[100 Things] My DVD Collection: Veronica Mars: Season 1 & Veronica Mars: Season 3

When I first watched Veronica Mars, I wasn't sure I was going to like it. The first season boxset was a Christmas gift from a friend, and whilst he told me if I liked Buffy, I'd love this, I wasn't convinced. I was never into crime drama and all that - Veronica Mars surprised me.

This show had all the best parts of a fun High School show, plus the drama and intrigue of weekly mysteries, solved by a girl who could kick butt both verbally and physically - I loved it!

Season 1 was the best season for me and quite honestly, everything went downhill and disappointed me in Season 2. Given the way the other fans reacted to Season 3, saying it was even worse than Season 2, I wasn't even sure whether I wanted to get the 3rd boxset. The serial rapist storyline hadn't thrilled me in The Rapes of Graff episode, I wasn't sure I wanted more of that stuff, but whats a fan to do?

In the end, I bought it and watched it, and I think I've come to appreciate the kind of grown up Veronica Mars of Season 3 even more than the 'blah' Season 2. Its emotional, its interesting, its well done... even if the ending kind of left us all hanging... but Season 1 will always be the best to me, no doubt.

It sounds like a good show. I'm usually not very much into crime shows either. The only one I watched (which was AGES ago lol) was Remington Steele.

This is much less a crime show than it first seems. Veronica is a kick-butt kind of a girl, which I like :)
