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.

Sophisticated, smart, sexy...and drop dead romanticJan 17, 2008

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.

Moonlight is the best new show of the season!Jan 14, 2008
By lunakasha 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!

The Best New Show of 2007!Jan 12, 2008
By S. Vouis Now that Moonlight has officially been voted the People's Choice Winner for Best New Drama of 2007, it looks like this tremendous new show has proven that it has real staying-power. Moonlight has got it all... High-powered action, exciting storylines, a fabulous casting ensemble, a richly woven romance, sizzling chemistry, and a seriously appealing male lead. Moonlight breathes real life back into the genre; and it's the best show on television you're not watching!

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!

Extra! Extra! Wait... no extras? Whose bright idea was that??Jan 26, 2009

Moonlight was an awesome show and a great twist on the tried and true Vamp Detective genre. The lead, Alex O'loughlin, managed to pull off funny, tortured, sweet and sexy with an ease that was pure 40's style gumshoe suaveness and the rest of the cast was equally impressive.
Jason Dohring practically dripped irresistible bad boy arrogance but still managed to soften it with a reluctant vulnerability (Especially in the episode Sleeping Beauty.)that only hightened his appeal, and Sophia Myles had a great spunkiness that woked to keep Beth from becoming just another damsel in distress. (Not to mention that she's ridiculously beautiful.)
The storyline was exciting, romantic, and angst-ridden.. but with enough light moments to keep it from going too dark. Direction and lighting managed to pull of an old school noir vibe while still looking slick and modern. And the sets... gorgeous! Mick's apartment was awesome... and I still want to steal that massive built-in black bookcase and his crystal fireplace.
So I'm not giving this DVD set 3-stars due to any fault of the actual show. (I loved the show and am still stubbornly boycotting the network for canceling it just because I dig the whole passive-aggressive rebellion thing.) No, this is a review of the DVD set.. and the dvd set is a major letdown due to the criminal lack of anything beyond a scene selection option.
I mean come on! There must have been 20 internet quick spots released, music montages, a great "An Interview With The Vampire" extension of the introduction scene from episode one, lots of cast interviews... even a walkthrough of Mick's apartment with all sorts of neat facts on the set design.
I know they existed.. I watched them on the network's site, caught them as teasers on TV, and I can still pull them up on Youtube. Hours of neat little Moonlight behind-the-scenes fun that SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED ON THE DVD.
I can understand if they couldn't get the cast together for episode commentaries or whatnot... but this offering is just pathetic, and since there were already tons of extras floating around what would it really have cost to just stiick them on the end of disc 4 and give the fans a reason to feel like they didn't get shafted considering what they're paying for only 16 episodes?
The whole thing just feels lazy and rushed, and a show as great as this one deserved better. I have a pretty decent collection of DVD sets for different shows, 58 at last count, and all of them managed to offer some degree of highlights and bonus footage.
(And no, the fact that it was only one shortened season shouldn't matter. The Dresden Files only had 12 episodes and the DVD set managed to include behind the scenes interviews and making-of snippets.)
I love the show, and I'm going to enjoy watching and rewatching my favorite episodes... but I have to admit I feel pretty cheated after pre-ordering this in anxious anticipation and recieving the most vanilla set I've ever purchased.
