Veronica Mars


Veronica Mars. The greatest show on television you probably never watched. Its a teenage drama about a girl who is also a part time detective ala Nancy Drew. It only lasted 3 seasons but was praised by well known pop icons like kevin smith, josh whedon and others.

Veronica solves different mysteries ranging from practical jokes, murders, theft, and even rape. She also goes through her own personal trials and tribulations along the way such as dealing with cheating boyfriends, being drugged then raped, and being thrown in jail.

The show is well written and injects a mix of humor, sarcasm, and social commentary. The chemistry between the actors and the overall who done it feel really draws the viewers into the series. Although the series is available here via reruns, you may want to try your local pirater as the episodes are best viewed one after another as the race to solve the mysteries intensifies. Admittedly i always changed the channel when a teen drama like gilmore girls or the OC was on, but thank the heavens that I started watching VM, it turned out to be one of my all time faves.
