Editorial Review:
High school is over. Time to move on. But events conspire to reunite Ryan, Seth and Summer in posh, seaside Newport. And there may even be a new Core Four. Because after Taylor Townsend says a quick if not passionate au revoir to her education in France, she just might pursue Ryan until he catches her. Time, too, for the series to move on with these 16 Final Episodes. Seth marries Summer? (Maybe.) Ryan goes through life like it's a steel-cage brawl? (Sometimes.) Kaitlin tries to hook up her mom Julie with a billionaire? (Well, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.) But things happen, sometimes quite unexpectedly. Time to hit the beach for all the surprising events of a cool, compelling and revealing conclusion of The O.C.

The O.C. - The Complete Fourth Season Reviews:
Poorly-written 
2009-11-16 - The fourth and final season opens with two very grim episodes showing the aftermath of Marissa's death. Then, however, it's hilarity all the way as romances bloom for young and old and the series concludes with happily-ever-afters for everyone.
In his commentary, the show's creator labeled this season "broad, romantic comedy," but for me, it was just ludicrous. The plot lines were dumber and crazier than anything in Seth's 'Atomic County' comic book. I think the writers knew the show was cancelled and decided to drop any pretense at serious drama and go for cartoon laughs. Taylor Townsend had no redeeming qualities, yet she became a leading character and love interest for Ryan, who lost his noble and heroic edge. Summer became a silly activist and acted like Seth's squabbling sibling. Julie became involved with a billionaire buffoon and Ryan's once-loathsome-now-good-guy father, and her suddenly-15-year old daughter Kaitlin went from unlikable delinquent to selfless daughter and true friend.
It's all too much and insulting to loyal fans who loved the show since it's wonderful first season. They should have stopped after Mischa Barton left; the show was pointless without her. There are only 16 episodes in this set and limited extras.
GREAT 
2009-11-09 - As always the cast does a wonderful job and each episode keeps your attention and breathless.
never got it
2009-10-27 - I paid $35.00 for international priority shipping but DHL in Peru
had the nerve to ask for over $50.00 in handling fees, which I refused
to pay, as USPS's receiver in Peru only charges $8.00 for that service.
Forth Season a Bummer?
2009-09-14 - I bought the first three seasons of The OC and was determined not to buy the forth one because I'd hated it when it was on TV. Well after watching the first 3 in rapid succession I just had to finish it up by viewing the last few episodes. They had killed off one of the lead characters and that's just not right! But you really should watch it all to the conclusion. At least it does have a conclusion... many series end abruptly with no closure at all.
The "extra material" is great throughout the four season set of DVD's and it's well worth purchasing for OC fans.
OC fourth season
2009-09-10 - I have all the OC's and they are great. After watching the third and the climax, I knew I had to get the final one. I received it on time and at a reasonable price. The ending made the whole season worthwhile. A must have movie.
