In the wealthy, seaside community of Neptune, the rich and powerful make the rules. They own the town and the high school, and they desperately try to keep their dirty little secrets just that...secret. Unfortunately for them, there's Veronica Mars, a smart, fearless 18-year-old apprentice private investigator dedicated to solving the town's toughest mysteries. During the day, high school senior Veronica negotiates the halls of Neptune High like any average teenage girl. By night, she helps with her father Keith's private investigator business, sneaking through back alleys and scoping out no-tell motels with a telescopic-lens camera--while studying her math book--in an attempt to uncover the California beach town's darkest secrets.

It seems this bundle is SD only? But seasons 2 and 3 are available in HD when bought separately. And it doesn't include the movie or the 2019 season 4.
Still a good deal I suppose but the whole thing is available in HD on Vudu or Amazon. Not for $10 ofc but still. I think I'll be requesting a refund for this one.
I don't mind watching older TV shows in standard def if that's how they were shot. But something like this where they just doesn't have the HD version available I'd rather wait and buy it when they do.
I bought Season 1 on Amazon Prime and Season 2 on Vudu a few years ago for $5 each. Both HD.
The web page shows HD for the individual episodes, but SD on iTunes. Did anyone buy it? Can you let us know if it's SD or HD?
I'd love to pay $10 for all 3 seasons so I can have it on one service, but probably not in SD because I have the DVDs too. I need to see a young Kristen Bell in HD, preferably 4K.
BTW, the movie is good too. Captures the essence of the series. On Vudu D2D for $2. Didn't watch Season 4 which came out years later because I heard it was bad.
I checked the first episode and a random one from season 2 after buying it and they both played in SD only.
I guess I'll request a refund from iTunes and wait till Vudu has a good deal then. I'd rather have HD for $20 than SD for $10.

Similar thing happen to me. I already had the entire DVD set of Frasier, and had ripped it to my NAS. Once there was a sale on the entire season and I figured I'll buy it again for the convenience of having it on iTunes. I played the first episode and immediately realized their quality was much worse than my own DVD rips - even though both were in SD. The bit rate was horribly low on iTunes. And any time there was any dark feature, like black curtains, on the screen there was distracting visible macro-blocking. I immediately requested a refund. I just couldn't get past the poor SD quality.
Hmm. So the 'complete' original series doesn't include Season 4 (2019) and all shows are in SD format.
The 'complete' original series was on UPN and The CW from 2004-2007. You yourself pointed out that Season 4 occurred TWELVE YEARS LATER and was produced by Hulu, not UPN/CW. So no, I wouldn't expect them to be packaged together.
That being said, your complaint about it being SD instead of HD is 100% valid.

Link takes me to a website that's preview only. iTunes didn't send to be an app for Google Pixel.
If I was at home I'd just go on the Roku and try that but I won't be there until tonight.
Awesome show!

Then the 2 hour movie
Then there a season of "Play it again, Dick" (Did not watch)
Then season 4 on Hulu.
(There is also a 15 minute preview for the original season 4. Walton Groggins would have been in as your FBI boss.
EDIT: Deal dead. I see it as full price now.
