Veronica Mars - The Complete First Season Reviews

[Highly rated reviewer]

superb.........

this dvd series is superb. Veronica Mars is the only daughter of her poor Private Investigator father Keith Mars.

The series is set in the wealthy, seaside community of Neptune, where tension between the `haves' and the `have-nots' is rife.

the PCH motorcycle gang rules the highway, and the rich 09-ers, make the law bend to their will.

Veronica having had a bad sophomore year, is out cast by her friends, and the rest of the Neptune community at large, when she sides with her father over them.

Keith Mars is the former Sheriff of Neptune, but was voted out, after he went after the wrong man, for the murder of Lilly Kane, who was Veronica's best friend, and sister to her ex-boyfriend Duncan Kane. This first season deals with Veronicas investigation, of who murdered her best friend... a mystery that sees all the series regulars involved. Everyone is a suspect.

As Veronica tries to prove her ex-sheriff father's hunch, that the convicted killer is not actually the murderer, she also tackles mysteries for students at her school.

Veronica played by kristen bell, is very likeable, despite her obvious flaws. the sympathy she induces from the viewer is immense, especially when her troubled past is revealed in the Pilot episode.

The supporting characters are great, especially Jason Dohring who plays Logan Echolls - who is the `Obligatory psychotic...' as Veronica calls him; the depth of Logan's character is slowly revealed, as the season progresses, and his chemistry and unfriendly banter, with Veronica is always a scene stealer.

The relationship between Veronica and her father, is really at the heart of the show. the bond between the two of them, is only strengthened as time moves forward.

Among the other characters Veronica interacts with, is her best friend called Wallace - he is very likeable, since he`s one of the only friends, that Veronica actually has.

this series has a very film noir feel to it. The noirish lighting and subject matter, as well as the insightful voiceovers Veronica recites, in each episode, adds to the corrupt tone and inevitability, of the events that lead to the end of the season.

`A Trip to the Dentist' which deals with date rape, is one of the best ever episodes, and the season finale called `Leave it to Beaver' finally reveals the whodunit.

some really good episodes are: `Weapons of Class Destruction', `Pilot', `Silence of the Lamb', `Mars V.S Mars', `A Trip to the Dentist', `M.A.D' and `Leave it to Beaver'.

this series is well worth renting out.

Class In A Glass

I love this programme It has everything - its witty, classy, dark, real and addicive. The characters are absorbing and the story arch keeps you hooked and at the edge of your seat. Brilliant music too!

veronica is great

Veronica Mars will have you on the edge of your seat, it is funny, with great acting, with characters to fall in love with. there are many twists and turns in this series and it always leaves you wanting more.

if you rent this box set, you won't be able to stop watching it. It is highly addictive.

The episodes are well written and you get to know all about the characters very well. the twists and turns throughout the series are some of the best on tv.

if you liked buffy the vampire slayer and charmed, you will love Veronica Mars.

Veronica mars review

I think this tv series is brilliant its a sortof mix of nancy drew and a teen soap. I thuroughly recommend it

Greatest show in ages

This show is excellent, I am no teeny bopper and I love it.

You will laugh at Veronicas wit and you will fall in love with logan.

Its got great acting and even better writing.

Its a must see

It may be BRICKlite, but that's still half brick

One of the finest films of the last year or so was about a hard boiled teenage gumshoe searching for the murderer of his exgirlfriend among the classrooms and corridor of his high school.

Veronica Mars is a slightly less Dashiel Hammett interpretation of the same plot, and where it wooses out on edge and grit it makes up for it by way being more addictive than crack cocaine in the way that only really good teen TV can be.

Neptune high is the clique filled relm of beautiful thin rich people we know and love from all american teen movies with the added benefit that the rich are the truly rich who would never in reality be attending a shcool like this one.

The only real let down to the series are the continual flashbacks where the titular Mars appears almost unrecognisably in a long haired wig looking far more her true age of 25 than at any other time in the show.

Smart, thrilling, and fun!

Veronica Mars provides a perfect balance of drama, comedy, and thriller. The characters are extremely well casted, and the writing is witty and engaging. Each episode has its stand alone mystery (which Veronica solves), while furthering the season-long arching plot. I particularly enjoy watching Veronica (a high school student) technology, wits, and charm to solve mysteries with savvy. The characters have depth, and each add a different touch to the series. Definitely recommended! (We've watched and loved all three seasons!)

Amazing

I've watched the first season of Veronica Mars several times, it's that good. It's one of the most underrated TV shows out there (which, sadly, led to its cancellation). This is some of the best TV you will ever see. It is not just for teenagers! When I was laid up after getting my wisdom teeth out I decided to watch all of these with my mom and she got so hooked that she ran out the next day and bought the second season. It is really an incredible show! I think everyone will love it!

If you haven't seen it yet, rent it!

In my opinion the best american teen show I've seen in a long time.

The show revolves around the title character, Veronica Mars, a teenage high school student who works part time as a private investigator with her dad. The series starts about a year after the murder of Veronica's best friend Lily Kane. Her father, the sheriff, blamed Lilly's parents, believing they were involved in a cover up. However the Kanes were well respected and his accusation leads to him being fired and to Veronica being hated by the people who used to be her friends particularly Logan Echolls, Lilly's ex boyfriend.

Veronica spends the series working to solve the mystery of who killed her best friend, whilst helping out classmates with her PI skills.

There are a lot of things about this show that set it apart from the majority of other American teen shows. One is the fact that the whole show is carried by a female lead who is the complete opposite of the typical airhead who usually inhabits American shows set in high schools. Veronica is the sort of character you can't help but love because although she is pretty, witty and of course smart, she is also insecure without being irritating, cynical and has some obvious trust issues. The same can be said for a lot of the other characters in the show, even ones who start off seeming one dimensional. Logan Echolls starts the series as the 'psychotic jackass' and somehow finds his way into your affections with the witty banter between him and Veronica keeping you entertained. Basically, the show has a lot of character development, which is helped along by the fact that the characters are well thought out in the first place.

The dialogue is always fresh, often sarcastic, witty and full of pop culture references. The story is complex, with clues and red herrings throughout the series, building up to the final reveal of Lilly's killer. The show feels like a mix between a good noir detective novel and the OC, but without that annoying Marisa.

But, despite all it's sarcasm and cynical characters the show still has a heart and has probably the best father daughter relationship on tv.

What I'm basically trying to say is, if you're looking for a new tv programme to enjoy, this one is a brilliant choice.

nice

the main character veronica is so beautiful i would like to put my tiddle in her mouth and bum ps the programme is very good
