One Tree Hill: The Complete First Season marks the beginning of a genuinely engrossing series that maintains, for a long while, an unusual focus on a single, powerful conflict defining the destinies of two characters. Adolescent half-brothers Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty) Scott have lived parallel lives in One Tree, North Carolina. They share a common father, Dan Scott (Paul Johansson), who has disregarded the existence of Lucas, his son by a one-time flame, Karen (Moira Kelly), whom he dumped years before to accept a basketball scholarship to college. While neglecting Lucas, Dan--whose hoop dreams never materialized--has spent his time almost perversely micro-managing every one of Nathan's moves on and off the court at his old high school, where the lad is currently an arrogant superstar under gruff-but-wise coach Whitey Durham (Barry Corbin). Nathan (whose mother is separated from Dan) is a child of privilege and has been raised to disregard teamwork, compromise, or the feelings of others. He regards Lucas, a basketball sensation on neighborhood playgrounds, as trash, and his own girlfriend, Peyton (Hilarie Burton), as a pretty bauble he can abuse and dismiss at will. Still, he's sympathetic; one can see glimpses of the human being struggling to emerge from under Dan's control. Meanwhile, Lucas helps Karen run her café, hangs out with platonic best friend Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz), and pines for Peyton (herself a punky misfit at heart). He also turns to surrogate dad Keith Scott (Craig Sheffer)--actually his uncle and Dan's older brother--for support, and sees himself as a perpetual and doomed outsider in One Tree. All that changes when Whitey invites Lucas to join the b-ball team that Nathan dominates, a move that challenges the status quo of multiple relationships in a small community. For about a third of its episodes, this series from creator Mark Schwahn (who wrote the hit film Coach Carter) stays true to the suspense surrounding Lucas's and Nathan's changes in fortune. Then a bit of padding follows to the end of the season; there are 22 episodes to fill out, after all. But even as various distractions (a kidnapping subplot, a car accident and coma for a major character) and random events creep in (Dan, rather incredibly, takes over the team from Whitey at one point, thus coaching both his sons), One Tree Hill remains highly watchable. The writing is shaped well and organic, while performances are consistently excellent. (It's especially good to see Sheffer, perhaps best known for A River Runs Through It, again.) --Tom Keogh

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) great season   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Overall, this was an amazing season (partly due to the great actors and actresses). It was filled with action, suspense, and a really surprising ending that even I didn't see coming.Five stars all the way :)

2) Nice legs ;)   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Bueno bueno! Tree hill ya estas en casa XDLo primero comentar que la review la haré en castellano, ya que el ingles no lo domino en modo hard level.Como todos los amantes de OTH sabréis, en España esta serie no tiene mucho exito y ahora mismo nos acaba de llegar la tercera temporada. Después de que un par de amigas me recomendaran la serie y viendo el buen precio de Amazon, no tuve ninguna duda a la hora de pillarmela.Si hablamos del dvd, podriamos hablar de una edición bastante decente. Como es norma en las series de la WB, los dvd son zona 1 y vienen con sus subtitulos en español correspondientes. A nivel de dvd, el único pero que le pondría es el granulado típico de ediciones con 4-5años.Sobre la serie, pues ya sabeis todos de que va y tampoco me voy a extender mucho. Sólo decir que ya me he pedido la segunda y tercera temporada, aprovechando la posición dominante del Euro. See you.

3) Just getting started...   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I caught a few episodes on TV and got hooked. So I bought all 3 seasons! I loved every second of every episode! And I even got my boyfriend hooked! He bought me the 4th season for Christmas this year :D

4) So addictive   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Damn my neighbour for suggesting this title. Why? Now I am hooked by all the misadventures of the Scott family and their friends and enemies. BTW I have marathon viewing 1TH until Season 3. Yes, the scenarios maybe overblown - aren't all the kids hyperactive. Luke has got time for a job, play ball and do well in school and be the Casanova of the block. Haley has time to be rock star, school nerd, cheerleader, wife, mom and top student with no sweat. Peyton, the sensitive arty one, can even become a club manager. I wish I have the time and energy like them... but hey even though unrealistic, 1TH is very addictive.

5) Efficiency in ordering, receiving and watching product   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I ordered this TV DVD which was handled with simplicity and efficency...I received this product even earlier then I thought....all the time I was being notified of the order I placed, when it was sent and a tracking number in case there were any problems I had to look into....I received the product attractively packaged. I always enjoy the DVD's of TV and Movies because they show behind the scenes....let you meet the characters of the show or movie and you get to meet the people who create, direct and produce the venture itself.
