The smartest high school drama since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars is The O.C. as penned by Raymond Chandler. Veronica (Kristen Bell, Deadwood) 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, Just Shoot Me) 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 Echolls (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. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Customer Reviews

Television for the [all] ages......
As good a season of TV as you will EVER see, VMS1 is note perfect in every department. I bought the show purely on the back of rabid forum recommendation and put off watching it for ages because I was afraid it would be patronising teen garbage but I couldn"t have been more wrong. The upside was I amassed all 3 seasons and watched them all back to back and while all 3 are fantastic, season 1 is just extraordinarily good. It is a travesty the show was cancelled after 3 seasons - Les Moonves, you are NOT my favourite person despite your humorous appearances on "The Late Show"! Cancel that crap, CSI Miami and put Veronica Mars back on air!

great show
This was a great show. I am having a good time going back to the beginning and revisiting the story lines. I am looking forward to catching up in set 3 as we had missed some programs and lost track of what was going on. We were extremely disappointed when the show was cancelled. Glad to have the DVD's.

Best. Show. Ever.
Seriously, you need to buy this.
Clever, witty, funny and, sometimes, sad and a little disturbing.
I'd describe it as "colourful" noir.
Great story arcs, well developed characters...and Kristen Bell.
I love it so much I teach a whole unit on it at Y10!
Seriously, you need to buy this.
