    Thank goodness we don't take much note of critics as Titanic was given thumbs down and now is a classic. I am just a regular person who really enjoys Moonlight. I don't know all the intricate details that you are all fussed on... it just grabs me at my core and I am off for a fun ride every friday night at 9pm on CBS!

    I love this show! I think the non-dragging out of the whole 'revealing' helped, sometimes when shows like this drag it out forever and ever you just end up screaming, bloody mad at your television for the characters to figure it out already. I think there is plenty of potential for this show to grow if people will just stop throwing it down. The writing is getting better, I I love this show!

    I love this show!!! Obviously some of the critcs have no clue what people want to watch. These are the same freaks who ooooh and ahhh over shit reality shows. Some of the male "critcs" who say the leads have no chemistry or don't like Alex O'Loughlin's looks are totally jealous. They only WISH they were as hot as him!! Same with Sophia!

It is so refreshing to see a show that gets better every week with such a great cast! Thank you for a great show CBS!!… Expand

    I can't belive the bad reviews it's getting! I LOVE the show. Alex is a superb actor and delivers his lines(both sarcastic and serious) wonderfully. Sophia...brilliant. I'm incredibly intrigued by thier chemistry every week and pray the show makes it to a full season. ROCK ON MOONLIGHT!!

    The show revolves around one actor, Alex O'Loughlin. He alone makes this show worth watching. He's a fresh new face and he's fascinating to watch.

    One of the best new shows of the season. Dark, thrilling, sexy, and refreshing. Something all fans of the genre can watch and enjoy. Please give it a chance before you you listen to all the malicious reveiws out there. Not all critics know best.

    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 lik this show. I think Alex O. brings humanity and soulfulness to the character. I think the chemistry between his character and Beth is fantastic. If you want reality...there is plenty of scripted "reality" for you and you don't even have to worry about the writer's strike.

    i am a big fan of angel and buffy and even blood ties. But Moonlight is a different approach, it kind of makes it seem possible for vampires to be among us. The acting is great, mich and beth have GREAT chemistry. The writing is GREAT, it keeps you interested and yet as time goes on it does answer alot of questions. I was hooked from the first minute.

    I love this show. I think the acting is great and the story keeps me longing for Friday every week. I was a fan of angel and forever knight but this show is way better than either of them. And Alex O'Louglin is hot. Why is it they can make 15 different CSI and Law & Orders and no one says anything but every vampire show gets compared to Angel. I hope they don't cancel this show I love this show. I think the acting is great and the story keeps me longing for Friday every week.

    I don't even want to know what the "Critics" have to say about this incredibly put together show. I love the acting, I love the vamps (right down to sleeping in a freezer, that's original,) and I love the story. I have to wait until I get home around Midnight to watch it via the web but I watch it every week (this is one of only a very small handful of shows I can say that I don't even want to know what the "Critics" have to say about this incredibly put together show.

I'll be more disappointed in CBS if they let this go then I was back in the `90's when they let Street Justice and Forever Knight be canceled. Let's do our best while Moonlight is still on to let TPTB (The Powers That Be) know that we want this to stay and we won't stand for yet another "Reality" show.… Expand

    Well, we have to respect the opinionated and experienced "critics", most of them had a -not-so-good- reviews on the gorgeous casts of the tvshow Moonlight, I'm just an ordinary viewer, but Friday nights will never be the same again, I tell you. I love this MICK and BETH theme up.

    Love this show!! A Friday night guilty pleasure! Great cast. Great premise. Not disappointed in the early reveal. The CSI genre is worn out - over done. Took a look at its much ballyhooed competitor and was very disappointed. To each his own. Thank goodness I taped Moonlight which has yet to disappoint me. CBS, give it a chance!

    I am already so obsessed with this show Moonlight I can't stand it. I live now waiting from an episode to an episode. The best freaking show ever. I go through at least 7 different emotions when I am watching. I am just crazy about this show. and I personally don't care about what the critics say. the general public has spoken. LONG LIVE MOONLIGHT.

    The critics are idiots - they just don't get it. This show has it all: engaging stories, hot actors (of both sexes), humor, sex appeal, cool sets, mood music. It's perfect.

    [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.

    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.

    Moonlight is just a weak, generic private-eye drama with a vampire story overlay.
