Moonlight - TV Show Review Summary
Moonlight was a short-lived television series on CBS and a different kind of cop show. The lead character Mick St. John (Alex O'Laughlin), is not only a homicide detective, but a vampire, having been turned into one by the bite of his bride on their wedding night 55 years earlier. Of course no one knows about the vampire part, especially not journalist and new love interest Beth Turner (Sophia Miles). As he solves crimes, Mick also struggles to juggle his "private life" with his "love life", knowing a vampire-mortal relationship has more pitfalls than a mine cave-in. Entertaining, "It has plenty of action, suspense, and romance. It almost makes the supernatural seem believable.". Not everyone was enthralled, with one reviewer complaining "It was too dramatic and cheesy" Overall Moonlight moonlight struck the right, er, vein.

When I first saw the promos for this show, I thought with distaste, "Great, a vampire show." I am not into vampire, witch, scorcerer, etc. type things. I like the occasional sci-fi show (Star Trek, Stargate SG1, etc.), but vampires just don't appeal to me. Yes, Alex O'Laughlin will stop a few...

An imaginative new show that has a little something for everyone....great music, romance, excitement, humor...this may be the TV equivalent of a Chick-flic movie .
The show is well-cast and the actors seem to have a good chemistry. The writing shows imagination and a willingness to go beyond the usual stereotypes.
This show is my Friday night favorite!!
I just Knew this was going to be good when I saw it was premiering this fall I could not wait to see it and I'm so glad its available I was always a big fan of Buffy the Vampire slayer- Charmed and Angel . This show has enough action to keep the guys interested and enough romance to keep the girls watching .
I really Like Sophia Myles who plays Beth Turner , she was also in the movie Underworld .she is great and I am glad she is in moonlight .
I don't know to much about Alex O'Loughlin but he is way kool in this show and has great presence . so if you love the spooky as much as I do you need to...

I got hooked because of the writing. It is very good. This could be an absolutely awful show with pretty people, but the actors/characters really seem to like each other, the story line is fantastically displayed and the actors know how to act. I have noted... review »

If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel, I think you will like this show.
It's got parallels to Buffy the Vampire Slayer in that it has a vampire that wants to be with a mortal but knows he shouldn't and stays away from her.
The main reason I watch this show is that the Alex O'Loughlin, the lead charcter is very very good looking. I've stayed because the show isn't half bad. Alex and Sophia Myles, the lead female work very well together. You know they shouldn't be together but you really want them to be.
The one thing that's different from Buffy is that the vampires don't die from being...

Moonlight was a fine television show that should have been given at least a few more episodes to find its footing. It had an interesting mythology, one that I thought was fairly unique. But then again, I am not a huge fan of vampire shows (I have watched Buffy and Angel in the past). What I liked best about the show was the way it explored the vampire community. The romance angle was a bit cliche, to be honest, but then again I am a guy and rarely get invested in television romances.

Moonlight is a breath of fresh air with all the medical and detective shows!! Now I know that Mick solves crimes and mysteries, but he's a smokin' hot vampire!! What's not to love right?? The show is action packed, adventurous and funny with some romance on the side!! It's a good show for men and women. i absolutely love this show and can't wait for the next season!!!
