Clevercell Very disappointing...
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Brynn Wilson (brynners-83266) This show is great. It is emotional, funny, dramatic, corney and hooking. There is a lot of struggle, love and life happening the whole time and you grow to love all the characters. However I honestly feel like the 4th season ruined the show. It turned really weird and different than the other seasons and I am really disappointed with how it ended. It didn't even seem like the same show by the end.
Phylum22 I have no doubt why The O C ended here. The first three episodes, taking place after the death of a main character, were good. Then it all went very wrong.Alternative realities? Really?Most of all, however, the dreadful, awful, non stop talking of ghastly Taylor! The introduction of whom just about did it for me. Not to mention the nonsensical pairing of her with Ryan. Just plain unbelievable. I loath her not stop idiotic chatter and find myself fast forwarding to avoid this awful, dire season.It such a shame compared to the very good writing of the previous seasons.
andrei-belous First season was brilliant, everything was too good actors, relationships, filming locations, cars, humor.... Marissa and Ryan, Summer and Seth, Sandy and Kirsten this relationships was one of highlights of this show, and this formula can stay this way, all of the seasons, but... After first season, second was a big disappoint, Ryan and Marissa don't revive his relation, and suddenly appears new cast (Lindsay, Alex, D.J. and dude(new friend of Summer)). - Alex - Olivia Wilde - she is hot, but her outfit and hair is awful - bad - DJ - whatever - Mexican guy, typical immigrant charity case, with muscles - bad - dude(new friend of Summer) - whatever - OK actor, but boring role - boring - Lindsay - Shannon Lucio - ugly girl (in compare with Misha Barton) with squeaky voice. There is no any chance, that any straight guy would change hot Marrisa Cooper with this banal redhead girl, so this story line is simple suck. The Bait Shop and his awkward concerts with no name band's (except The Killers), made too boring season two. So: First season - Brilliant Second season - BAD - because was broken crucial relationships for this show, and this was first step to death of this show(people start to get bored), show start to be more drama than comedy. If Ryan and Marissa where kept together in second season show will continue to be very popular (like Smallville did), but to add new ugly partner(most like Linsay) to our basic characters, was the death sentence to show, made by Josh Schwartz.
reneweddan Although I used to watch this show when it was aired as fresh talent on television, I haven't been writing reviews for too long.After watching Southland with Ben McKenzie, I was reminded of how excellent this series was and still is. Alongside Adam Brody, Ben McKenzie were the driving force to the success of The OC. Their acting is full of talent and although some acting from the other cast members could've been better, the show achieves its goal and receives my attention. I'm glad to see Ben McKenzie and Adam Brody have advanced their careers.Sometimes the episodes might seem bland, or the drama too unrealistic, but that's what I enjoy. I don't need a show to always captivate me with every dramatic situation, or to be too realistic as if I were watching a reality television show. Variety is key and The OC definitely deserves my praises.Excellent show for leisure viewing, not to be taken too series, but rather to be enjoyed for what it is.
