Veronica Mars: Explore the World of Film Noir
We love lots of things about Veronica Mars – the sharp characters, the biting dialogue, the twisty mysteries, the tortured relationships – but one of the things that cemented our love for the show was its unrepentant film-noir attitude. Think about it: Veronica is an outsider living in a bleak world, and nothing can be taken for granted. She deals with femmes (and hommes) fatale, official corruption and an outwardly sunny society that’s got one heck of a dark underbelly.
While Veronica is taking her well-earned vacation (hey, she caught a couple of serial rapists and broke up with her boyfriend in the same week – the girl needs a break), we're sating our film-noir urges with new and classic takes on smart-mouthed outsiders taking on the big, bad world. Check out the following titles to satisfy your bleak mystery cravings, then post your own noir faves in the comments section.

I think that they should have had Piz kick Logan's ASS instead of the other way around but i remember instinctively on the first episode the Piz said that he was a LOVER and not a FIGHTER so it did not suprise me that he didnt know how to fight and that he was going to get his ASS kicked all up and down the room by the arrogant and super HOTTT psychonessness Logan but I was also disappointed that Piz saw Logan yet again kick someone's(Gory)ass and that Piz did not kick Logan's ASS after he apologized to him because then at that moment he had realized that he still kinda had feelings for the one and only lovable yet not lovable Veronica Mars what a shame what a damn shame. You know what shame on you guys for not having Piz go medieval on Logan's ASS, but yet it also showed that Piz was nice and that he was also a big giant PUSSY but that he actually said that KARMA will come and kick that guy straight up in the ASS. OHHHHHHH OIOIOIOI i love what she said about the guy right after Piz said that thing about that karma and she was like oh ill run him over with my "CARMA". but besides that i loved the whole episode.

What is the deal with all the good shows ending at the same time? Also, why was this season of Veronica Mars so much shorter than all the rest?

You should add Brick to the list of your films. It's similar to Veronica Mars in a lot of ways I think!
