This post is long overdue, but I have finally caught all the way up with One Tree Hill. Over the past three months I have watched five full seasons, and the first nine episodes of season six.
Like any show with young-ish actors the first half of the first season is a bit of a small struggle, but well worth it. One Tree Hill has grabbed my heart and my stomach more than any show on television. The characters are great, the stories are also, and the use of music is fantastic. The antagonist, Dan Scott is so evil and yet so lovable, which only brings tremendously mixed emotions to many episodes. As a former basketball player, the running basketball theme of the show is a great added bonus. If you're currently a fan of Gossip Girl, and don't watch it solely for the comic relief of the outfits worn by Chuck and Blaire, you should do yourself a favor and watch One Tree Hill. When I sit and think about it, it is crazy that I now have a tough time deciding which is best teen drama of all time.
But of course, here are my rankings...
(gaps are used to show how much more I like each show)
1. Beverly Hills, 90210
2. One Tree Hill

3. The O.C.

5. 90210 (with upside)

6. Greek

7. Gossip Girl
Potential to jump in once i watch...
1. Veronica Mars
2. Party of Five
Please don't compare Veronica Mars and even Friday Night Lights with these teen soap, what a shame (although Greek is quite good for a teen drama).
ReplyDeleteVM and FNL are just on another lever (far far superior).
