Lafluffy's Imdb Review

There is a vampire capable of true love.

Meanwhile, how novel! A vampire who walks among us in the daylight (but barely). A vampire who can take a stake in the heart which only paralyses them, and lives. A vampire unconcerned with crosses and garlic, who can eat but not taste, who can decay over time so sleeps in a fridge, who can mainline blood or steal from the blood bank without ever touching a live, breathing. living, alive human being.

And we have a vampire capable of conscience and mature love. When, in the annals of movies and novels has there ever been a vampire who not only wanted to be human, but kept his human and humanly transcendent traits (including humour) while struggling with his vampiric destiny?

This guy, Mick St. John, is betwixt and between. And what adds to the attraction- he is HOT.

I am drawn in by the light-heartedness in the face of daunting odds, the cameraderie, the struggle and confusion in attachment, and the majorly manly love of a guy who who hates being a vampire yet remains pure as a human, and not only pure, but mature. I have never seen a vampire who actually cares about others in a mature way- who takes care of others without angst. Who just does it.

This is what separates this show from others: a hot, cool guy who has a big heart and who time and again exhibits traits of the one whom you want to go home with- loving and true, protective above all, street smart, free-thinking and decisive, and growing and wise. A new, meaningful version of vampire.

Moonlight is a nuanced character study for those who pay attention. Long live the undead!!
