Our good friend Mori over at AICN takes a look at fresh DVDs, including one of my favorites, Veronica Mars 2nd Season. When the CW debuts, they should air Smallville and Veronica back to back. Similar audience I think. Well, here’s Mori on Veronica….
When I first heard the premise of this series (female private eye in high school), I pretty much wrote it off as a post-BUFFY update of NANCY DREW. Sure, it was created by Rob Thomas, whose CUPID is one of the most unjustly cancelled shows in recent memory, but I don’t make a lot of time for TV each year. Even when Hercules The Strong lost his damn fool mind over the show, I remained skeptical. After all, it’s a well-known fact that Hercules is a 14-year-old girl, so whenever it’s a girly show, I try to factor that into his reaction. In this particular case, though, he was right. I caught up with the series when the first season hit DVD last summer, and I was pretty much immediately smitten. I wrote about it pretty extensively on my DVD blog at the time, but when the new season started I once again found reasons not to watch. I’m not even sure when VERONICA MARS aired this year, but I think it was in conflict with something I already had the Tivo set for. I spent the year avoiding spoilers studiously and then happily dug in and watched the entire second season in two days when Warner sent it to me this week. My reaction to it compared to season one? Loved it. I thought it was a clear step forward from the groundwork laid so well in season one, and I think the cast got even better this time around.
