Play It Again, Dick is an American
Production
The origin of the series was connected to the production and release of the film adaptation of Veronica Mars. The digital division of Warner Bros. initially approached Hansen with the idea of a Dick-centered series, intended to promote the film. Most of the original starring cast responded to the concept agreeably and decided to participate.[12] The CW was open to the premise for the series.[13] However, Thomas was reluctant to be involved in the project, as he was engaged in other pursuits, including the Veronica Mars film and several television pilots. Because he almost did not agree to produce the project, it was almost cancelled; the network brought in several of Thomas's acquaintances to write and direct in order to lighten the creator's workload.[14]
Thomas thought that the filming would be a casual affair. He stated in an interview, "I honestly thought we would do it in a day and it would be like Ryan Hansen's sitting on a couch playing Xbox and you just rotate the other five or six cast members and it would just be them chatting, like three or four minutes of funny chatting on a couch. When I said yes, that's what I imagined. When I showed up at the first production meeting and they had given us so much more money and they had such higher expectations."[14] The filming schedule for the entire series lasted for eight days at the beginning of August 2014, with Hansen recalling that the cast and crew shot 14 script pages a day.[12] On returning to the character of Dick, Hansen said, "Once you play Dick, he develops inside of you."[12]
The CW announced the decision to produce a Veronica Mars spinoff on January 15, 2014, although its release date was unclear at that point.[15] Network executive Mark Pedowitz noted that a premise had not been decided upon at that point and that "[Thomas] talked about potential people being involved, but he didn't commit to anybody."[16] When asked for a brief description of the series by Alan Sepinwall, Thomas responded:
"The web series will have more in common with Party Down tonally, but it will be about Ryan Hansen, or at least a version of Ryan Hansen, deciding to capitalize on the current 'Veronica Mars' heat to get his own series on the air. He'll try to pull his actor pals into the venture with varying degrees of success."[16]
To play the role of Duncan Kane, Thomas tried to contact original actor Teddy Dunn, who had left acting to become a lawyer. Dunn was initially open to appearing in the series, stating "I would have actually liked to have done it, see everybody and catch up and have some fun." He did not specify why he refused the offer but also said that he was very hesitant to return to the role in any canonical appearance. The role was later given to Ryan Devlin who had previously appeared on the show.[17]

Reception
Although the CW Seed does not release viewing figures for episodes, Pedowitz stated that the pilot episode's premiere was the best ever for the network ratings-wise.[12]
The review aggregator Metacritic does not currently have an average score but lists two reviews, both of which it considers to be mixed.[25] Mike Hale of The New York Times thought that the difference in tone between Veronica Mars and Play It Again, Dick was the most interesting aspect about the web series, writing that it had a "broader, coarser, self-mocking style". Giving his overall opinion on the series, the reviewer opined, "For a short-form digital series, 'Play It Again, Dick' is fairly amusing." However, he found that Thomas and the cast often used the series as a means of self-promotion.[26] In an article for TV.com, Kaitlin Thomas gave the first episode a very positive review, writing that it "does not disappoint." She thought that small details and jokes were the core of the series but that one should experience these firsthand. She concluded, "the idea of Dick-centric series shouldn't work, but ultimately does."[27]

Storylines
Season 1
In the first season finale "The Colonel", Paige is left in care of the Beemans supposedly because of Elizabeth's sick great-aunt, but in reality, their absence is due to Elizabeth's gunshot wound. However, Paige is actually suspicious of her parents' disappearance, so she returns to her house and searches in vain for clues.[32]
Season 2
In the finale, "Echo", Philip and Elizabeth learn that despite the failure of the first attempt to recruit a "second-generation illegal", the KGB expects Paige to be the next candidate. The couple both vehemently oppose the idea, but Elizabeth starts to admit some attraction to it in the season's final scene.[32]
Season 3
Season 4
Development
Casting
Paige is portrayed by American actress Holly Taylor. After appearing in Billy Elliot the Musical on Broadway for several years, Taylor and her parents decided to move to Los Angeles and begin temporarily homeschooling to give her a chance to develop her acting skills.[33]
Characterization
FX's official character description describes her as someone whose parents' secret "completely unraveled the fabric of her life" and puts forward that her central internal conflict is to "confront the true boundaries of trust."
Taylor described her character's revelation about her parents as a turning point in her character development, stating that "it really hurt Paige to find out" and that it made her lose her senses of family and security. The actress also noted that Paige's feelings about this knowledge were more similar to "an emotional journey" than just anger.[34]
Acting
When asked about her reaction to becoming an important part of the show in season three, Taylor responded, "It’s really fun. I try not to think of it as being the actual center because there’s so many story lines going on and it’s so complicated, and also I don’t want to stress myself out."[35] In the same interview, Taylor expressed her desire for Paige to know her parents' country of origin.[35] After receiving the the script for the episode "Stingers", in which Elizabeth and Philip reveal their secret to Paige, Taylor reported being very excited and speechless.[34]
