Movie Reviews of Veronica Mars - The Complete First Two Seasons
Movie Review: Veronica Mars: Best show on TV offers up both incredible seasons
Summary: 5 Stars
Veronica Mars is one of the rare breed of shows that comes along every few years. It has a premise that is original, writing that breaks the mold with its intelligence and sly, clever humor, fantastic acting with interestingly written characters, and most of all, dramatic story arcs that actually surprise the viewer. All combined you have a series that makes for great viewing and keeps you absolutely hooked, and is hands down the best show on TV.
In the space of little over a year, high school student Veronica Mars (the fantastic Kristen Bell) endures more tragedy than any teen should ever have to face. Her best friend, Lilly, is savagely murdered, her first love dumps her without explanation, she is raped at a party, and she is almost killed herself while exposing Lilly's murderer. Not enough? After that her new boyfriend gets charged with murder, a bus she is supposed to be on goes off a cliff killing 9 of her classmates, biker gangs are dealing drugs for the Irish mob, a creepy Mayor is doing some very not so nice things to kids, and her old boyfriend goes on the run from the cops. By this point, most people would draw into a shell and let tragedy dominate their lives. But Veronica Mars is not most people. Tragedy redefines her, and gives her purpose, strength, and the gritty and fiery character that audiences love.
Acting as Neptune High's private detective by day and helping her father (Enrico Colantoni) piece together mysteries at night, Veronica is determined to find the truth behind Lilly's murder, the bus crash, her rape, and many other shady incidents and make sure that those involved pay for the crimes. Over two seasons this search for truth will bring her into contact and conflict with sometimes boyfriend Logan Echolls (an exceptional Jason Doehring), gang member Eli "Weevil" Navarro (Francis Capra), best friend Wallace (Percy Daggs III), computer hacker extraordinaire Cindy "Mac" Mackenzie (Tina Majorino), ex-boyfriend Duncan Kane(Teddy Dunn), creepy mayor Woody (Steve Guttenberg) and too many others to name. Veronica Mars is the embodiment of the phrase, "a mystery, inside an enigma, wrapped in a riddle." Every show contains new intrigues, plots, schemes, and more red herrings then you can possibly count. Nothing in Neptune is ever exactly how it seems.
Season one is fantastic, and if it can be believed, season two is even better. The dynamic cast continues to flesh out and make their characters more real, and the writing is more consistent. This show is so complex and interwoven its necessary to watch the episodes in order, making it hard for new viewers to get into the mysteries, but once they give it a try, they are hooked. That's why its great both seasons are being offered as a package deal. Compared to the non-existent extras on the first season, Season 2's DVD set is chock full. According to the website TvShowsOnDvd, these include a behind-the-scenes featurette, deleted scenes and gag reels. This is the first must have DVD set of the year, and is timed for release with the fall TV season, where Veronica Mars will be back in action on the CW for a third year. This show and this set are Highly Recommended.
