Very Happy
My 13 year old daughter and I have watched this season together. It has been entertaining and it has helped us discuss some difficult topics. I think that this is a a great series for parents and young teens to watch together.

Totally Awesome
What more is there to say? I'm sure others will review this and give the pertinent information. I'll just say that it's a lot of fun, but nothing can live up to the first season.

I loved this Series.
Who would expect such a great series out of UPN? Great dialogue: "Annoy little blond one, annoy like the wind" still being my favorite. And though it's a little older in themes, Veronica Mars never forgets that, yes, this is a high school show.
I also have to admit, I never watched the show on TV, I didn't get it until well after it had aired and I had the Third Season on TV. And being, that I LOVED the Third Season, the First and Second far surpassed my expectations.
If you're looking for a good detective show, or an even better teen show, I strongly advise this whole series.

Slightly Down From a Brilliant First Season; Still Wonderful Nonetheless
Veronica Mars' sophomore effort (or, according to the series, her senior one) is excellent, if it doesn't quite achieve the heights of the first season.
It has a lot to live up to, after all, and the resolution of the bus accident just doesn't have the same punch as finding out who killed Lilly Kane. Also, we've moved past the unexplored romantic tensions between Veronica and Logan that provided so much kick to the mid-to-late parts of the first season, and are stuck instead in a bizarre love pentagon with Veronica, Logan, Meg, Duncan and Kendall.
Some characters, so central to the series initially, leave for a while and sometimes come back (and sometimes, not). While the final few episodes find a spark, again, and provide worthy thrills and chills, it isn't as fulfilling or meaningful as the season that came before it.
Not that this is a crime. The Second Season of Veronica Mars is still well-written, and beautifully acted by most of its regulars. The emergence of "Beaver" as a main character and his fledgling romance with always-endearing Mac is one of the highlights, as is the continued stunt-casting brilliance, finding roles (among others) for Kevin Smith and Joss Whedon.
On the whole, Veronica Mars is one of the recent bright spots in all of television, and these episodes are no exception to that. A four-and-a-half star season from a five star show: rounds up to five.

Two seasons down and one to go
This show just gets better and better. The writing is amazing and the whole cast from top to bottom are really talented. This isn't just a typical teen show by any means. There is more going on in one episode of Veronica Mars than most shows have in five. The bus crash mystery unravels all season long and there are plenty of other "mysteries of the week" to keep everything interesting. Too bad the show only lasted three seasons, but at least it got that long.
