First Time Watching The OC
So I'm watching The OC for the first time ever, and although I'm very much in the beginning (still on ep 3 of S1), I do have some thoughts on what's happening and the characters, so I'll share them with you all.
Idk why, but it's annoying me a bit how Seth and Sandy basically just want to adopt Ryan after literally meeting him for what, 5 days? I kinda understand, Seth doesn't have friends, and Sandy sees himself in Ryan and wants to help him. Maybe it's a bit selfish, isn't it? Like, is he helping him only because he reminds him of himself? Idk, sounds kinda narcissistic.
Also, I don't blame Kirsten for being cautious. Like, I would not want a stranger in my house after my husband took him out of jail, and just pretend they are one big happy family. She is the only normal person in that show.
But what is really bugging me is how, in every scene, Ryan just has a sad puppy face and makes people feel bad for him, and I'm like, yes, you have a fucked-up family, etc., but no one forces you to steal a car or to hit on someone else's girlfriend (even if Luke is a douchebag). Like, I'm sorry, idk, he's just so annoying. It's a bit hard to feel sad for him.
Also, why does Marissa's mom look like her stepmom? And what is the problem with Luke shaving his chest? Was the early 2000s so backward that this was a taboo?
Finally, Seth is a bit annoying as well, because he is super privileged, and Marissa was right, he does think he is better than everyone else. He also just says the most random things ever; is he doing this on purpose, just for people to be angry and upset?????????? Like, I don't really blame people for not liking him. But idk, maybe he is autistic or on the spectrum. I must also say that his obsession with Summer is weird, and he sounds creepy.
Also, I think the character I hate the most is Sandy. Like, idk if it's just that I don't like the character, but I find the actor so annoying. He reminds me of Laurel Lance's dad from Arrow and Rufus from GG, and god, they just think they're better than anyone else and act like a morally superior god.
Anyway, still very early in the show, so I'll probably change my view later on, but I just wanted to share my initial thoughts. I'm also a bit stressed, so maybe that's why everyone is annoying me lol, but the show is really nice.
