Nine seasons of pure joy. 187 episodes of life that everyone can relate to. Ever need something to watch when you're just browsing through Netflix? "One Tree Hill."
1. The Screenplay
It plays out just about every scenario of life and its pure genius how it all connects back to itself. There are twists and curves in every episode that keep you saying "just one more episode" and next thing you know, you're 4 hours in and everything has changed.
2. Haley James and Nathan Scott
The two characters that give you something to believe in. The two characters that are put through hell and high water but still manage to make it through. The two characters that are so in-love that nothing else matters.
3. Karen's Cafe
"Somebody told me that this is the place where everything's better and everything's safe." Karen's cafe is the place that can make you feel at home while you're watching from a TV screen. Such a loving, family place that anyone is welcome in.
4. Peyton Sawyer's Artwork
So pure and so honest. Usually the simplest of concepts and still gorgeous. The picture of Jenny while she is babysitting for Jake, breathtakingly beautiful. The comic strip of her growing up while her dad is always away on business, honest, real, full of pain. People Always Leave is one of my favorite things to look back on.
5. Brooke Davis
One of, if not, the strongest female leads to have ever acted. Brilliant, beautiful, brave and going to change the world one day. She isn't afraid to take on the world. Such an independent girl with large ambitions. Audience sees her grow more than any other character. She turns from this slutty, party girl into a classy, independent, intelligent woman. It amazing to watch happen.
6. Jimmy Edwards Shooting
You're able to feel the love radiating from this small town of Tree Hill when they rally together to mourn the loss of Jimmy and Keith. It's pain written so well that you feel as if you were a part of it that day in the hallway. You see the fear in Jimmy's eyes. You feel the pain that Peyton is feeling after being shot.
7. Tric
The only night club that you see on TV that you wish you could go to. The coolest bands, the hottest music, the fun you see the characters having. You want to jump right in and join in on the fun.
8. The River Court
Who knew that a piece of pavement, a basketball hoop, some cheap bleachers and a river could mean so much? The safe zone where they are able to go back and find their selves.
9. Gavin DeGraw
The opening song every episode, one of the best musicians of our time is played throughout the series. It's not the crap that people call music nowadays but its raw talent and lyrics.
10. There's only one Tree Hill.
"One Tree Hill" can completely transport you into a different mindset. It puts you right there with the characters while also making you think about your own life while you're going through it with the actors. Some TV shows are a complete bust but this one is definitely worth every minute of the running time. The show is so unlike any other.
