Is the show really that good ? it was cancelled after 3 seasons
going by most things its usually not bothering with if it lasted only 3 years.
I loved
Buffy/angel
Lost
Breaking bad
Walking Dead
Vampire Diaries

Judging from the shows you currently like I would say you wouldnt really like Veronica Mars
Why?
Veronica Mars did complex interlocking mysteries that unveil themselves over a season better than LOST
Veronica Mars does teen drama better than Vampire Diaries ever has
Veronica Mars did interlocking personal relationships as well as Walking Dead
And Veronica Mars does smart, witty dialogue that's up there with Buffy & Angel.
As those 4 things are what each of the 4 shows were/are strongest at doing then there is little reason why the OP wouldn't like VM
Quality and ratings are only loosely correlated. There are some terrible, terrible programs that get great ratings, and some tremendous shows that critics and cult audiences love that never get enough mainstream attention to justify their expensive production budget. Veronica Mars had enough material over 3 seasons to be worth getting into it as a new viewer.
Breaking Bad is one of my very favorites, I also enjoy Walking Dead (though season 2 was a low point), and I liked Lost at the time but feel let down by the resolution. I never quite managed to get into Buffy, but the parallels are obvious and there is a large overlap between their audiences. I think if you like all those shows there is a very high probability that you'd like Veronica Mars. It was very well made and entertaining.

Despite being nothing like Buffy in terms of plot, it did share a similar feel in terms of snappy dialogue, cultural references and a strong female lead with her gang of "scoobies".
:eek: Seriously ?! :eek:
You believe most series cancelled after their 3rd season aren't worth bothering with ?! .. seriously ?! :eek:
I can think of a whole bunch of shows that only made it to 2 seasons, and more only getting 1, all of which would be worth dealing with.
3 seasons still gives you 64 episodes - that's quite a lot of TV to get to grips with. In comparison Fawlty Towers only ever produced 12.
damn I was supposed to right would wrote wouldnt by mistake
YES! YES IT IS!!
lol im halfway through season 1 its great so far I defiantly see the Buffy style lines the show has the last ep I watched just featured Alyson Hannigan what a great surprise that was.
Im loving how the murder mystery is unfolding little by little each episode and then how another mystery is added and veronica is doing all these things at once LOL
I hope S2+3 are just as good or even better
Are you aware the Hiss Jossness himself, Mr Whedon once declared VM as the "Best. Show. Ever"
(http://whedonesque.com/comments/7502)
If you really are a Whedon fan then I'd recommend that you give it a try. It really is similar to his style, several Buffy alumni appear as guests and he even pops up in a cameo at one point.
If it's anything like that godawful S4 teaser at the end of the 3rd season DVD set, I'd rather they didn't bother and the older Kristin Stewart gets the less justification there is to make it IMO. She'll be 34 by the time the movie comes out so the whole teen-pi scenario is totally non-viable.
I can't see the movie finding an audience as it's going to disappoint the fans beause it'll have to be so different from the TV version and nothing in it is going to grab those who passed on the series 10 years ago.
if the movie has a good story behind it it should do ok but yeah I expect fans will be disappointed people would have moved on from the roles and the chemistry/spark just might not be there anymore then again it could completely surprise everyone it was written after the show ended wast it?
that's more of a good chance that the story could be good
iv yet to see S2+3 so I dunno if those 2 seasons are gonna be good for me
Almost £4m raised: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/559914737/the-veronica-mars-movie-project
If the fundraising video is anything to go by, the chemistry is still there - but yes, I'm prepared to disappointed. These revivals are almost never as good as you hope for. Then again, I'd watch anything with KB in it even if she was just reading the phone book.
You mean Kristen Bell?? You've just given me a good laugh, imagining a Twilight/VM crossover.
Judging from what Rob Thomas (series creator) has said today, the movie's going to be set ten years after the series (check out his Twitter).
yeh i was aware but for some reason it still didnt peak my interest, joss also thinks sam raimis spiderman is ultimate comic book movie and i think its overated so joss isnt perfect lol
i guess i liked sci fi too much at the VM aired, i might check it out at some point
Logan did it
no duncan did it
Lillys father must have done it lol
Great twist one of the best whodunits iv ever seen imo
It is a great show even if s2+3 are pants(which i highly doubt lol) that one season is some TV Gold
Season 3 ended with a few loose ends and fans have been wanting a film ever since. One will now be made with fan funding. They raised 2 million dollars in 11 hours, but the more they raise, the better the film will be.
There are 5 days left to contribute, so as a fan, you may be interested in doing so. You do get rewards for the contribution including digital copies of the film and DVDs etc., depending on the level of contribution.

Pleased you enjoyed it! S2 is almost as good and like S1 has a season-long mystery.
S3 wasn't "pants" but most people found it a disappointment following the first two. But I'll let you be the judge of that...
I'm not sure if it might seem dated watching it now though.
