The O.C. Audience Reviews

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
Diagonaldi Very well executed
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
lilasalovaara This might sound silly but i'm not lying or being exaggerating - this tv show changed my life. It gave me a good feeling for the rest of my life. I could watch this show many times all over and all over again without getting bored or tired. Everything about this show is perfect, everything! The views, the music, the far-out characters, the lines, the sets, the clothes and THE MOST OF ALL - THE CAST!! I remember starting watching this show around the time when i just got a depression. I would sleep and then in between drown myself into this blue world of drama and comedy. This show got me through it. This show made me feel alive and became as my passion. This show was never long-wided, NO WAY! You never knew what was about to happen. This show had everything - excitement, funny humor, drama, thriller and love! I'm so thankful for Josh Schwartz making this show because it LITERALLY CHANGED MY LIFE. I MEAN, LITERALLY. I admire it and look it as a perfection. I've showed this show to all of my friends and they thought that this is at least very good! I also managed to turn the other one into a fan. I want everything to watch OC if they haven't seen it because this show gave me a lot and still means a lot to me! No kidding!
Taylor Kingston 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.
Genivieve DeClare At first glance this is a typical 'fish out of water' teen 'drama' where Ben McKenzie's character comes of age using his poor but honest perspective to provide his newly acquired. spoiled rotten, superficial new class mates with a deeper perspective. Mostly, he fails. He adapts and his faux gravitas fails whenever it matters. He's speechless at all the wrong times. Misha Barton is the true victim here. She's beautiful, tragic and doomed. Abandoned by her extraordinarily venal, crooked and weak parents she takes it upon herself to undermine her own happiness and well being by becoming the primary care giver to a series of implausible and obviously damaged beyond repair characters. Her character never twigs on any of it despite the blatant absurdity. This failure and the fact that no one, even her closest friends, ever bothers to notice or discuss it show how determined the show runners were to destroy her. The show runners obviously are using her as revenge for being rejected by the beautiful girls when their nerdy selves were humiliated and rejected by the Misha Barton types when they were in high school. It's a shame. The whole show revolves around Marissa Cooper's insensible neurosis which is in direct contradiction of the considerable attributes the show insists she possesses. This show is ruined by the naked hostility of the show runners to strong, beautiful, young women. They are the worst sort of self indulgent, superficial, misogynist twerps writing today. Misha Barton, the actor, was abused and misused by these insecure, vindictive cretins. Appalling.
Evita07 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!
