Pop Autopsy
The O.C.
February 22, 2007
You could just hear the pitch meeting: A young, misunderstood hottie from the wrong side of the beach winds up living with his upscale lawyer and has to navigate the seemingly perfect (stress on "seemingly") lives of his new, rich friends. A west coast sort of "Dawson’s Creek." And we’ll call it "The O.C."
Originally its creator, Josh Schwartz, was hoping to bring a little more quirkiness and reality to his story, hiding a desire to throw in a little "Freaks and Geeks" when Fox wanted the next 90210. For a while, at least, the strategy seemed to succeed.
The unflappable O.C. followed the pattern set before it by so many lovely little teenage angst-fests. The focus was put on three wealthy families living in Newport Beach, Orange County, and the dirty secrets that the parents and children kept from one another.
