During the first season of Veronica Mars, the cast did a promotional tour of the country. One of the stops was at a shopping mall down the street from us, so we packed up the kids and went (we were all huge fans). All of the main cast, every one of them, was even better-looking in person than onscreen, if that’s even possible. And no heavy makeup or anything. They were all very pleasant, despite getting worn out. We still have the autographed cast photos.
All right, on the strength of all the recommendations I’ve persevered. The first couple of eps didn’t really stand out to me, although i did like that they weren’t completely predictable. Just watched ep5 (about the stolen car) and it seems to pick up here, taking me by surprise about some turns. I’m definitely getting into the groove with the main cast, I like how they behave like actual people.
I have one small problem, though: I can’t tell all those boys apart. Duncan, Logan, Troy all look nearly the same to me.
Incidentally I also picked up Supernatural again, after some mediocre episodes (Skin, Bugs) there were finally some more exciting stories (Home, Asylum). The lighting is very dark though, must be those Canadian winters.
I will say while I really enjoyed Veronica Mars; Season-4 just didn’t work for me at all. It was a series re-boot some 12 years after the last episode of Season-3. I think it is 20-years later in show time (I am not sure). It simply didn’t have the spark the first three seasons had.
I’m in the middle of season 2. The “all those boys” grows by three or so additional ones. So, if season 1 bothers you, Season 2 will be worse.
Probably repeating myself, but I really liked Season 4 of Veronica Mars.
I think we can all agree that Season 3 was pretty bad, though 
But boy did I love the first two seasons. This thread may have prompted a re-watch!
Season 3 is bad? I’m in the middle of season 2 - first time watcher. Just curious what’s coming up.
It’s mildly controversial and generally considered the weakest of the three original seasons. But some people still really liked it. It shifts from high school to college which slightly altered the tone and character beats. More significantly it is my understanding the network brass meddled in the structure. They wanted to attract more casual eyes and thought that entire season story arcs were detrimental to that. So they insisted that the season be changed to several mini-arcs so new viewers could jump in mid-season and not be as confused.
I am not one of them, to the point where I’m pretty sure I never even finished it.
I struggled a bit as I noted above. Made it through the first mini-arc, then episodes sat unwatched for a fair bit. I’m pretty sure I plowed through them eventually, but all of my memories of the specific plots of that season have washed away like tears in the rain 
.
Though to be fair while I remember the main mysteries and their outcomes from the first two, I don’t remember a lot else about them. Shockingly it’s been twenty+ years!
I wanted to like it, but didn’t get past the first few episodes. Maybe I have to be in the right mood, or it was too close to finishing The Good Place. I think it’s sometimes difficult to see an actor in a different role.
I’ll probably try it again at some point.
