dangermousie | The O. C. Does it stand for "Ogle Cuties?" (yeah, yeah, I couldn't come up with a better pun)

I started watching the pilot of The O.C., and why didn't anyone tellme about this before? It's totally frakking fun. It's an utter soap, but such an entertaining one. It reminds me of a much more upscale (and better acted, not that it's hard) One Tree Hill, and we all know how atrociously entertaining I find OTH. Basically, it fixes everything that annoyed me about Dawson's Creek: hot angsty guys? Check. Absence of pretentious, mile-a-minute-narcissist Dawson? Check. Soapy goodness of a plot? Check. No crazy cult wives? Check. (Though I haven't gotten to Marissa yet).

Plus, whoever plays Ryan is very hot. And full of angst. Kinda like a younger Russell Crowe. I like my men with testosterone. Heck, who am I kidding? I just like my men :P

So we shall see how it progresses.
