    Every week I watch this show and think to myself, "I really hope they don't cancel this." The chemistry Beth and Mick have is terrific, much better than most shows, and I watch a lot of freaking television! Don't cancel...and more info on the music please!

    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!!! 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! She is beautiful and they BURN UP THE 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.

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

    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!

Moonlight is thoroughly entertaining and great television, a welcome relief from the usual vast wasteland of network programming. Rather than being a brooding and dark gothic tale, this is an action-filled detective story about believable people. The fangs and blood are secondary elements. The cast are all fine actors with an extraordinary chemistry between them. Alex O'Loughlin, while heart-stoppingly good looking, is a gifted actor able to connect with the viewers and breathe life into his character. If eyes are the windows to the soul, then Alex brings his soul to his performance for the audience to experience. His acting is completely genuine and without contrivance; compelling, yet understated. His charming wit, humor, and depth make this vampire-hero more human than most mortals. Sophia Myles can be compared to an English rose...softly delicate and profoundly beautiful in appearance, but with undeniable strength and resiliency of character. Her brilliant portrayal of Beth Turner holds up splendidly to the powerful characters around her. Jason Dohring, as Mick… Expand

    This show is lots of fun and Alex O'Loughlin is a very charismatic lead. The writing gets better with each episode and I enjoy watching and re-watching it. There are so many subtle line readings and facial expressions, that you pretty much HAVE to watch the show over and over again.

    I simply love this show. I love the characters, and the actors that play the parts, and I love the music. Every time I fine out what music is played I go to Itunes to buy it. Need more information on the music. That is my only complaint.

    I've been watching Vamp shows for over two decades...this one won't make it. It's already given away most of it's secrets, and those that remain are pretty guessable. They should have made him older, and given a REAL reason for him to be trying to be 'good'...then they should have kept his 'secret' at least to the end of the first season!

    Finally, CBS. A great Friday night lineup so I no longer have to surf. Moonlight has enough sexy undertones to make me anticipate watching next week. It also isn't all dark....the lightness to it that makes me laugh helps me forget that vamps drinking blood is rather disgusting.

    I have no idea what show these critics are watching, because it certainly isn't "Moonlight." I can't wait for Friday to come. This show is so full of sensuality and playfulness, I just love it. Mick St. John is my kind of vampire and I would willingly give up my blood to him and every friday for the rest of my life. BITE ME CRITICS>>>>>

    Don't know why so many have such a dim view - my family LOVES it!!!!! A great reason to stay home after a long week. This is my favorite show. The 11/02 episode was pretty steamy, but I loved that Mick was acting as protector and not taking advantage of the situation. Keep it up and keep it on!

    I think it is a great show. Since it follows Ghost Whisper, it should really do well with the ratings.

    [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.
