From a
TV Guide Interview with Alex O'Loughlin re: the “new” vampire show Moonlighting.
TVGuide.com: On paper, the critics have noted that the vampire PI TV show is a road well traveled. What will set your show apart?
Alex O'Loughlin: First of all, our show is only vampires. We don't deal with other monsters like trolls and goblins and stuff. We're not based in some medieval book of curses; we're set in contemporary times. And our vampires, they walk among us, live among us, work among us. They're lawyers and doctors.... We're trying to bring it into the here and now. The other thing is, I don't think I've seen a vampire series done in a film-noir style, not just in the way it's shot but in the use of devices we have, like flashbacks and voiceovers.
Um, dude! Where have you been? How could you not have seen the best vampire series set in contemporary times, with vampires walking among us, done in film-noir style with the use of flashbacks, especially since you signed on to play a vampire detective! Has anyone seen this new show? Is it worth my while to try and track down the ep online or does it suck persimmons?
