Amazon.co.uk Review

Since its debut in 2003, US teen drama The OC captivated audiences with its fresh dialogue, clever wit, steamy storylines and the mesmerising power of Peter Gallagher's eyebrows! During its four-year run it became a trendsetting force in terms of popular fashion and music tastes among teenagers worldwide, and it will remain a series regarded with great affection by many of its audience. Following the trials and tribulations of a misfit collection of rich and glamourous residents of Newport Beach, California, The OC was at times witty, moving and downright bizarre, often in the same episode. Storylines were at times laughable, but somehow it still managed to carry it off, due perhaps to the acting ability of its ensemble cast. And when the show eventually came to an end, with just 16 episodes made in the final season, the finale encapsulated what many audiences already knew - that despite the show’s popularity and cultural impact, it never took itself too seriously.
For the first time, all four seasons are brought together in one box set, comprising 28 discs with every episode and some bonus extras such as unseen OC footage and The Atomic County comic. --Sally Giles


DVD Description

Season 1
When Ryan Atwood (Benjamin McKenzie), a tough, guarded, fiercely intelligent 16-year-old, plunges headlong into the wealthy, privileged community of Newport Beach, California, he soon discovers that the ruling families of Orange County are every bit as territorial as the tough crowd with which he ran on the streets of Chino. For Sandy Cohen (Peter Gallagher), the idealistic public defender who takes Ryan in; his wife, Kirsten (Kelly Rowan), the linchpin of OC society; their awkward adolescent son, Seth (Adam Brody); and the beautiful, troubled girl next door, Marissa Cooper (Mischa Barton)--Ryan's presence will forever change their lives.

Season 2
At the end of the first season, the Cohen household had been reduced to two--parents Sandy and Kirsten, as the boys had flown the coop, moody Ryan back to Chino and goofy Seth for the wide expanse of the Pacific (somehow ending up in Portland, Oregon). Once the prodigal sons returned home, thanks to a lot of persuading, both tried to mend relationships with their former girlfriends, Marissa and Summer (Rachel Bilson). While friendships were solidified, everyone was dating someone else: Seth was with sultry club manager Alex (Olivia Wilde), Summer with sensitive polo jock Zach (Michael Cassidy), Ryan with smart girl Lindsay (Shannon Lucio), and Marissa with her family's pool guy and a bottle of vodka. 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 from which the show almost didn't recover.

Season 3
In season three, Kirsten befriends a mysterious woman in rehab. Strapped for cash, Jimmy returns to Newport Beach and even tangles with Julie again--but he's in way over his head this time. After the shocking events at the end of her junior year of high school, Marissa finds herself in the role of a princess who has definitely been knocked off her pedestal, further straining her relationship with Ryan. With Marissa temporarily brought low, Summer's got some new competition for social chair. And although his marriage with Kirsten may be on the mend, Sandy may have to embark on a brand-new career as a result of the changes in Kirsten's life.

Season 4
High school seems like a distant memory to the young graduates at the centre of The OC, particularly because they have been thrust into adulthood after the death of their beloved friend Marissa Cooper. The Cohens struggle to keep Ryan focused on the future, fighting the forces that threaten to pull him back into his old life. Having left Orange County, Summer attends Brown University in Rhode Island, where she has reinvented herself as a left-leaning, tree-hugging activist. And, lonely in Orange County, Seth works at a local comic book store. Much has changed for the residents of Orange County, but in the end, the bonds between them will never be broken.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful packaging! Great show, too, 21 Sep 2008
By Geo Blorge "Actual Journalist" (East Morton, UK) - See all my reviews
  
Come on, people, where is your sense of fun? Critics around the world flock to shows like The Wire and The Sopranos, citing them as the only 'worthy' programmes on TV. Yes, they are exceedingly well made, but TV shows excel in different ways. The OC is funny, touching drama. It's easy to watch, but wickedly smart at the same time.

These four seasons ran between 2003-2007, and if you go back to the early episodes, you see that it's becoming a product of its time. For anyone who was at the apex of their youth during those years, it was essential viewing, even though storylines tended to repeat themselves and certain guest characters dragged the life out of it.

I get a little bit fazed by people who criticise shows like The OC, though. It's not really about grand, overarching storylines and a commentary on the changing state of capitalism - it's a witty show that centres on character, above plot. Accept this, and The OC is a great deal of fun for every one of these 92 episodes.

This boxset does the series an unusual amount of justice; really, I've never seen anything like it. Designed as a sort of scrapbook, with tons of stills and episode pics blazed across shiny, high-quality paper, the book is bound by a holographic hardcover, and slides into an epic plastic case. The discs are a part of the book, which is also very cool. It's the best-looking TV boxset ever, by quite some way.

Throw in an introduction by creator Josh Schwartz, as well as a nostalgic conversation between him and Executive Producer Stephanie Savage, and the passionate conception of this boxset is undeniable. WB have chucked in all of the extras from the US releases, too (aside from having season 1 in Widescreen. Balls), so it really does feel like the complete OC experience.

I could babble about the show, but I may as well leave it to you. Putting in simple terms, however, I have watched a great deal of TV shows in my life - we're talking hundreds, here. In all of those hours of viewing, though, I've never gotten as attached to characters as I did with Ryan, Seth, Summer, Marissa, Sandy, Kirsten, Julie, Jimmy, Taylor and Kaitlin.

Maybe that's just my age talking, or maybe it's because the show is far more than a frivolous teen drama, as everyone always assumes.

Just buy the boxset, and find out yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG!!!! Fantastic a definate recommendation, 29 Nov 2008
By M. Saramandif "Saramandif" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Seriously! This was the most amazing DVD boxset (or bookset) that I have ever come across. Months of seaching for a DVD boxset that will incude all the seasons ever made was bulky and expensive. Having all the seasons in a few CDS and with a book to go with it was amazing. I would definately recommend this to anyone who loves the OC as much as I do.
