A thoroughly entertaining series that lasted just one season, Moonlight tells the story of a sexy vampire who wants to do good. (Think along the lines of Angel from the Joss Whedon series of the same name.) Mick (Alex O'Loughlin, August Rush) became a vampire in the 1950s when his beautiful vamp bride Coraline (Shannyn Sossamon, A Knight's Tale) created his new incarnation. Shunning that lifestyle and turning against his wife when she attempts to add a little girl to their family, Mick creates a new identity for himself as a private detective. The job has its perks. Mick, who normally shuns fresh human blood, doesn't feel as badly partaking from the fluids of a criminal. Though Coraline would actually make a more intriguing ongoing love interest for Mick, he falls in love with Beth (Sophia Myles, Underworld). The two have a history together, too, though Beth doesn't remember it right away (Mick saved her from Coraline some 20 years ago); now, they're working together. O'Loughin and Myles make a handsome couple, but they don't share the type of chemistry that makes his scenes with Sossamon so intoxicating. Moonlight originally aired on CBS during the 2007-2008 television season. The season was truncated to just 16 episodes due to the Writers Guild Strike. Because of that, the series at times feels unresolved--especially in the finale. But Moonlight is well-crafted and has beautiful production value. Mick at times utters groaners like, “Being a vampire sucks,” but the Aussie actor makes it work. The series in some ways is debating the age-old question of whether eternal life is a blessing or a curse. The answer depends on who--or what--you are. --Jae-Ha Kim

Product Description

Any private eye knows a lot about other people's secrets. L.A. private eye Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin) has a secret of his own. He’s a vampire, dwelling in a covert netherworld complicated by friendship with an undead finance honcho (Jason Dohring), memories of the alluring ex- wife (Shannyn Sossamon) who turned him into a vampire, and a relationship with a human (Sophia Myles) he feels drawn to protect – and maybe to love. But no matter how tempting, Mick knows a vampire-human romance is eternally dangerous. This 16-episode, 4-disc set of the series voted the 2008 People's Choice Award for Favorite New TV Drama is a sure entertainment bet for all who like their vampire stories sleek, intense and passionate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sophisticated, smart, sexy...and drop dead romantic, January 17, 2008

By	Candace Benefiel "Aggie Librarian" (College Station, TX USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moonlight is the best new show of the season!, January 13, 2008

By	Karen Ladd "lunakasha" (Maine, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!

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!
