How Veronica Mars Lost Sight of Itself

tvguide.com:

For fans of Veronica Mars, the noir drama that's really a high school soap opera in a trench coat (or is it the other way around?), 2019 was an emotional year.

The show earned a devout following during its original 2004-07 run — enough dedicated fans that when creator Rob Thomas and star Kristen Bell launched a Kickstarter to fund a Veronica Mars movie, it met its $2 million goal in less than a day.

The 2014 film Veronica Mars was then followed by two tie-in novels, but several years of radio silence followed. So, when Hulu announced a new mini-season airing in the summer of 2019, fans were hopeful that this would mean the beginning of a new era.
