After watching the first episode of "Moonlight" I have to say that I am definitely disappointed.

I was not too happy with a lot of the acting performances. Alex O'Loughlin was great. A complete newbie to the American audience, he piqued my interest and I was impressed and engaged by his performance. Sophia Myles on the other hand just fell flat. Maybe she was just focusing too hard on getting her accent correct that she just forgot to actually work at other things. For someone with credits like hers, I expected a lot more. Other casting choices that I completely disagreed with were Brian J. White as "Lt. Carl Davis" and also Tami Roman as "Maureen 'Mo' Williams" (Beth's boss).

However all in all, the major downfall of the show was the writing. The pace was completely off. The dialogue could have been majorly improved as well. The overall story just left me thinking that it was just too generic and could possibly do well with more originality.

I give the first episode 6/10, which is completely way too generous. Hopefully the show either gets canceled or gets a lot better. At this point I may or may not watch any upcoming episodes... with my leaning towards not even bothering with this drivel any further.

With it's 7.2 rating here on IMDB, I decided to watch this movie. However, I would give it 4/10. The script is pretty cheesy and at some moments I kept on thinking to myself, nobody in real life would actually do something like that. A lot of the time, I found the acting to reflect the script. I definitely won't recommend for anyone to put themselves through this movie unless they are just looking for a cute movie. This isn't a high quality movie in the least, it's just cute.
