Series Recommendation/Trailer: From the Listicle "10 TV Series You Simply Must Watch" #TheOC

Updated: Jan 24, 2022

Warning: This is the only link I could find to the original series trailer (by Fox), so I apologize for the low resolution/picture quality of the video.


The OC


The OC is one of my favorite series of ALL TIME!


It is one of the shows that influenced me the most, and actually helped build my character; it is part of who I became, and this statement is a testament to how powerful audiovisual productions are in our lives.


I was a teenager when I watched this early 2000’s cultural phenomenon for the very first time. I have the series’ DVD Box Set displayed in my home office and I rewatch it from time to time (specially when I am about to go to Southern California to visit my family members who live there).


The OC portrays Orange County in a very compelling way, the characters are very distinct and interesting, the story itself is very appealing and keeps you watching episode after episode simply because you must know what is going to happen next.


The idea seems simple: a rich Orange County community changes forever after a pariah from Chino becomes part of one of the rich families; however, the plot is richly developed with harmony, and cliffhangers are guaranteed (specially at the end of each season).


The soundtrack is as beautiful as Newport Beach, Rachel Bilson and Mischa Barton combined, and one of the great surprises of the series is the series finale. After the end of the third season we were all curious to see how the writers would continue the story, considering one of the main and audience-favorite characters dies in the last episode (season finale) of season three, but for our surprise they wrote a beautiful, interesting, and lovely series finale. It was great to see how that amazing story ended, but I must warn you: it feels like you just lost beloved family members, yes, this series is THAT compelling!


It is a series you can watch with your family and friends or you can just binge watch it (like I do). After no more than three episodes you are going to find yourself singing “California here we come, right back where we started from, Californiaaaaaaa”. Enjoy and welcome to the OC bitch!
