Unfortunately for them there's Veronica Mars a smart fearless 17-year-old apprentice private investigator dedicated to solving the town's toughest mysteries. Veronica used to be one of the popular girls but it all came crumbling down around her after her best friend Lilly was murdered and her then-sheriff father Keith was removed from office for naming Lilly's rich father as the lead suspect. During the day Veronica must negotiate high school like any average teenage girl. But at night she helps with her father's struggling new private investigator business--and what she finds may tear the town of Neptune apart at the seams.Running Time: 935 min.System Requirements:Running Time 935 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 012569727748

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

1) Are you ready?   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This is amazing.the characters work so well,the mysteries keep the story going and you wanting more,the twists are awesomethe writting is painfully witty, SOOOO COOL the episodes in themselves, arent perfect but as a whole the dvd is PERFECT

2) Cross-gen entertainment   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Veronica Mars is one of the only television shows my mother and I have ever agreed on. We have extremely different taste in pop entertainment, but from the first episode this awesome program drew us both in and kept us interested. The writing is excellent, the cast consistently knocks it out of the park, and the continuity and production are fantastic. The second and third seasons are good as well, but the first season will always be my favorite, not least for giving me something innocuous and current to talk about with my mother every week.

3) If I could give this series more stars, I would   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Veronica Mars was a WONDERFUL series. I still miss it on Tuesday nights and watch the DVDs all the time.

4) A great first season   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If you like Veronica mars, you will love to see how it all kicks off in this great first season of the populare series.

5) five stars from me   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Veronica Mars is my favourite series to date. It has an excellent script & storyline, a great cast and it has a good soundtrack. What more can you want. Not to mention, it's season finale twists are the best I've ever seen. It's a shame they only made three seasons.
