DVD Reviews of The O.C.: The Complete Series
DVD Review: Beautiful box set for a fun show
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD set is a great package for any OC fan. Especially with the added bonuses such as season 1 being presented in widescreen format for the first time. Another great added feature is the season 4 blooper reel which shows that the cast still seemed to be having fun filming the show in season 4 that they had while filming season 1.
As for The OC as a show, it wasn't Shakespeare, but it was a great escape from the hectic lives we all lead. The stand-out performers from the series are Rachel Bilson (who made a smooth transition from making the character of Summer Roberts a b*tchy one-dimensional character to making her the most beloved characters of the series), Melinda Clarke (Julie Cooper could have easily have been just a standard antagonist, but Melinda Clarke made Julie a character you rooted for, even when she was doing less than good deeds), Adam Brody (who's portrayal of Seth Cohen defined the term 'geek-chic'), and a breath of fresh air was brought in season 4 by the delightful Autumn Reeser (took the character of Taylor Townsend from being the annoying girl in season 3 to the lovable and neurotic love interests of Ryan in season 4).
Season 1- The season that started it all. The show debuted in August and went from being 'The new 90210' to being a pop-culture phenomenon. The excellence of the first season might also have been the shows downfall since so much story was told in one season that the show sometimes had trouble finding material in further seasons. The only lowpoint of the season is the character of Oliver, but the show quickly recovered and finished off the rest of the first season in style.
Season 2- The show started off on a shaky note with the main core characters (Summer, Ryan, Seth and Marissa) not being together and functioning as the friends we fell in love with in season 1. The show suffered from something that many other shows suffer from as well, it tried to introduce too many new characters instead of focusing on the ones we loved in the first season. But the show came back together mid-way through season 2 and ended with an explosive finale. Highlights of the season include 'The Mallpisode' and Kelly Rowan's amazing portrayal of playing the perfect mom of Kirsten to slipping to alcohol abuse.
Season 3- The show kicked off it's third year tying up loose ends from the season 2 finale. It then quickly kicked in to high soap-opera style by milking the melodramatic and losing the humor that the show once had. Many see this season as the point in the series when people started to lose interests. The show was no longer the fun escapism that it once was because instead of forgeting about ones own problems they were instead forced to endure the many problems of the characters on the show. Most of these problems were brought on by the character of Marissa. Her character over the course of three seasons went through more problems and storylines then most other character go through over a 5+ season series run. The show finally seemed to be heading in the right direction in the final two episodes. The season finale ended on the most shocking cliffhanger the series ever had. The death of a major character. Highlight of the season is 'The Graduates' this episode ended our core characters high school life in perfect OC fashion and ended on a note that no viewers saw coming.
Season 4- The 4th season of the show brought The OC back to basics. It beautifully combined the drama and the humor the show did so well in season 1. In light of the tragic events of the season 3 finale they were able to bring the show back out of the dark hole they fell in to and had some fun once again. Summers change from the spoiled Newport girl to the activist animal-lover was a delight to see and Rachel Bilson portrayed this beautifully. Willa Holland and Autumn Reeser were both welcome additions to the cast bringing fun to the show in their potrayals of Kaitlin Cooper and Taylor Townsend. Melinda Clarke was a stand-out performer in the show's final season. Her portrayal of a grieving mother out for vengence was well done and her love triangle towards the end of the season was fun to witness. As the show wound down many wondered if they could end the show in the same style they began with, luckily, they did. The final episode perfectly wrapped up four years of one of the best teen dramas produced. The final few minutes of the series can only be described as perfect, because it wrapped up each character in a way that satisfied viewers. All in all, if you're going to end a series, you want to hope and pray you end it on a good note like the OC did. To be able to have their final year be just as good as the first is a great accomplishment that the show runners should be very proud of. Highlights of the final season are Summer's five-steps of grief scene, and the episodes, 'The Shake-Up' and 'The End is Not Near, It's Here.'
Over all, I've enjoyed watching this series and seeing it's progression over the years. While it had some episodes that were far less than perfect, for the most part it was always a show I could count on to entertain me. If you already own the previous seasons in their individual sets then this may not be a necessary buy, but if you don't own the series yet then I definitely reccomend it. An A+ set for such a delightful show.
