Veronica Mars
Reviews by Billie Doux
July 2010: Readers can now post comments on every Veronica Mars review.
Veronica Mars (2004-2007) was one of the sharpest, wittiest shows ever to hit the tube. Kristen Bell's Veronica was an extraordinary heroine, like Clarice Starling by way of Nancy Drew and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The other characters, especially her detective father and her emotionally disturbed love interest, were also fascinating and complex. Each episode was a brilliant, well-written mystery that was part of a larger, season-long mystery.
Season one of Veronica Mars was one of the best seasons of television I have ever seen. Season two was also excellent. I suspect that season three's unfortunate, unfocused meandering was the result of the network meddling with a previously winning formula. I was unhappy about the cancellation, and even unhappier with the final episode. I hated seeing such a quality show go out that way.
But don't let that stop you from trying this series. It's definitely worth watching.
