The OC - The Complete Season 2 [DVD]

When I saw the first episod of The OC, i thought it was nothing special, just another teen TV show.... But then I keept seeing it and the show swept me off my feet... From the amazing actors (the "heartbreakingly beautiful" Mischa Barton, the hilarious Adam Brody, etc) to the great plot-driven story, you can't see just one episode, you have to see 2 or 3 at a time! You never know what will happen next, and can't avoid watching the show wishing Marissa and Ryan end up together...That's why this DVDs are so good, because if you loved season one, there's no way you can pass withouth season two! :)If you're a fan of The OC, just buy it, you know what i'm talking about...If you're not a fan, then just buy season one and season two pack, it's worth every penny!The best TV show ever!

After the tear jerking finale to season one, season two wastes no time at getting started with even more angst and trouble for the characters. This season the grown ups get more of the storylines with affairs, business worries, alchoholism, divorce, attemtped murder and death.Not wanting to be out done, the kids get love triangles, a love child, drug dealing to name but a few.This season also introduces the Bait Shop, a bar that holds band nights which allows the show to bring in up and coming bands to try to widen the audience.The series finale is even better than the first.

I gave season one of the OC 5 stars because it had everything you could want in a tv drama/comedy series.I heard some people say Season 2 was a letdown because it wasn't as humorous as season 1.I think the dialogue was definitely as humorous (one of my favourite lines is when Julie comes into a room and Sandy turns around quickly and says : "You scared me - more than usual!").But the troubles with the Cohen marriage and the trouble between Seth,Summer and Zach grew a little tiresome at times (and was always going to be a letdown for viewers compared to the interaction between Seth,Summer and Anna in Season 1 which led to so many,amusing and touching scenarios).Also I think that in this season too many things happened too quickly which added to the humour but took away some plausibility.I also noticed that the visual appeal of Season 2 wasn't as great as in the first season (just think how bright but tasteful were the clothes that Anna wore,for example,and how even the Cohen's kitchen and even the weather seemed brighter).Season 2 also lacked the hooks that Season 1 had:in season 1 Ryan picks Marissa up from the ground at the front of her house after her friends have left her drunk and unconsciousout in the cold,and you wonder if he is going to get caught by someone and accused of robbing or attacking her when he is trying to help her.And you are constantly wondering if Ryan is going to be accepted into Newport society with so many people trying to stop this from happening.With Ryan no longer the underdog, much of the drama in season 2 was less subtle and less effective.

THIS SEASON WILL LEAVE YOU GASPING FOR MORE...BRILLIANT, FUNNY AND STYLISH, THIS SEASON IS A MUST BUY FOR ALL THE DIE HARD FANS OUT THERE.HAVING GROWN UP IN NEWPORT BEACH MYSELF, THE CHARACTERS AND STORYLINES ARE SUPRISINGLY TRUE TO REAL LIFE - OUR PARENTS MAY HAVE DRANK MORE THOUGH, IF THATS POSSIBLE ; )!!! BUT IT IS NICE TO SEE THE COHEN FAMILY SEEM MORE REAL - KIRSTEN FACES SOME TOUGH TIMES WHICH FORCES SANDY TO MAKE DIFFICULT DECISIONS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE DEVASTING RESULTS FOR THEIR FUTURE AS NEWPORTS GOLDEN COUPLE!! IT WILL LEAVE YOU WAITING IMPATIENTLY FOR SEASON 3 TO BE RELEASED.....

This season is in a way better, though the last few episodes i felt they didn't cover things enough and tried to squeeze a tad too much drama into each episode - like the car crash - over and done with in the beginning of the last episode without much coverage then it switches to something equally as dramatic. Don't get me wrong, i love the O.C and have from day one, but i feel the first season was better in the respect that the storyline was more constant and the drama too, this season was a bit sketchy in places...can;t wait til season 3!

Bought as gift they liked it

The OC season sees the whole gang return and trouble soon ensues. Unlike many other reviews for this dvd box set, I won't be ruining it by going into detail about the plot lines and major events throughout the season. All I will say is that season 2 is even better than season 1. Seeing as how season 1 was amazing, I'm sure that is reason enough to purchase this great US series. Please buy this now and lets start a campaign to bring back the OC to UK tv screens!

The oc the best thing on the box now on dvd boxset love it!I am a massive fan of the O.C, after season 1 brilliance, they have pulled it off again.Ryan and Marrisa the best couple ever.Also the writing of each episode and season is brilliant,with the introduction of Trey and his relationship with Ryan and Marrisa is pure class.I hope it never ends.Hope this was helpful.
