From our friends at TV.com.
Moonlight follows Mick St. John (Alex O'Loughlin), an immortal vampire and private investigator and his struggle to exist after he was bitten 60 years ago by his vampire bride on their wedding night. It also follows his internal torment as he falls in love with one he should not, one who is mortal named Beth (Sophia Myles), a news reporter, as well as his dealings with the woman who made him a vampire, his sire Coraline (Shannyn Sossamon).
WOW!!! is this bad. I'm mean it's Alias season 3 bad. It's like a 4th grader wrote this crap. It opens with a voice-over exposition of the lead character Private Eye Mick St. John talking about being a 60 year old vampire and how cool it is. I mean really, is this necessary? Really, come on. This whole show is so cliché, it's like a joke but no one is laughing. The story meanders on as Mick St. John (god, I love that name) solves this episodes big "who done it". Along the way we discover some of Mick's back story and it revolves around a little girl he saved back in the 80's. We'll it turns out it's twenty years later and she grew up to be a internet news reporter named Beth and is smoking hot. ( go figure) Mick is of course falling in love with her, but alas she is the forbidden fruit as he saved her as a child and it would be creepy if they "did it"...Or would it?
The show is made for fans of the "Gilmore Girls" and the "Princess Diaries", who as you can imagine are mostly women. The only saving grace is a few of the minor background characters. They have Jason Dohring (Logan Echolls from Veronica Mars) as Josef Konstantin, a centuries old vampire, and St. John's mentor. He is horribly miss-cast, but fun to see on the screen again. Also Kevin Weisman (Marshall Flinkman from Alias) plays a super small role as Beth's cameraman, although he is not on the cast list for future episodes I hope he shows up again.I might turn in for episode 02 as I like to give even bad tv a few episodes. Heck as most of you know I stuck with Alias till the bitter end. But for now I give this show

I would just like to point out that leading lady, Sophia Myles, was one of the Vampires (Erika,) in "Underworld."
Also, the first episode's villain, an Anthropology professor who claims to be a Vampire (but isn't,) is played by Rudolph Martin. He also played the part of Dracula TWICE. Not only in the movie "Dark Prince: The True Story of Dracula," but also in the legendary Dracula episode of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
Ya know...just to throw the Vampire Trivia out there.
