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
Product Description
In the wealthy seaside community of Neptune California the rich and powerful make the rules. 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

Television for the [all] ages...... August 23, 2008
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 August 18, 2008
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. August 2, 2008
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.
Love it July 15, 2008
Great show.. the dvds are great too. Tons of deleted scenes. You'll really get wrapped up in this story if you weren't already a fan of the show. Its amazing.
Great Series June 26, 2008
A few months before the second season began, I decided to rent the entire first season of the TV series Veronica Mars, I had watched one or two episodes during repeat season and really got into it, so we spent countless hours hooking up with the kids and their adult counterparts in Neptune, California and believe all the hype cuz this show is really, really good....
set all around teenage Veronica Mars, who's father is the fired Sheriff and now works as a private investigator, Veronica when she's not all sassy and ostresized from the richy rich, also does a little dabbling in the private investigation area - part Beverly Hills 90210, part Pasadena, and part Charlie's Angels - I just love it.
There is a continued mystery through out the first season regarding the death of Veronica's best friend Lily, the daughter of the super rich Kane family - whose son was also Veronica's one time love affair; as Veronica spends the season hanging out with her one friend Wallace, and fighting with just about everyone who used to be her friend, she ends up solving the murder and winning my complete adoration... and now all three seasons are on DVD - so relive those Neptune moments - you'll love it.
