This kind of was missing the Veronica Mars je ne sais quoi for me. It was kind of a standard mystery, without much that makes the VM franchise. Also, I think it was gutsy for Rob Thomas to take on a rape victim who's an unreliable witness after the reception that Season 3 got. The best parts for me were the sideplots revisiting core VM characters, such as Weevil's arc.

(I also like neither Logan nor dogs, so your mileage may vary.)
