hot!!! noe tree hill coming...... : Movie Stars

[lisalin]

When I first heard about One Tree Hill, I thought it'd just be a nice replacement for Dawson's Creek (RIP, m'dear), which I'd always enjoyed, so I gave OTH a shot. And it started off pretty well- okay, the characters were a little generic, and the storylines all felt a little 'been there, done that', but only because shows like Dawson's Creek and Roswell had cornered the teen drama genre so well already. Honestly, at first the thing I enjoyed most was the basketball- the games were really exciting, and drew me into the show.

But as the series progressed, it started tackling bigger issues than most teen dramas will pit themselves against; broken homes, severe depression and self-harm, drug abuse, teen parents, expectations of self up against expectations of others- it's not just teen problems and melodrama, and a token 'uh oh, lookit all the angst!' as something awful happens to prompt a character into a self-absorbed spiel on life in this awful world; something Dawson's Creek was guilty of quite frequently. I think it was characters like Whitey and Keith who kept it grounded, actually, throughout the angst.
