Moonlight (the 2007 vampire PI series) is crazy because they were like "what if we just crammed like 4 seasons' worth of plot turns into 16 episodes?" and good thing, too, since that's all they got.
Honestly every disc could be its own season if they'd paced it a little slower.
Female lead (human reporter) meets the male lead - a vampire PI who has been stalking her since his ex kidnapped her as a child
They are immediately a will-they-won't-they situation
Female lead finds out about vampires almost immediately
Mostly the two leads work on cases and female lead learns about vampires
We find out the female lead has a boyfriend, actually
MALE LEAD FEEDS ON FEMALE LEAD so as not to die
(How does this happen only 4 episodes in?? This episode feels like a season finale, it is insane)
Female lead follows a story about a serial killer and oops, surprise, he's a vampire!
Clickbait sexy scene where female lead (on drugs) begs male lead to have his way with her
Lying to actual boyfriend in order to protect vampire bf PI
Female lead's new coworker looks exactly like male lead's vampire ex (who kidnapped female lead as a child) and male lead goes crazy trying to figure out if its her or not
The creepiest serial killer episode of TV I have ever seen, including actual serial killer/crime shows
Female lead finds out that male lead is actually the one who saved her when she was a kid (and that he has been stalking her)
Doppelganger coworker tries to steal male lead from female lead (who, remember, has a different, human boyfriend) - and this makes the female lead very jealous
We find out the doppelganger actually IS the ex, who is deranged
The female lead rightfully stakes her but oopsie she had actually cured her vampirism - something the male lead apparently wants for himself
We find out that the cynical bestie of the male lead (a rich dick vampire) actually has a secret girlfriend in a coma that he can't move on from [this has nothing to do with the overall plot really but this episode felt like a huge plot twist for the character!]
Male lead's evil ex is revealed to be a vampire again (!?)
Male lead has to work with female lead's boyfriend to protect her from a gang
Boyfriend ends up fatally wounded and female lead begs male lead to turn boyfriend into a vampire for her, but he doesn't, so boyfriend dies (this causes problems between them, and cements his place as a plot device to cause conflict between them and nothing more)
It is revealed that the deranged ex was a vampire of royal blood during the French Revolution (this is all very important) when her scary sibling comes to town
Deranged ex CURES MALE LEAD'S VAMPIRISM(!?)
Male lead enjoys being human again
Female lead's boss is murdered, female lead is kidnapped
New human male character is introduced to replace dead human boyfriend from previous episodes (importantly he is not dating the female lead, he's just.. there)
Male lead gets turned back into a vampire to save female lead [in a surprisingly sweet moment between him and his bff]
Female lead gets new boss (because her boss died)
Female lead goes to male lead's vampire bff to help cover up a leak re: vampires being real (he kills the person who found out)
Female lead quits her job
The leads start dating, like, actually
A plot involving male lead trying to find out if a missing boy is his grandson -- leading to conversations about how the leads wouldn't be able to have kids and isn't that sad
The audience is explicitly reminded that the leads have not had sex with each other (remember, they only just started dating. Trust us bro.)
Female lead breaks up with male lead because she's not sure she can date a vampire without becoming one and she isn't sure if she wants to become one
They get back together immediately. The end.
Also the series finale includes a plot hook for later plots that didn't happen that is literally a printed list of vampires, stapled together, which just has the same text repeated, including Vlad the Impaler as one of the named vampires (as well as the male lead)
Anyway I loved it, highly recommend.
