I enjoyed it, was a big improvement over S2

Alexa

My favorite season is 1 by a long shot. It was like, the show at its prime imo. I know people love season 3 and consider that the prime, and it was a great season but like season 1 was the OG season ya know. Season 3 was great though, idk why but the storylines and the character development was so detailed and it really felt like the writers cared and put thought into the storylines.

After season 1 and 3 I actually really loved 5, which I know is not a popular opinion but i liked the time jump and the LP angst. Could have done with Lindsey after 512 though... actually all the post 512 episodes were blah.

Seasons 2 and 4 were good as well, I think that season 2 gets a bad wrap but I enjoy a lot of stuff that happened there and it still felt like classic OTH to me. Season 4 imo had better storylines but there was something weird about it to me.

After that I would say season 9 and 7 were sort of equal. 9 was shorter but I really loved how it came together and some of the episodes. Season 7 however I think was probably a tad more cohesive and I did enjoy parts of it. Season 8 was just bad lol.

I think S2 gets the hate it deserves, lol

Alexa

I dont think so. For LP purposes I see why LP fans hated it. And it could have used more basketball but it had some great stoylines/episodes. It was way better than the later seasons.

I hated season 2 and didn't actually ship LP until season 5, so it's not that, imo, season 2 is just bad.

stlavin95

The lack of LP isn't the only reason I dislike S2 though and I thought most of the storylines fell flat to me

Alexa

How so? How is it bad? lol.

I can say those two things plus felix/anna. but otherwise i loved a lot of it. Loved the drama with Dan that season. Loved andy/karen a lot. I even liked BL even though I didnt ship them. Liked BP in the scenes they did have. NH I personally loved because they were too cheesey and boring before that. The last like 5 episodes of the season were great imo. I also really loved the ones before Haley left.

Will probably think of more when I rewatch S2 again, lol

• BL 2.0 and how little sense it made for Lucas to suddenly feel the way he did
  
• Jake/Peyton
  
• Felix
  
• The tour storyline (I get the point of it, but it was still pretty poorly handled)
  
• Dan being a cartoon villain
  
• The Lucas playing detective arc
  
• Peyton's drug storyline
  
• Jules arc
  
• How Anna is writing (she had potential imo, but unsurprisingly that got wasted)

Alexa

I liked the drug storyline, the jules storyline, the dan storyline, anna for the most part, lucas investigating, and the tour storyline lol. But hey, to each their own.

Dont think season 2 is universally hated by most fans though. I think thats reserved for season 8. I know a lot of people didnt like 4 or 5 either.

BlondieLeigh

I've come across very few people that liked season 2, tbh.

Alexa

guess we know different people

BlondieLeigh

Must do.

stlavin95

From what I've seen, it's mostly BL/JP fans who love season 2

If you had to pick one thing to change about each season, what you would pick?

fulfilledღ

Season 1: Triangle of Lucas/Brooke/Peyton

Season 2: Felix/Anna ever coming to Tree Hill
Season 3: Dan killing Keith
Season 4: Brooke/Peyton constant fighting
Season 5: Lindsay sticking around as long as she did.
Season 6: Alex Duprei (sp?)
Season 7: does everything count? Just a boring season
Season 8: The girls dressing up in those stupid super hero costumes
Season 9: Finally a great season again and we were only given 13 episodes, that's one thing I'd change, I guess.
