Sophisticated, smart, sexy...and drop dead romantic

"Moonlight is one of the best--if not the best--shows to come down the pike in a long while. The slow development of the relationship between Mick and Beth is heartbreakingly realistic. The show is perfectly cast, well-written, and every episode is worth multiple rewatchings; ideal for DVD. Especially notable in the supporting cast is Jason Dohring as Mick's friend Josef, whose boyish good looks conceal the wisdom of centuries. If you love vampires, you will love Moonlight."
I LOVE this show!!!

"I am soooo excited that Moonlight will be coming out on DVD!!! I would watch Ghostwhisperer then this would come on after and Boy let me tell you , I'm loving this show more then Ghostwhisperer!!! I Love Mick and Beth! I Loved Sophia Miles(Beth) when she played a Vampire on Underworld so this was wonderful to see her in another Vampire like setting! This show is intoxicating. The Acting is great, the story lines great. I hope that this show continues on getting more fans and ratings!!! Love it!"

"I am absolutely addicted to this show, which recently won the People's Choice Award for Best New Drama, and deservedly so. This has got to be the sexiest and most original vampire story to come out in a long time, and I can tell you that I am a vampire lover from WAY back! Alex O'Loughlin is THE breakout star of the year, and he is perfectly cast as vampire detective Mick St. John, who struggles with accepting his fate as a self-proclaimed "monster" while acknowledging his very real, very human feelings for reporter Beth Turner.
If you love vampires and wonder what it would be like if vampires walked among us, undetected, in modern-day L.A., you should give Moonlight a try. This show has it all~ action/suspense, drama, romance and plenty of humor. The writing is impressive, and the cast is superb, from O'Loughlin in the lead role to Sophia Myles, Jason Dohring and Shannyn Sossamon. Moonlight is a classic in the making....don't miss it!"
The Best New Show of 2007!

"Now that Moonlight has officially been voted the People's Choice Winner for Best New Drama of 2007, it looks like this tremendous new show has proven that it has real staying-power. Moonlight has got it all... High-powered action, exciting storylines, a fabulous casting ensemble, a richly woven romance, sizzling chemistry, and a seriously appealing male lead. Moonlight breathes real life back into the genre; and it's the best show on television you're not watching!"
BUYERS BEWARE - THIS SHOW IS ADDICTIVE!

"The tv series "Moonlight" is, without a doubt, the most addictive show I've ever seen. I am not one given to expounding the virtues of ANY show but, as soon as I got episode one under my belt, I was hooked. "Moonlight" has something for just about everyone; drama abounds, forbidden love hovers just out of reach, morphing from human to vamp lurks - just waiting to be unleashed, and the action is meted out in just the right doses.
While the 'vampire detective' theme, along with many other vampire concepts, has been done before, none have been done with such a twist as this. "Moonlight" has taken the vampire theme to another level in its story line by resetting the vamp rules .. stake in the heart only paralyzes them, they can tolerate sunlight for a short time, they don't sleep in coffins - they sleep in freezers, holy water doesn't turn them into a sputtering heap of ash. At the beginning of episode one, our hero Mick StJohn does a similated 'interview with a vampire' that gives a basic explanation of the premise of this show's basic vamp do's and don't's which 'sets the stage' quite nicely.
Beyond that, the charisma of the main characters, Alex O'Loughlin, Sophia Myles and Jason Dohring, gives the show an appeal that is unmatched anywhwere. The chemestry between Alex and Sophia on screen is beautiful to watch and keeps one wanting more and more. The lighting, sets, special effects and music are exceptional. All of these elements bring together a mesmerizing saga that keeps one glued to the television for every minute of each episode and leaves one wanting the next episode NOW!
Many have tried to compare "Moonlight" to other vamp shows, but there IS no comparison. This one is unique in its concept and delivery, and should be viewed with an open mind, leaving behind the old concepts to embrace this new and exciting way of seeing, hearing and feeling the New Vamp In Town."
