Veronica Mars
Just finished watching it. All three seasons. Great TV show, but with each season it got a little bit worse.
The first season had a very nice overall plot, wrapped up at the end with a nice slightly unexpected ending. The overall arc completed and it wrapped up in the first few episodes of the next season.
The second season was a bit worse. They threw a large event in at the very beginning. And then they didn’t touch it for a while. And then they brought it up again. And then it disappeared. They used it for a few random smaller arcs within the season and then in the end it was someone who wasn’t even remotely related at the beginning. Before the end he was mostly a minor character. Not the even close to the best season of a TV show I’ve seen.
Season three? The ending was very abrupt and poorly done. They wrapped up in the last 10 minutes what should have been done in another two or three episodes. I liked the season as a whole a bit better but the conclusion was simply terrible.
One thing that did get better throughout the show? Smart, cute, blonde girls really grow on me.
