SEASON SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

All hail the bacchanalia that is the glorious tradition of spring break in Neptune, a time for scantily clad beachgoers to get loaded, laid\u2026 and murdered. When a series of fatal bomb blasts threatens to decimate the seaside town\u2019s tourist industry, Mars Investigations is hired by a wealthy congressman to track down the killer of one of the victims. As Veronica (KRISTEN BELL) navigates new developments in her longtime relationship with Logan (JASON DOHRING), she\u2019s sucked into a dangerously complex mystery that pits anti-spring-break elites against working-class townies and stretches from Neptune\u2019s pristine paradise into U.S. politics and a Mexican drug cartel. But never fear, Marshmallows, Veronica\u2019s back \u2013 and she\u2019s still fighting mad.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

VIDEO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Warner Brothers releases Veronica Mars: The Complete First Season<\/em> <\/strong>onto Blu-ray via their Archive Collection MOD program. Each episode is shown with a 1.78 widescreen aspect ratio and given a 1080p high-definition transfer. For the most part, this pretty much looks on par with any new show, detail is sharp while the picture itself looks pristine, no real texture either, while colors are generally bright and black levels are stark and deep.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

AUDIO \u2013 4.0\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The included DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track on every episode isn\u2019t anything noteworthy yet still serviceable with clear dialogue coming through the center channel and some moderate depth for the front and rear speakers, mostly for ambient noises or the generic score.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I never really watched the original run of Veronica Mars<\/em> outside of a clip here and there, so going in I didn\u2019t really have any warm memories though I know some avid fans didn\u2019t care for this revival but for me, I found it passably entertaining as I do generally like a snarky Kristen Bell, but no real desire for a \u201csecond\u201d season.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
