Entertainment WeeklyJoss Whedon
The teen-soap element of the show is just as compelling as the season-long murder mystery. [14 Oct 2005, p.131]
Under The RadarNick Hyman
Unfortunately, the show deserves a much better DVD set.... For now, we’ll have to settle for one of the best shows from last few years in widescreen, and hope that Warner does better with season two. [#11; score listed is for series; DVD score is 50/100]
Paste MagazineJames South
It’s a thematically compelling, stylistically coherent and fully realized 22 hours of television.

"Veronica Mars" plays even better on DVD than it did on TV.... But sadly, this DVD... offers virtually nothing for those who already watched the episodes on UPN.

The smartest high school drama since Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Veronica Mars is The O.C. as penned by Raymond Chandler.

One of the most off-beat and refreshingly tart TV detectives in decades.
Read Full Review >DVD TownErik Martinez
It’s fun, smart and brimming with enough adventure and mystery to keep you coming back week after week. [Individual grades: Video 8, Audio 7, Extras 2, Film Value 8]

If seeing the first season is what it will take to make you a follower, and it might be, get the DVD set.

While the video does not impress and the lack of extras is a problem, I am not going to let those negatives influence the set's final score too much for one reason: DVD was invented for shows like this.

Dan gave it a10:
One of the best shows of all time.
Kevin L. gave it a10:
One of the best television series of our time. Its witty dialogue and its strong lead character is just brilliant. This is exactly what teen drama should be. The characters and the plotline is compelling, smart, witty and refreshing.
