It's not a teenage detective, it's not a law school grad defending her old boyfriend and dealing with old high school enemies. It's a mature Veronica who still loves her Dad and Logan and Wallace and her dog. It has the relationship with Keith as it makes sense. Veronica is seeing her Dad demonstrate some frailties and doesn't want to accept the possibilities that he might have issues. Logan wants a stable future and Veronica has (justifiable) commitment issues.
I loved it. I watched with my hubby and my 28 year old daughter. Old friends showing up made us happy, the banter made us laugh, we were as invested in Veronica and her relationship with Weevil as her relationship with Logan. Leo's new job makes perfect sense and the mystery is more real and riveting.
There are flaws. A bedroom scene in episode 7 was screaming "Not on Network TV anymore" unnecessarily. A few characters are missing that I'd like to have seen (Where are you Mac?) But Cliff is with us once again, and Veronica has a big dog with a goofy name.
Yes, I figured out the bad guy early on, but was given enough viable alternatives and rational explanations to enjoy Keith and Veronica search for answers. Keith and Veronica still have the best father/daughter relationship since Luke and Rory. Neptune can't get a decent sheriff for love or money and they still surprise us.
Do not step away from the last episode early!

Warning: Spoilers
I feel like this season is a bit darker than the show used to be or even should be, but they have me excited for how things will wrap up in the end.
Just don't abandon the comedy and Keith/Veronica dynamic as that is what makes this show.
