Somehow I managed to miss this whole series when it was on the air and only discovered it on DVD. Why did this get canceled?? It was great! There's so much STUPID stuff on TV these days - I REALLY don't like the 'reality' shows - and something this smartly written and wonderfully acted gets the ax? The main character in this series, Veronica Mars, was once a sweet and naive high school girl whose father was the Sheriff and her friends were the wealthy and popular kids. Then her best friend is murdered and her world falls apart - he father loses his job, her mother leaves, and Veronica is treated as a pariah at school. What she went through would have driven most people to suicide or major depression at the least. Instead, "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger" Veronica transforms herself into a smart and tough modern-day version of Nancy Drew. She comes to the rescue, rights wrongs, and protects the weak.... cross her at your own peril!
