Well ok, it was canceled, I know. So go rent or buy the DVD’s then!
Canceled after only 3 seasons (I just finished watching season 2) we are cheated out of three more years of college life and are left only to imagine what might have been.
Starring Kristin Bell (Heroes) as the title character, this show is a lively mix of Nancy Drew mystery solving, Buffy girl power (Veronica even has her own Scooby Gang) and a dash of West Side Story. The writing is sharp and witty, plenty of pop culture references, banter and burns. It has a very neo-noir storytelling style. (And I dig the noir.)
Veronica Mars leads the life we all wished we could have in high school. Moonlighting as a private investigator, smart enough to take down the most evil rich girl (or boy), tough enough to stand up to the nastiest biker and nerdy enough to hang with the geeks.
But it ain’t all wine and roses in Neptune, California. There is loads of family dyfunction, murder, mayhem and plenty of high school hi-jinx and teen angst to go around. On the bright side she does have the coolest Dad/mentor ever in Private Eye Keith Mars. And he’s definitely the most reliable person in her life.
Now – There’s a lot more going on in Neptune than I can tell you here without spoiling everything... So put down the controler and go get this too short-lived series on DVD today!
