This was the gift of a friend who hoped I'd love it as much as she did--and I did. I think it's one of the best television series I've ever seen. As the back cover puts it: "Veronica is an outcast in a trendy SoCal beach town. Once she ran with Neptune High's in crowd. But she's on the outside
The show reminds me of Buffy in its mix of darkly funny and moving. Only instead of being part of a paranormal genre, this is more Nancy Drew as hard-boiled detective as Veronica solves small mysteries while digging into some big ones. Again, like Buffy this has both strong self-contained episodes but they build into an arc--with a brilliant resolution. And you can even add some social satire/commentary into the mix about the haves and the have nots. Great stuff. This first season is as good as television gets. The second season, which my friend also gifted me with, is good, but not as good. I thought the resolution WTF, but individual episodes were still great. My friend didn't get me the third season, because she felt it sucked--but given there's a Veronica Mars film in the works I guess I'll have to look it up on Netflix--because I'm definitely seeing it.

after her best friend is murdered and her sheriff father accuses the wrong man as the perp: the dead girl's millionaire father." That's not the only complication--as slowly gets revealed. All the characters on this series have secrets and sides to them not obvious at first. The show reminds me of Buffy in its mix of darkly funny and moving.

A teenage private eye investigates her friend's murder.
1.5/4 (Meh).
I found this hard to watch. And yet I kept watching for some reason.
