The smartest high school drama since iBuffy the Vampire Slayer/i, iVeronica Mars/i is iThe O.C./i as penned by Raymond Chandler. Veronica (Kristen Bell, iDeadwood/i) is Nancy Drew by way of Lauren Bacall, while Neptune makes Peyton Place look like Mayberry. The first season begins in the aftermath of a dizzying array of cataclysmic events: Her best friend, Lilly (Amanda Seyfried), was murdered, her sheriff father was fired over his handling of the case, she was sexually assaulted, and her mother left. Since then, Keith Mars (Enrico Colantoni, iJust Shoot Me/i) has become a private eye and drafted Veronica as his assistant. She may lack Buffy's physical prowess, but the "tiny blonde one" turns out to have a special talent for sleuthing. In the wake of her sophomore year, the popular crowd abandoned Veronica--even boyfriend Duncan (Teddy Dunn), Lilly's brother. (Hence the theme song: "We Used to Be Friends.") Veronica is on her own until she meets Wallace (Percy Daggs III), the only student unfamiliar with her past, unlike Duncan's sarcastic pal, Logan (Jason Dohring), one of her more ardent foes. He was Lilly's boyfriend and his father is movie star Aaron Echols (Harry Hamlin). By the end of her junior year, Veronica and Logan will make their peace, but it won't be so easy to win over the school--let alone the town. Throughout the season, Veronica will solve several mysteries both big and small--including the murder of Lilly Kane. But a few questions remain. For instance, at the end of the season finale, Veronica opens the door to greet an unseen visitor with "I was hoping it would be you." So who was it? Fortunately, UPN renewed the critically acclaimed (if ratings challenged) teen noir and that tantalizing question will be answered in the second season premiere. i--Kathleen C. Fennessy/I

Awesome TV Show! August 11, 2008
Movie Crazy Girl
I had bought this DVD without having seen it on TV. As soon as I watched the first episode I was completely hooked. I ended up finishing the whole box set in two days because I was so addicted and had to know who killed Lily Kane. I agree with the back of the box that says "A Little Bit Nancy Drew. A Little Bit Buffy". However, some of her fast paced comebacks remind me of Lorelai Gilmore from Gilmore Girls. Kristen Bell did a wonderful job and it was cool seeing Enrico Colantoni playing her dad. I have already bought season 2 and can't wait to get addicted to the whole next season.

I was drawn to this series by it's reputation for being well-written and captivating. I often find myself not liking the over-popular shows however. Veronica Mars turned out to be one of those shows that deserves all the hype it gets. br / br /The show is hard to pin down with a target audience. The most obvious choice would be the young teen crowd because they can identify with the high school setting, and the likeable character of Veronica. Ms. Mars ends up being quite witty and often throws references about that are beyond her 17 year old character. When asked how the private eye business is going she responds "We're still chasing that maltese falcon!" So the show definitely has some jokes for older audiences. br / br /The show is set in the typical nondescript American beachside city where people park their cars at school with surfboards on the roof. This show wastes no time in tearing down the picture perfect facade that other shows rely on though. Veronica Mars takes the familiar teen drama setting and infuses it with gritty realism, throwing in issues like rape, drug use, sexual affairs, abusive households, alcoholism, and of course the central plot line of a murder. It's worth mentioning to cautious parents that this show is rated PG and although the topics are heavy, they are dealt with in a way that is not explicit. br / br /The real accomplishment of Veronica Mars as a show is to be entertaining to a variety of audiences. The role of Veronica as her father's P.I. assistant makes her somewhat of a Nancy Drew throwback, but unlike most shows like this, you don't get the feeling that the mystery is small time, or purposely simple so young audiences can follow it. Veronica solves cases for her classmates at high school, but the cases are not the dull "who stole the cookie?" type. The central plot of her best friend's murder is very interesting, and ties in well with all the shows characters. br / br /Lastly, for those tired of shows that drag on forever, stringing you along with a single plotline, rest your fears. By the end of season one, you will be satisfied, but curious about season two.

There are not enough synonyms of the word AMAZING in the dictionary to describe this show. I would write more about it, but I might go on forever. My only recommendation is: if you haven't seen it, just watch one episode. That's all it takes! I was hooked by the first 6 minutes of Episode 1, Season 1. Veronica Mars is worth every single penny!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Great show April 23, 2006

This show is amazing. Really great, well written. The acting, especially by Kristen Bell is fantastic. My only beef is with the DVD's and not with the show. There are almost no extras or special features included in this box set. No commentaries or any other frill, the only thing it includes are some deleted/extended scenes. Which, for a show this cool, is pathetic. I am sure that they could have come up with more extras. Still, this set is worth buying, if only so you can watch the show over and over again.
Oh, so good! March 9, 2006

Veronica Mars has replaced the void left by Buffy in my heart. My Mum got the DVDs for my birthday, and I thought it looked kind of lame. Being in Japan means I've had no exposure to American television for the past two years. It is brilliant - the story is so well written, well acted and compelling. This show is SO far from lame! Buy the dvds and enjoy. You won't regret it at all.
