TV DVDs - A little bit Buffy. A little bit Bogart. A dash of Nancy Drew. Veronica Mars takes the best and brainiest of the American culture of crime-solving and adds a unique vision of its own - brooding, edgy, darkly funny, and just plain dark - to become one of the hottest, sleekest series of this century. Veronica (Kristen Bell) is an outcast in a trendy SoCal beach town. Once she ran with Neptune High’s In-Crowd. But she’s on the outside after her best friend is murdered and her sheriff father accuses the wrong man as the perp: the dead girl’s billionaire father. Dad loses his job, Veronica loses her popularity, and both struggle to build a detective agency and new lives. E-mail scams, cults, car thefts - you name it, and Veronica investigates it. But her obsession is the murder of her friend. And she’ll take any risk to solve it.
