The series remind me of Zoey Dean book series The A-List about the rich & Hollywood kids & Beverly Hills, 90210 (Which I Haven't Seen). A another show I regent, because I should've watched when it first air in Fox I was nearly 14 and I was not interest at the time same with Veronica Mars. I like the relationship with Ryan and Seth because they hit off when they first met. I like Seth, he's funny, innocent and cute and Seth's dad also made the series work too. I like Summer, I known she's shallow but she's fun and say something right. She and Seth are perfect together. They have beautiful scenes of California. The biggest of the series is they need to get rid of Marissa, she don't know what she wants she keep going back to cheater Luke or back to Ryan (make up your mind!) and she hurts everyone around her. The series is better than Josh Schwartz & Stephanie Savage other teen drama Gossip Girl. I had no plan to watch Season 2-4 I believe what readers said about the series went downhill I be wise enough to not watch it.

Decided to go back to the nostalgia trip of this show. Unlike most shows at its time, this one focused on someone unique; A kid from a broken home is taken in by a wealthy lawyer for troubled kids. Like all shows, it has its highs and lows, but the highs (Seasons 1-3), outweighed the lows (Season 4). Now, the new kids (Seasons 3, and 4) almost ruined the atmosphere of this show with the exception of a few, and I mean very few characters, and episodes. It had everything; The geek(Seth), the new kid (Ryan), the pretty girl(Marissa), the crazy woman (Julie), the concerned mother (Kirsten), the family man (Sandy), the outgoing crazy gf (Summer), the broken man (Jimmy), and the jock type boyfriend (Luke). The one liners are great, and the drama is intense. Give this show a chance, but be warned; Season 3 sinks somewhat low, and Season 4 goes even deeper. However, try to watch it to the end.

This show is awesome. It really is. I just love it. I love the cast, the characters and the story lines. The only thing I don't like about this show is the fact that it only went for four seasons and how much they put the adult characters into the plot lines. I would've liked it better if they had focused mainly on the teenagers, rather than half on them and half on the adults. My favorite characters are Seth and Summer, who coincidentally are my favorite couple on the show. My favorite season is probably Season 2, and then Season 3, Season 1 and Season 4 would have to be my least favorite. But it's still great.This show centers around Ryan, an underprivileged teenager who is kicked out of his house after he gets arrested. His lawyer takes him in, in their beautiful Orange County house. Ryan then stays with his new family whilst trying to fit into this completely different world. Overall, I give this TV show a 9 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Amazing.

I first saw it on TV in 2004(i know it's late),and decided to give it a try.At first I thought that would be another series with teens and all this cliché stuff.I was wrong ,the first two seasons are so original and have all these clues which attract most viewers.One of the very best TV series.I didn't have any special complains.I guess it kinda suit my tastes.In other words it may not be perfect for anybody.Noteworthy is the fact,that there are some plot details which are the main point of this show.For example,the show contains teen drama,teen problems and stuff like that.Personally,I think most shows,even movies depict all this drama so unrealistically,in the otherside the OC is realistic in most plot parts(there may be many "unrealistic" coincidences,but it would be so boring withoou that).Noteworthy is the excellent soundtrack that plays with each episode.Definitely a must see!
