    I just recently caught up with this series and I find it very entertaining. The acting could be better and some of the plot lines could use some polishing, but overall, it's the entertainment value that keeps people coming back. Cool show.

    That vampire can bite me anytime. I want this show back. It made my night. I liked it enough to plan around it. The chemistry between the characters filled a void between the reality and the daydream love affair we all wish could happen. The story kept us mesmerized and hanging on the edge of our seats to know what's happening next. Please bring it back. Remember there was a vile of That vampire can bite me anytime.

    Congratulations on Moonlight winning the Peoples Choice Award for Best Drama. It is absolutely the best in this new season. It is campy, fun, clever and introspective not to mention the 3 great looking leads. A very enjoyable way to spend Friday nights (and watching a second time isn't hard on the eyes!)

    This is one of the best shows this season, but it wouldn't surprise me if they canceled it as they do all the really go shows. I think they poll the wealthy people who don't actually watch tv. Leave it to all of us redneck home bodies who actually watch good no great programming. If I had millions I would pay to have the series on my television!!

    Why do you want to get rid of all the better shows? I am so sick of realty shows, and shows full of violence. (They are the same shows over and over, with just different characters.) Ghost Whisperer and Moonlight are the perfect Friday night line-up. After a busy week at work, I so much look forward to coming home Friday and watching my shows in the evening.

After a busy week at work, I so much look forward to coming home Friday and watching my shows in the evening. The both have a great cast and they are two of the better shows on T.V. I don't think the critic's reviews are the ones that matter, it's the viewers choice, which is presently far better than the critics. If these shows get canceled, I will literally be done with television. It's bad enough that Gilmore Girls and Charmed is gone. There is nothing else to watch, except maybe History or Discovery channels, and there is always the Weather Channel. We wonder why the world is like it is today. The sexual content, violence and horrible language on television is right in front of not only our faces, but our children's. Way too much negativity!!!!! I grew up with Little House on the Prairie and the Waltons, shows that teach good values and the sense of what is right and wrong. These are the types of shows that need to be available for the younger generation. But back to the show in question, please keep Moonlight on. Not only for your viewers, but for the cast that make it what it is. Thank you!!… Expand

    Strong lead and progressively more well-developed characters. Has lots of potential if the writers don't lose their way.........

    Ok, heres what it is. It doesn't try hard enough, like its written by a fresh-on-the-dock creator/director/whatever. But its fun to watch , so give it a try.

    This is a great show with wonderful characters. Moonlight was a little slow in the plot and character development, but evolved nicely. This is a show with a lot of potential-if the networks will give it a chance!

    Definitely better than angel or buffy, boths those shows were jokes in my opinion. the actors do good, the lines arent cheesy, and theres no hilarious vampire face morph.

    You have to be kidding that you are not putting this show back on the air. I watched True Blood and it was nothing like Moonlight, It might be fantasy but we need to be entertained. I am not the only one missing it please put it back on.

    What do critics know anyway...they only watch shows so that they can criticize them...Viewers, on the other hand, watch shows to form real opinions and choose favorites. Regarding Moonlight...the critics are wrong.

    Canceled right as it was getting good. The vampire "watchdog" group subplot was just firing up towards the end, especially with that list that appeared right as the show signed off.

"Moonlight" was a welcome distraction--a new take on the vampire detective show where sunlight was okay, but still not too good (with no stupid sparkles!). Only it was never given enough time to really get going. Sure, it had plenty of flashbacks to "Angel," the worst of which being that they were both cancelled too soon. The acting fell flat sometimes in the start, but it was really hitting its mark as the show got going. And then--no more. Sad times.… Expand

    [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.
