Veronica a student who progresses from high school to college while moonlighting as a private investigator under the tutelage of her detective father. While working on Piz';s case, Veronica learns that the campus serial rapist has struck again. Meanwhile, Keith runs into trouble while transporting a recently released convict across the country to reunite him with Kendall.
VM has had a good long run, and it's better to celebrate that we had three (very nearly) full seasons with Veronica rather than throw ourselves on her funeral pyre.
For all of its wondrous charms and agreeable reasons for watching, the fact is that after Bell and a smattering of quote-worthy dialogue, Veronica Mars probably doesn't have enough dramatic heft to break out of its own cult status.
Veronica was a very cool show, with one of the best female characters on television at its center. True, Season 3 wasn't as strong as the first two years, but it was still compelling television.
Perhaps this is the real mystery of Veronica Mars: The mystery of why a show as well written as this one needs to beg for an audience supposedly starved of quality entertainment. A mystery likely to remain unsolved.
Like many of the best network shows, Veronica seemed just a little bit ahead of its time, the kind of DVD boxed set that will be passed around for years.
Season 3 did set up the intriguing and perfectly realistic possibility that Veronica Mars could not only survive but continue to find ways to reinvigorate itself.
