 The Series Lost Its Way May 27, 2009
Randy Kadish (New York, NY)

Many people loved the 4th season. I was disappointed. I guess because of the crash in the ratings - partly because of Grey's Anatomy - the writers thought they had to take the series in a new, direction, and so they turned the series into a farce.
Let me back up a bit. I loved the start of the 4th season, the conflict of Ryan trying to find Volchok, but once Volchok turned himself in there was no central, compelling conflict to propel the action. Instead there was an endless parade of comedy, most of which I didn't think worked.
Again we were introduced to more unbelievable characters: Che and Bullit that made me groan.
Yes, it was nice to see Kaitlin and Taylor grow, but I still found Taylor somewhat annoying and unrealistic.
Sandy Cohen became more of a spectator than someone taking part in the action. I don't know why he wasn't given a stronger, dramatic storyline. For exammple, now that he was back in the Public Defender's office, why couldn't he have a new, compelling client, perhaps a young woman who shares a bond with Ryan?
I liked the way Summer and Julie evolved for the better.
Finally, I loved the way the series ended. (Yes, I had tears in my eyes.) Afterward, I listened to Josh Schwart'z commentary, and heard him say he was definately going for comedy in season 4. I suspect he forgot that one of the things that made the O.C. so addicting was the way it went back and forth from comedy to drama. Also, I rewatched the pilot. It was a compelling, dramatic episode that got the series off to a bang - viewers loved it and became addicted to the show - and yet the pilot wasn't that funny.
IMHO, what sunk the OC was a bad, first half of the 3rd season, where we were introduced to several unlikeable characters and unbelievable storylines.
I suspect is the writers of The OC never figured out where they lost their way.
Anyway, that's my two cents. It's certainly a lot easier criticizing a series than writing one.
Thanks Josh and everyone else who worked on the show for some great tv!

 The 4th Season to the O.C. February 3, 2009
Marissa Cooper
I'm very happy with this purchase! I've been looking everywhere for the 4th season and when I found it on Amazon I was completley happy. Not only about finding it but the price is wonderful as well!
Great Season November 28, 2008
Romance Drama Fan
The fourth season of The O.C. is fun, entertaining and enjoyable. It switches from a teen drama to a romantic comedy. Ryan and Taylor's romance is a fun and unexpected relationship as Ryan begins to date Taylor. It was a lot of fun watching this unexpected couple come together. It's a more relaxing, lighthearted season than the previous ones.

I purchased both of these for my son's birthday. I'm so glad my search lead me to Amazon. I paid about half price for each season. Unbelievable pricing. The service was excellent as well. Shop Amazon!
