I have watched many vampire series and movies, and I mean MANY.And the first episode I watched in my opinion was very attractive, it got me interested, but it didn't stopped there. Every single episode that continued got me more and more hooked to it. I honestly don't understand what was wrong with this series that people criticized it so much that they canceled it, it's alluring, sexy, adventurous, sad and sweet in some ways. It honestly broke me to find out there weren't going to be any more episodes. There are many and I mean MANY horrible series out there that aren't good, and this one that isn't bad at all got canceled? really? I loved this series, I honestly did, and if I could make a wish, my wish would be for this series to come back. I know it's late but...well, it can't hurt to try. GO Moonlight!

As incredibly cheesy as this show is...I love it. I am absolutely in love with this show. The effects are pretty awful and vampires have been done a thousand times over but this show is fantastic. Alex O'Loughlin excels at everything he does. He plays the part perfectly. This show really brings something new to the table. It's different from any other vampire show I've seen. It isn't all about the romance or the violence. It's about the struggle of the vampire himself. It's about him trying to live in a world that he is no longer really a part of. The detective work brings a whole new dimension to the show which in turn brings a whole new audience. Moonlight was definitely cut too soon.

I sat and watched all of this show. I had read some good reviews and decided to give it a chance. BAD decision. This is horrible! You forget this show was made in 2007. I hadn't seen when it was made and I thought it was made in 1985. You can clearly see the fake backgrounds, horrible, horrible acting, no chemistry between the main characters. The vampires are supposed to have superpowers but these particular vampires keep forgetting that! The story and the dialog are laughable. Sooooo many mistakes on the plot full of stupid characters. I tried to find one thing to like about this show but couldn't! Good choice to cancel this after just one year! It is probably the worst TV show I have ever seen!

I watched Moonlight after finding and enjoying both seasons of the similar, but different, Blood Ties, which also featured a Vampire man and a human woman in modern day North America, dealing with human issues while fighting the wicked. In Blood Ties it was the woman, played by the amazingly undervalued Christina Cox, who was the private investigator.Moonlight has its own appeal. It is emotionally full and exciting. Sophia Miles is lovely as the human Beth and the leading man, Alex O'Loughlin, does a cracking job of the whole "tortured soul but keeping it real" deal. I was drawn in by their relationship and I enjoyed the narration that punctuated the show, usually spoken by the Vampire's character; I am reminded of Ally McBeal, Grey's Anatomy and Defying Gravity in this regard.There seemed to be loads of potential for where this show could go. I am surprised that it was cancelled. It was slick and amusing, serious and fun, sophisticated and natural.In some shows you can tell that the writers have been told that the show will not be renewed and they do a hasty job of tying up loose ends that otherwise would have taken a few seasons to pan out and resolve, in an effort to give the fans some closure.However, Season 1 of Moonlight ended with new unanswered questions about the relationship between Mick and Beth and the fate of the Vampire community. It was a cliffhanger of sorts. I am guessing that the decision to stake the show came as a surprise. I should have thought Joel Silver's name in the credits would be good enough for two seasons, and I bet I was not the only one to think along those lines, in this case incorrectly.I have not read anywhere yet that the ratings for Moonlight were poor, but I guess that they must have been, otherwise, Why axe the show? It was hip and exciting and filled with good-looking actors. Meh! There is so much worthless junk on TV and yet it survives, year on year. Then there are the interesting and intelligent shows that make it through two seasons if they are lucky, and then get curtailed just as the story arc promises exciting pay-offs. Is the mainstream audience really that dumb or are the execs in charge just too pussy to stick it out for a long-term investment?I find that some shows grab my interest in a special way and Moonlight did this for me. There is a build-up in sympathy for the characters and interest in the storyline. The characters of Mick and Beth are both hurting individuals, seeking a better life.It must be a combination of the show's basic idea, the script and the heart the actors bring to the screen that makes this show so likable. I think Moonlight had real heart, and there is no pun intended!Whatever the reason for the show's early demise, I will now surely miss it, and I shall miss our protagonists Mick and Beth and finding out more about them and what happens to their relationship.
