EPISODE
Moonlight - Season 1
In a season that begins with enthusiasm and strength around that most exciting series in Los Angeles. Someone called Mick St. was once a supernatural vampire with supernatural abilities. Now, fifty years later, Mick is using his own abilities to protect the needy people, a very difficult task if he wants to have a hidden identity. One of the girls, Beth Turner, is automatically attracted to Mick, and Mick feels obliged to protect her for no reason.

[A] generic mashing of noir and horror.

Woeful acting? Check. Cheap effects? Check. Worst writing of the new season? Check. Predictability? Pretensions? Faint imitations of superior shows? Someone at CBS shouldn't just have their neck bitten, but sliced through, for this one.

So the rest of the show remains a mess, no matter how much has been changed. That leaves O'Loughlin, and he's... okay.

This vampire detective show (sorry, can't resist this) is one that first bites, then sucks. Hard.

Moonlight doesn't deserve an engaging lead, since it's dead -- not dead and then undead, just plain dead -- on arrival.

O'Loughlin has the shaggy mane and acting chops... but he's not well served by the show's unimaginative stories and relationships, retreads from better series of the past.
January 04, 2019
Moonlight tries to be a cross between Angel and the world of Raymond Chandler, but at least in the first couple of episodes, it's just sort of an underwritten mess.

Sleek, sexy, stylish and very modern.

Moonlight doesn't get any points for originality, but it sure gets some for brazenness. Its elements are so shamelessly copied, the whole show should be sponsored by Xerox.
January 04, 2019
The producers are onto a conceit that seems purely accidental. Vampires with a conscience are like cheerleaders in habits: what precisely is the point?
