Jora Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Veronica Mars is your answer. It's a detective show about a girl who tries to uncover such mysteries as who drugged and raped her, murdered her best friend or blew up a bus full of her class mates. The first two seasons have big, complex, season-long mysteries as well as smaller ones. Practically nobody watches the show but it's just so great that a third season has been greenlighted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veronica_Mars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was that other show Chris Carter produced, about a man who enters a game that is used like a penal colony or somesuch? It lasted only for a very short time. http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metadigital Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 They only made about three pilot episodes ... the first soldier they sent into the combat simulation took it over, and the show was about the guy they had chosen to send in after him (there were a few others sent in and never heard from again). Can't remember the name of it, though I think it was an internet release ... certainly I saw it on the intertron.

Plano Skywalker Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 the new BG is really good....it has enough sci-fi for geeks and enough soap opera for everyone else (but not too much). the Season 1 DVD is available as is Season 2.0. Season 2.5 has not yet been released (last time I checked) but should be released soon. I may even upgrade my cable so I can watch the new ones as they come out in the fall. I also picked up the boxed set of the old series....WOW, that brought back memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Veronica Mars is fantastic. Together with Battlestar Galactica it's currently the best show on TV (although season 5 of 24 sure gave them a run for the money). So those two would be my recommendation. The reason no one watches VM is that it's on UPN and that it's not really compatible with any of their other shows. Or people in the US has real crappy taste. Anothe reason is that the show concept on paper sounds really corny. I mean, high school detective? But it actually works. The writing and acting is absolutely fantastic. And for the record I'm a 29 year old male that doesn't like walks in the woods. So to answer the original question, VM and BSG are strong recommendations. Oh, also The Shield and The Wire.

roshan Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 I finished Veronica Mars a couple of weeks back, and I agree, great acting and very well written. I will check out battlestar galactica.
