I have only watched The O.C. once, I binge watched the entire series all at once. Once Noah and I get through One Tree Hill, maybe we will start The O.C.! He'd love Ryan, and I'm due for a rewatch!
Most people I know watched The OC live as it aired, and they all say that Season 1 is their favourite season. I bingeing the entire show in a few weeks 10 years after it first aired, in 2013. Personally, I think S1 has way too many storylines and I had a very hard time appreciating it. I like how it sets up the TV show and the characters, but watching it, especially on a binge, felt like a roller coaster. My favourite season is S3, especially the latter half of the season. I really like where they took Marissa and I think Mischa did her best acting in this season. I was in a very unique position when I started watching the show in 2013, as I knew absolutely nothing about it and was totally spoiler-free. Unfortunately, sometimes while I was watching S2, I wanted to google the name of the actress playing Marissa to see in what else she had been in. I wanted to first Google 'Marissa Cooper actress name', and then Google the name of the actress and look at her Wiki or IMDB page. But turns out that when you start typing in 'Marissa Coo...' on Google, the predictive function quickly suggests you 'Marissa Cooper death' so I was spoiled of this major spoiler. Bummer!! I will never make this mistake again.
Those are very legitimate and common criticisms of season 1. It's interesting that Josh is very critical of season 3 in particular, although he does acknowledge the critiques of other seasons too.
Oh, no! I'm so sorry you were spoiled like that! There are definitely spoilers all over TDW, ha.
