Leave it to this hip modern day Nancy Drew to keep
viewers in suspense during last year’s so-so TV season.
The first season of “Veronica Mars” introduced viewers to
a show that threw in elements of “Buffy”, “Twin Peaks” and
wrapped them all in a warm fuzzy post modern robe of drama.
Veronica (Kristen Bell) is a high school student who tries
to discover who killed her best friend Lilly (Amanda Seyfried).
This larger mystery looms in the background as she solves
smaller ones throughout theseason with the help of her father
Keith (Enrico Colantoni) the former sheriff of the town.
This boxed set includes all 22 episodes from the first season.
The show looks extremely good with a nice crisp, sharp transfer
and rich colors. ---

An extended pilot episode and
deleted scenes are the main highlight here as well as an alternate
opening for the show. |

Final Words:
|
A fascinating series that takes
Nancy Drew and updates it for the 21st century, “Veronica
Mars” doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles one has
come to expect for recent DVD releases. The show, however,
is worth revisiting and this fine set from Warner features
a nice transfer of the series to DVD. |
