    Love this show. I love the interaction and star crossed romance between "Mick" & "Beth". These actors have really made me feel it. I love that Mick is quietly beautiful, has integrity and sensitivity while Beth has ambition, assertiveness as well as being totally feminine. I miss the show when it's not on. Can't wait until December 14th. CBS...your viewers love it....pay no Love this show. I love the interaction and star crossed romance between "Mick" & "Beth". These actors have really made me feel it.

    Gorgeous, sexy lead man who sleep in the nude...tons of sexual tension between him and his leading lady (ladies?)...plenty of chemistry, wicked ex-wife (or are they still married if she's still alive?). Great side-kick (Joseph) and a perfect follow up to Ghost Whisperer? Is there a downside anywhere? It's worth staying home Friday night and watching CBS just for this.

    I watched Angel for 5 years - how refreshing not to have curses, demons & other dimensions, just gorgeous Mick who has nice chemistry with Beth, great eyelashes and fangs. I'm a definite fan and hope CBS sticks with it. Just heard they ordered 4 more scripts! Too much complex depth isn't always good --look at LOST!

    Although it is cliched at times - the characters are so intriguing that it keeps me hooked. At the beginning the plot line was a little weak, however it has showed continued growth and I enjoy all the characters. Josef is my favorite, I like how they incorporate him. CBS was correct in keeping this show!!!

    Interesting how critics can 'write-off'' a show so quickly. From the beginning, "Moonlight" has picked up steam and developed into one of the better ones in the line-up. Hope CBS continues the show after the writer's strike is resolved.

    Great characters, sizzling chemistry, witty dialogue, exciting action stunts, and amazing acting by some of the hottest actors ever...what more could you ask for in a show? Moonlight is the best show of the season! Actually, it's the best show in many seasons. I was hooked for life after only 10 minutes. Why can't every day be Friday?

    I freaking love this show. It is a great twist on the usually creepy and overdone supernatural shows. The actors and the story are all really captivating.

    This show is amazing!!! I am a huge fan of Lifetime's vampire series Blood Ties, and I think this show is just as awesome. I really really really hope they keep it going!!!

    Engaging cast, witty dialogue, beautiful set design, and the intrigue of the idea that vampires could be among us... What's not to like?

    The show is about a vampire who wants to correct his faults, now you tell me is that a bad show? You have a guy who hates his past, but cares deeply about helping the future of others. Mick you can do it, you may not be Angel, but like Angel you have a kind heart.

    Friday nights needed something a more intriguing than the garbage that's on now. None of the shows on television have much of a continuing storyline. Moonlight has a continuing theme that keeps me waiting for Friday night. The show has action, romance, an undertone of darkness, and great actors who literally feed off one another. Whoever said there is no chemistry between Friday nights needed something a more intriguing than the garbage that's on now. None of the shows on television have much of a continuing storyline. Moonlight has a continuing theme that keeps me waiting for Friday night. The show has action, romance, an undertone of darkness, and great actors who literally feed off one another. Whoever said there is no chemistry between O'Loughlin and Myles must be ninety years old, shriveled up, and braindead. This is one of the best shows on television. Expand

    This show gets better each week. The chemistry between Mick and Beth is intoxicating. It's what keeps me tuned in. The stories are fascinating and the well told. I love how the moodiness and madness of the characters unfold with each episode. The tortured souls of Mick and Beth are convincingly played out by the actors. I'm actually surprised at how much I enjoy this show.

    The chemistry is unbelievable between Mick and Sophia!!!!!!!! I have never liked any previous "vampire" shows, such as, Angel, Buffy, etc...This show is very, very different, and can't miss an episode!!!

    [Mick and Beth's] across-the-decades bond, however, doesn't compensate for how pedestrian the initial story is -- playing like a conventional detective show, with Mick showcasing his otherworldly powers (strong, and very, very fast) only during a passable action sequence in the final act.
  2. The focus is on the dangerous and forbidden relationship between Mick and Beth and his efforts to keep his past a secret. Whether there's enough material there to knit together a series remains to be seen.
  3. Moonlight is just a weak, generic private-eye drama with a vampire story overlay.
