Movie Description
Set in Neptune, California, VERONICA MARS is a popular TV drama that follows the fortunes of a 17-year-old trainee private investigator. Neptune is full of powerfully rich residents, many of whom believe they are above the law. Fortunately Veronica, who was propelled into a life of crime-fighting after her best friend, Lilly, was murdered, is on hand to ensure that justice is served, much to the annoyance of the Neptunians who find themselves frequently foiled in their devious plans. Veronica's father is the former sheriff of Neptune, who found himself removed from office after alleging that Lilly's father was responsible for his daughter's death. Now, together with Veronica, he runs a local private investigation business, while also ensuring that his daughter doesn't neglect her high school duties. A long-standing subplot that runs through the show is Veronica's attempts to clear her father's name, which only leads to further evidence of enormous corruption and deceit in a neighborhood that seems littered with criminal activity. The entire second season of the show is collected here.

Editorial Reviews
"MARS is a wonderfully ambitious show, and Thomas clearly has a long-reaching multiseason mythology in mind..." -- Grade: B
Entertainment Weekly - Brian M. Raftery (08/25/2006)
5 stars out of 5 -- "Bell is unbelievably cute as the titular Veronica, and holds it all together with style, but the real star is the snappy, witty, intricate writing."
Ultimate DVD - Paul Spragg (12/01/2006)
"[I]ts sophomore effort still packs a punch....VERONICA MARS is always worthy of further investigation."
