    Moonlight has terrific potential. The only problem episode so far has been #3 LAME... The first 2 were terrific!!!!! Alex, Sophia, Kevin,Brian and Jacob are great . They give solid performances. The others could be better particularly some of the guests.

    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

    Critics..ha! These are the same people that give bad reviews to great blockbuster movies! Moonlight is fresh and modern with none of the campy drama of prior vampire shows.

    I needed something to look forward to through the boring work week, and this show is it. I disagree with the critics who say it's riddled with cliches; this show's story is quite different from other "garlic/stake/crucifix/exploding demon" vampire fare. And I like the slightly obvious nod to "noir" and "gumshoe graphic novel" moments.

That's entertainment!… Expand

    Great show!!! Started off with a shaky pilot but after the shake-up, it cannot be faulted. And it had one of the best endings! This show gets better week after week and I cannot wait till Friday. I never watch tv and this is the only one I actually make sure I never miss. Give it a chance CBS!!!

    I think the show has great potential, and I agree with the plot to date. I do not agree with Mick's character though. He just seems so much of a pushover. He doesn't need to be superman with fangs, but it wouldn't hurt if he wasn't so aggressively passive.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    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.

    Sure.. the acting is a bit off at times, and sometimes you just gotta enjoy it for enjoyment's sake.. but this is a very enjoyable show that should be given a chance to continue. Please don't just give it a quick judgement and tell everyone it stinks. It has promise. :)

    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.

    Has the storyline been done before? Of course...it's Heathcliff and Kathy, Beauty and the Beast, Tristan and Isolde with a vampire twist... Let's face it, there's something about the inner struggle between good and bad and a tragic love story that makes one want to sigh. Tragic and tortured heroes are the recipe for success in television and in movies. The critics Has the storyline been done before?

    [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.
