Not Addictive - Just Boring and Condescending

Many people claim that Veronica Mars is addictive. "Oh, if only people gave it a chance, they'd find that it's a great show," they claim.

And yet, this show has been sampled widely thank to a relentless ad and PR campaign and the audience decided to stay away after they took a good look.

Why did they decide to stay away? Easy. The show is over-the-top and full of plot holes, which is the death knoll for any show that purport to feature a mystery. VM also tries to sell itself as an honest look into teenagers' life, but in reality it is a completely vacuous and artificial look at how cool the writers try to make themselves look.

The audience tried it, and like Arrested Development (another bad show that is still pushed and pushed and pushed by the Hollywood establishment) they passed on it and won't come back.
