A show for everyone: drama, romance,humor, suspence5
Once I saw Moonlight I was imediately hooked. The cast and story line are both quite impressive, and it is just getting better and better as the series goes on. Enjoying the chemistry with Sophia Miles and the history plus unfinished buissness of Alex Olaughlen's character Mick with shannon sossmon. It is interesting the new twist that they have given the modern vampire. He sleeps in an glass ice box, can be in the sun for a given amount of time, and a stake in the heart only renders him unable to move. I am not imbarassed to say I was a fan of Buffy and Angel, but this is not at all the same type of show due to the writting or feel the writters have been going for. More realistic with a scifi twist. I would also complament the set department: ya gotta love the vampire's quarters. Conteporary and colorfull inside, and historic and a bit dark outside with the balcony.

LOVE IT!!5
I love love this show!! It is one of the most interesting show I have seen in quite a while. The chemistry between Beth and Mick is WONDERFUL!! The plot is also amazing. The acting is believeable unlike Angels (another vampire show).

Will Moonlight survive the writers' strike?5
Everyone has a fascination for vampires, especially sexy ones like Interview with the Vampire. I'm not saying if the writing hadn't gotten better that it would have survived, but the writing did get better and we got hooked on the chemistry of the characters. Then when the D.A. died, it only caused more sexual tension and possibilities. I only hope this does not die because of the writers strike. It is one of the best new series and to follow Ghost Whisperer definitely makes a great night of supernatural television viewing.



A very nice new anime themed on the opening of the new commercial space frontier. By the time the story starts, the various national space programs are well underway and lunar energy commercialization has started. The national programs are to be merged into an international one. We follow the story of our two protagonists, one American, one Japanese as they inexorably find their way to becoming astronauts.

The plot isn't new, with many elements recognizable from SF. The animation is generally very good, wand some of it excellent. The dialog is quite adult for the most part. The music is very reminiscent of that of the HBO series "To the Moon", for which this anime pays some hommage I think.

I gave this 4 stars rather than five which I would give to the best anime has to offer, e.g. "Ghost in the Shell", "Wings of Honneamise".

5.0 out of 5 stars Moonlight lover

I had recorded all the shows on my TV and then the DVR messed up and I lost the first 3 episodes. The quality of the unboxed are great and on the small screen you see some things that you miss on the big screen. Not a waste of your money and I will be buying the boxed ones if and when they come out after this season. Hopefully there will be another season. Go Moonlight and all the fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vampire detective with new twists and amazing cast

While I'm a fan of the vampire genre in general I am the first to admit that just because a story has a vampire in it does not mean it's going to be worthwhile, but thankfully with Moonlight every episode is filled with humor, new and interesting twists on the vampire lore, drama, talented and dedicated cast performances and enough edge of your seat mysteries to keep you sharp. If you think you've seen it all when it comes to Vampire detectives ... then you have not seen Moonlight. Fast paced drama with just the right amount of laughs thrown in to offset the intensity. Check it out today!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wait, Wait, It's... it's awesome
Ok so it started off well and then about the time of the writers strike it had a bad episode that could have killed this for me and then bam, I don't know what happened but suddenly the story is flying the action is interesting and the forever knight remake is reborn with new power and vigor not seen since, well forever knight. The episodes are great except for one and even though they are good they keep getting better and better. This has that real touch that goes so well with honest in your face fantasy, like dead like me? the dead zone? you'll like this. it's a keeper.
