About
You’ll likely enjoy Moonlighting if you want fast, playful detective stories with nonstop lead banter and a light 80s vibe; Not for you if you prefer straightforward, less self-aware TV like 77 Sunset Strip or Signed, Sealed, Delivered.
Pros: witty banter; memorable cases; strong lead chemistry | Cons: uneven later seasons; some dull supporting episodes; divisive humor
