.: https://patreon.com/partnersincrimemedia
