Moonlight

This show had an odd premise, but was quite a bit of fun to watch. The plots were a little thin, but the love triangle running through the show made it interesting. The triangle is Mick, Beth and the problem of Mick's being a vampire.

I predict that you will see a lot more of Alex O'Louglin. This is the most interesting man to hit any screen in a long time. The camera loves him.

He has just the right amount of sex appeal and sympathetic demeanor.

I am really sorry to see the show go. I think it should be given another chance. It is more fun to watch than a lot of shows that are clones of each other namely the numerous Laws and Orders and CSIs.

I'm biased because I like toothy things, but I really do enjoy this and watch it quite frequently. I like the characters and story lines, it's not entirely original but is enjoyable and likable and it's "vampire" enough without any added extras (black magic/werewolves/fairies/sparkles etc) and the vampires are actually true to the genre (except the going out in broad daylight thing). The acting is sometimes a little cheesy but I overlook that because I like it so much and how do you act "Hey I just found out vampires are real?" It's not like anyone has a frame of reference is it? Alex O'Loughlin is excellent - I don't think I'd seen him before this - and I'm now a fan of him in Hawaii 5-0, and it's always nice to see Sophia Myles (Underworld), a Brit in an American Series. Good music, stunts and effects, this is an easy to watch show. Given the rubbish that IS given a second season, I have no clue why this didn't get one although where it ended was really nice and rounded it off well. Many familiar faces putting in an appearance, but the story arc with the beautiful Shannyn Sossamon was a favourite.

A guilty pleasure.

I just caught the new supernatural series premiere of CBS's new show, MOONLIGHT. To be honest, I liked the first episode, but after seeing countless shows of this natural, it seems to repetitive.

Now don't get me wrong, MOONLIGHT isn't a bad show. It's compelling, stylish and has characters that are very interesting. I have to say I have finally found a show to replace the void left by STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE and STARGATE: SG1 and a show that isn't another CSI copycat. Even though the show is somewhat cool, it seems way to familiar to some of it's predecessors--Remember a show called FOREVER KNIGHT, or a more recent one ANGEL? In fact the first episode is a blending of some of the previously mentioned series' episodes. And the vamp-does-good thing is a bit old.

Well, the show may some its flaws, but it is a welcome addition to a night that is getting more boring and repetitive by the hour.

I know Moonlight has not gotten rave reviews, has been likened to so many other vampire stories but, it truly is different.

Mick St. John is a new breed of vampire with new rules, new ways of meeting his needs and, a new outlook on being a vampire. He sometimes jokes about being a vamp, admits even tomato juice makes him think of blood.

He loves Beth very much but, he knows that relationships with humans are difficult at best and, is forever concerned that she may, someday, see him as a monster which he cannot bear the thought of.

Not your typical vampire do gooder, he does try to be the good guy but doesn't hesitate to be the predator and, kill if he feels it's warranted.

Classic film noir style with flashbacks to the past and voice-overs in a modern Los Angeles, Ca setting. Wonderfully portrayed, beautifully wardrobed and the ideal actors for each role. Moonlight has hot babes, seductive hunks, even if he doesn't try to be one, and great storytelling.

Love it, love it, love it.

Friday nights tend to be very boring. Moonlight while pure fantasy is well acted by up and coming Australian star Alex O'.I have seen him in a few movies and I believe that he will be with us for a long time. Sophia Miles is another one to look out for. As a big fan of Tristan and Isolde, her persona is one to have a future in whatever media form she chooses. As far as the show goes, it is one of my favorites. All the CSI's, NCIS.Without a Trace,Bones,and Criminal Minds have a great new neighbor. And it sure beats anything those silly game and so called "reality" shows give us CBS would be wise to keep Moonlight around for another season at least.
