That's just the first half of this year of The O.C., and we haven't even gotten to the adults yet. Both Sandy and Kirsten found themselves tempted away by more-than-willing suitors, and wicked Julie (Melinda Clarke), Marissa's mom, cheated on new husband Caleb (Alan Dale) with ex-husband Jimmy (Tate Donovan). An extremely tangled web was woven, one from which the show almost didn't recover: the Lindsay storyline started out strong but went nowhere, Sandy's ex-girlfriend (Kim Delaney) was a bit of a bore, and the same-sex relationship between Marissa and Alex never really gelled. All seemed like sure-fire character additions, but it was the later peripheral characters, including Billy Campbell as a magazine editor smitten with Kirsten and the menacing yet sexy Logan Marshall-Green as Ryan's ex-con brother, who injected The O.C. with energy, and helped steer the show back on course. Brody, who became the show's de facto poster boy, got to show off his comedic talents with the wonderful Bilson (who rode the Zach-Seth-Summer romantic triangle most smoothly), and the heretofore sullen McKenzie got to lighten up quite a bit, until the show's violent yet effective season finale.
Forsaking a good amount of its comedy for drama, The O.C. got a little too seriously soapy, but its characters were so compelling you couldn't stop watching--even waiflike Marissa grew some edges. Clarke's scheming Julie was a constant pleasure to watch, and Rowan turned Kirsten's late-season downturn into a steely yet heartfelt portrayal. Despite the bumps, The O.C. remained one of the most exciting shows to look forward to week after week, a soap with smarts thanks to its fresh dialogue, gifted cast, and careening plot arcs. --Mark Englehart

Customer Reviews of The O.C. - The Complete Second Season
More fun at the Cohen house Season 2 is just as good as season 1, if not better. After the season 1 cliffhanger, the season opens with Seth Cohen somewhere in Oregon, refusing to come home to boring and snootie Orange County, now that all the fun has gone - see down to earth Ryan leaving the OC to become a dad back in Chino. <

>The two boys gone, the girls, Marissa and Summer, waste away, one in anger (Summer), the other in pain and addiction (Marissa). To soothe the pain both girls get involved with other people and when the boys Seth and Ryan finally return, the plot thickens. It takes most of the season to sort the various love stories out and on the way we get treated to some very daring television in the Marissa story line and some very funny humor in the Seth/Summer saga. <

>The adults in the story are very entertaining too in this season, especially the diabolical Mrs Cooper, the character we all love to hate ;-)We also get to meet Ryan's older brother, that throws more than one spanner in the works and is very much involved in the obligatory end of season cliffhanger. <
>Waiting for season 2 to know how it all ends :-)
It delivers
I like the show a lot. But I think this season the creators were not as brave and creative as the Season One. Most of the time, there was an overkill in the relationships of the four kids. They are only 16 or something, and it seems they are never actually having fun with life, but only worry, cry, become hopeless and desperate all the time. Just not believable.

>However, the relationships of the grownups seem to be portrayed in a much more realistic aspect than how they were the season before.
<

<
>Still, gorgeous sets and people, nice dialogues, powerful balance between characters, awesome music, both funny and dramatic secenes at the same time... but all of these are also packaged in a nice little ambiance called Orange County.

>Good DVD in general.
Way beter than the first season
Season 2 is definately better. Of course the first season was still very good, this one has been the best yet.(Last season there was too much sex) There is a really good story line, especially near the end of the season with Trey. In my opinion, the best episode is "The Dearly Beloved". It was so sad, but really dramatic and very good. Another reason to purchase it is for the great music on every episode. Overall an awesome season and totally worth buying.
