The second season of Veronica Mars showcases the series' crackling-sharp writing and topnotch acting of star Kristen Bell and the rest of the cast. Veronica still struggles with the class wars in sunny Neptune, Calif., trying to find a balance between high school, love, helping her dad as a private eye, and doing the right thing. The ongoing thread of season 2 is the aftermath of a horrifying tragedy, and as Veronica and dad Keith try to find out what caused it, mysteries only compound. Shifty Sheriff Lamb, town powerbrokers, and various high-school cliques seem to undermine Veronica at every turn. Thankfully, Veronica has more chutzpah than Phillip Marlowe, and the side-of-the-mouth one-liners to match: "Well, actually," Veronica says dryly to a bad guy, "despite popular opinion, you really can't beat the truth out of someone." Some of the show's broad strokes echo the stellar Buffy the Vampire Slayer, yet Bell's Veronica doesn't need the supernatural to tackle a challenge. She's a real girl, conflicted, prickly, lovesick, yearning, sometimes even scared. As Veronica tries to solve the mystery, she must also handle her own heartbreaks, and the moral stumbles of those closest to her. Happily, she's got a great best pal, Wallace (the effervescent Percy Daggs III), and possibly the coolest, most understanding TV dad ever (Enrico Colantoni). The boxed set includes 22 episodes (many with deleted scenes), a behind-the-scenes mini-doc, a cute gag reel, and a short profile film, Veronica Mars: Not Your Average Teen Detective. You can say that again. --A.T. Hurley

Customer Reviews

Much like the first season, but better.
*Please note, if you have not seen Season Two and don't want me spoiling anything for you the viewer. I suggest you rent Veronica Mars Season Two on Amazon.com on Demand, Netflix, or The Playstation Network. If you don't care keep reading.

The season picks up three months after the ending of season one when it is discovered Aaron Echolls murdered Lily Kane. Much like the pilot episode there are a lot of flashbacks to went on during the three months after the solving of Lily's murder. We find out Logan Echolls was the mystery person behind Veronica's door at the season one finale. We also find out that Weevel's cousin Felix was stabbed by someone and throughout the season Logan is the assumed killer. Another thing that season one and season two share is the big event. Like the murder of Lily Kane which dominated season one as Veronica's huge case to crack (which actually gets wrapped up in a big way at the end of the season.) Season Two's big event involves a school bus crash which takes the lives of seven people including Veronica's close friend Meg Manning who plays a bigger role than ever thought possible when we met her in season one.

Veronica's love life gets into a Triangle ... like we didn't see that coming at the end of season one. The two men fighting over her friends Logan Echolls and Duncan Kane. This not being a pivitol arc I won't spend too much time with this for this reason. It seems like filler, Veronica Mars has never been a series like Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Collector's Set (40 discs) where the title characters' love life is so important to the seasonal arc.

What is important to Season Two's arc is the addition of new characters and or characters we met back at the tail end of season one. Dick Casablancas (the name fits his character) who doesn't go through that many changes but has a small part to the bigger picture of Season Two. Cassidy "Beaver" Casablancas (Dick's younger brother) who goes through a huge character growth in Season Two and actually becomes a huge player in the end of the season. The new mayor Woody Goodman played by Steve Guttenberg of Police Academy (20th Anniversary Special Edition) plays a character so different than the man most people knew from the 1980's. Then there is Jackie Cook daughter of Neptune Shark's icon Terrence Cook who eventually becomes Wallace's on again off again girlfriend. Her role in Season Two is very minor, who only role really was to be a love interest for Wallace.

The biggest guest star of the season is probably Charisma Carpenter better know to audiences as Cordelia Chase on Angel - Seasons 1-5 30-Disc DVD Set . In the second season she plays Dick and Cassidy's gold digging yet very fine young stepmother Kendall Casablancas a character that Charisma says is like a sexier, more evil Cordelia think of Cordelia from Angel - Season One (Slim Set) is a little more selfish and more evil.

All and all Veronica Mars Season Two left me speechless. But unlike Season One's finale Season Two's finale almost told the audience there will be a season three. If you were a fan of season one, you will be a fan of season two.
