From LATimesTVLloyd: The new season of 'Veronica Mars' is an imperfect work, with a perfect performance at its center.
the Showtime series about self-dealing management consultants in which she appeared opposite Don Cheadle; or in “Deadwood,” where she took the role of a con artist masquerading as a good girl working as a prostitute. She’s a small person, with a persistent touch of the child in her features, that makes her age hard to pin down. As ingenues go, she’s always been a bit of a bad girl — elfin, but impish.
Not that the character has remained static. As Bell has grown older, so has Veronica, whom we first met as a 16-year-old high school junior. Seven years separated the end of the series from the 2014 Kickstarter movie, and an additional five have elapsed between that and the Hulu season. Veronica is less Nancy Drew now than a sister of Sara Paretsky’s V.I. Warshawski or Sue Grafton’s Kinsey Milhone.
There have, of course, been successful film franchises, and movie actors who have returned to the same role over many years, and characters who have been played by many actors. But TV exists over time in a special way. There have been 26 James Bond movies over the last 57 years; loosely estimated, that’s 52 hours of Bond, a mark “Veronica Mars” hit sometime in its third season. You might have seen her more often, and more regularly, than your actual friends.
