Third-episode verdict: Moonlight

Sophia Myles might not be coming home just yet. Despite an exceedingly poor first episode, Moonlight has been steadily improving over the last few episodes and its ratings have been holding up, too. There are a few touches of originality creeping in and the format is still undergoing plenty of mutations.

So The Carusometer and I are holding off until the fifth episode for now. We’ll let you know the final verdict in a fortnight.
