| I bought the first season on sale long ago, only cause it was a great price...I always like Cold Case, Without a Trace kind of shows, as well as comedy and a bit of drama...I regreted buying VERONICA MARS cause I thought it was just another teens boring drama...one day I play it cause I didnt have anything else to watch...OMG!!! I watched the whole first season at once, I couldnt stop, every episode is so good, and the end is so unexpected and thrilling...I couldnt wait get my second and third season on the mail, although, I thought the might not been able to match such a great first season...I WAS WRONG AGAIN!!! It just got better...I don't understand why they stopped after the third season, maybe because they gave it all on these 3 seasons...I have recomend Veronica Mars to everybody i know, from teens to grand parents, very enjoyable. |

| My 13 year old daughter and I have watched this season together. It has been entertaining and it has helped us discuss some difficult topics. I think that this is a a great series for parents and young teens to watch together. |

| What more is there to say? I'm sure others will review this and give the pertinent information. I'll just say that it's a lot of fun, but nothing can live up to the first season. |

Who would expect such a great series out of UPN? Great dialogue: "Annoy little blond one, annoy like the wind" still being my favorite. And though it's a little older in themes, Veronica Mars never forgets that, yes, this is a high school show.
I also have to admit, I never watched the show on TV, I didn't get it until well after it had aired and I had the Third Season on TV. And being, that I LOVED the Third Season, the First and Second far surpassed my expectations.
If you're looking for a good detective show, or an even better teen show, I strongly advise this whole series. |

Veronica Mars' sophomore effort (or, according to the series, her senior one) is excellent, if it doesn't quite achieve the heights of the first season.
It has a lot to live up to, after all, and the resolution of the bus accident just doesn't have the same punch as finding out who killed Lilly Kane. Also, we've moved past the unexplored romantic tensions between Veronica and Logan that provided so much kick to the mid-to-late parts of the first season, and are stuck instead in a bizarre love pentagon with Veronica, Logan, Meg, Duncan and Kendall.
Some characters, so central to the series initially, leave for a while and sometimes come back (and sometimes, not). While the final few episodes find a spark, again, and provide worthy thrills and chills, it isn't as fulfilling or meaningful as the season that came before it.
Not that this is a crime. The Second Season of Veronica Mars is still well-written, and beautifully acted by most of its regulars. The emergence of "Beaver" as a main character and his fledgling romance with always-endearing Mac is one of the highlights, as is the continued stunt-casting brilliance, finding roles (among others) for Kevin Smith and Joss Whedon.
On the whole, Veronica Mars is one of the recent bright spots in all of television, and these episodes are no exception to that. A four-and-a-half star season from a five star show: rounds up to five. |

| This show just gets better and better. The writing is amazing and the whole cast from top to bottom are really talented. This isn't just a typical teen show by any means. There is more going on in one episode of Veronica Mars than most shows have in five. The bus crash mystery unravels all season long and there are plenty of other "mysteries of the week" to keep everything interesting. Too bad the show only lasted three seasons, but at least it got that long. |

| Veronica Mars was one of the most kick butt, touching, FUNNY, and suspenseful shows ever. The character, Veronica was wonderful, and Kristen Bell did a wonderful job at portraying this complex person. Who Killed Lilly Kane? Who was behind the bus accident? Well you'll just have to watch & see. |

Are the plots great. Not really. They're okay, sometimes clever, but not great. So how do you explain the large number of not just positive, but adoring, reviews for this show? Perhaps it is because "Veronica Mars" offered memorable, flawed, yet heroic characters, played by engaging actors, speaking exquisite dialog that resonated with first-class wit, and sincere emotion. All of those qualities are, sadly, in short supply.
I am a 56 year old attorney. I watch football, basketball and movies on television. But the only episodic television shows I watch are: HBO's The Wire The Wire - The Complete First SeasonThe Wire - The Complete Second SeasonThe Wire - The Complete Third SeasonThe Wire - The Complete Fourth Season, 30 Rock 30 Rock - Season 1 and Flight of the Conchords. Flight of the Conchords - The Complete First Season
I love all of those shows. In particular, I'm a member of the crowd that believes "The Wire" is a work of art. But the only show I obsessed over is/was Veronica Mars. Seriously. I pine over its cancellation almost as if my first love had just broken up with me. To steal one of the show's most captivating phrases, it reminded me of when waves of romance first washed over me and I thought that life and love would be "Epic -- spanning years and continents, ruined lives, blood shed; Epic."
Before I go on, however, let me stress the fact that the show features a great wit. You can get a taste of the show's wit by reading the article Wikipedia published at: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Veronica_Mars
(and then consider what sort of show on the WB would justify such a page?)
It is the sort of "silly television dramedy" that has prompted serious academics to put down their Nietzsche and Shakespeare and write charming, thoughtful essays about their obsession with this show. Many of these essays are collected in "Neptune Noir" Neptune Noir: Unauthorized Investigations into Veronica Mars (Smart Pop series).
Find out why this ratings-challenged show that the WB network treated like a poor relation, has evoked this sort of response.
Risk the obsession. Take the chance of falling in love, despite your adult sophistication, as if you still had the heart of a teenager.
The fans of "Freaks and Geeks"Freaks and Geeks - The Complete Series got a raw deal. But as for "Veronica Mars," well . . .
Risk the obsession. |
