Bingeworthy TV: Veronica Mars

Take one plucky teenage sleuth, add the murder of a wealthy, high-profile teenage girl, and you have the makings of a fantastic show called Veronica Mars.


Kristen Bell stars as the eponymous character, progressing from high school to college moonlighting as a private investigator under the tutelage of her detective father. Her best friend, Lily, was murdered and season one is all about Veronica trying to prove that the wrong man was convicted for that murder. The show ran for three seasons and each season has an overarching mystery arc. However, Veronica works many cases and each episode has a smaller mystery to solve.

 
Kristin Bell and Enrico Colantoni (who plays her father, Keith) are so believable as father and daughter. Bell brings such emotion and vulnerability to Veronica, you believe she is a teenager just trying to survive high school. Sadly the show did not get a 4th season, but through an amazing Kickstarter campaign, Bell and Veronica Mars creator, Rob Thomas, raised enough money to film a movie in 2014. Rob Thomas has also written a couple of books to keep the story going.
