Playing the TV critic
May. 21st, 2008 10:59 pmI finally managed to allocate some time to watch the much talked about TV show, Moonlight.
Well, the overall impression is the following: The stories are ripped off from some badly written crime drama by those, who had not touched a criminal procedure textbook; the extremely bad acting from almost everyone in the show; the cliched lines and characters. The inexplicable need to insert some very bad special effects that make "Star Trek: The Original Series" look like the "Matrix" in comparison.
On the up-side, the lead actor is good-looking enough to forgive a great deal in the series, although I would imagine that the devotees of the vampire genre would not be impresses with the 'super powers' of these vampires. Seriously, a vampire not needing an invitation or being able to stay in daylight? Bram Stoker would be turning in his grave!
Just had a bizarre thought, if this TV series was made in the 80's, it would have gotten a cult status quicker then one can remember that Johnny Depp started off in "21 Jump Street".
In conclusion, I can see why this show was cancelled.
P.S. If it was made in the 80's, maybe they could have replaced the lead actress with someone who could actually act.
