I thought Seth was the most beloved character, but I'm discovering here that's not the case at all. Many people don't like his personality. What don't you like about him?

What’s your most unpopular opinion about the show? I want the honest, no-filter answer.

La mia opinione impopolare è che tutti quelli dello show siano troppo bianchi e assomiglino troppo a modelli. Ora mi sembra così ovvio. Quando lo guardavo da bambino, non me ne accorgevo, ma guardandolo da adulto, tutti sono così bianchi e così convenzionalmente attraenti che sembra più un casting di un'agenzia di modelli che il cast di un programma TV.
Ad esempio, penso che One Tree Hill o Dawson’s Creek sembrassero molto più normali da quel punto di vista.
Inoltre, a volte mi sembra che lo show sia scritto quasi come una soap opera sudamericana. I colpi di scena sono molto banali: Julie che sta con Caleb, Marissa che muore, Oliver che minaccia di suicidarsi, Lindsay che è la figlia segreta di Caleb, ecc.
My unpopular opinion is that everyone on the show is way too white, and they all look way too much like models. It feels so obvious to me now. When I watched it as a kid, I didn’t notice it, but watching it as an adult, everyone is just so white and so conventionally attractive that it feels more like a modeling agency casting than the cast of a TV show.
For example, I think One Tree Hill or Dawson’s Creek felt much more normal from that point of view.
Also, sometimes I feel like the show is written almost like a South American soap opera. The plot twists are very basic: Julie getting with Caleb, Marissa dying, Oliver threatening suicide, Lindsay being Caleb’s secret daughter, etc.
Also I find the love triangle with Anna in the first season, so boring because it is so clear that he doesn't like her and she, her character, I don't know, is too flat in my opinion.
