As promised I’m going to talk about my favourite show: One Tree Hill. One Tree Hill is an American young adult television drama created by Mark Schwahn. The Show premiered in the US in 2003 but wasn’t broadcasted in Belgium until 2006. At that time I was about 16 going on 17 and struggling with some huge issues. Because of the show’s main themes such as friendship, love, family, drama (of course) and especially because of the good music, I was immediately hooked on the show. I have seen every episode of every season (7 in total) and I watch the new episodes weekly.
These are the show’s 5 main characters:
James Lafferty plays Nathan Scott
Chad Michael Murray plays Lucas Scott
Hilarie Burton plays Peyton Sawyer
Bethany Joy Galeotti plays Haley James
Sophia Bush plays Brooke Davis
There are a lot of other characters but I’m not going to tell you everything, because that would ruin it for you if you would like to begin to watch the show. And after 7 seasons, things got really complicated. And when I say really, I mean REALLY complicated.
The first four seasons of the show focus on the characters' high school years. With the beginning of the fifth season, the timeline goes four years ahead, showing their lives after college. In the seventh season, the timeline was adjusted one year into the future after the sixth season.
Like I said: music plays a significant part in the plot and the movement of the scenes throughout an episode. Schwahn has revealed that each episode title is named after a particular song that has something in common with the theme of the episode. For example, episode 1.02 "The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" is named after a Dashboard Confessional song of the same name. In this episode, Lucas realizes that basketball, which had once been his safe place, is now the place that he has come to fear the most after joining the Ravens. & Did you know that One Tree Hill made history by having Led Zeppelin's song "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You" in its Season 3 finale? Led Zeppelin has never licensed their songs on network TV (the only other time was on HBO's cable series The Sopranos). One Tree Hill is the first non-cable network television series to ever have a licensed Led Zeppelin song on their show.
So hooray for One Tree Hill!
