Review

After the demise of Beverly Hills, 90210, the boob tube was noticeably lacking in teenage trash. The geniuses at Fox decided to change that, and The O.C. was born. The basic premise is that a kid from the wrong side of the tracks (Benjamin McKenzie) moves in with a well-to-do Southern California family, bringing his juvenile record and a heap of trouble with him. He hooks up with girl-next-door Mischa Barton, angsty grimaces are exchanged, punches are thrown, and short-short skirts are donned at every turn. Of course there are the usual plotlines: love triangles, teenage pregnancies, drug overdoses, hot moms, stripper aunts, gay dads--oh, and lots and lots of teenage sex. Even the parents like to get it on in this steamy primetime soaper. And with all that California sun, even without any nudity there's enough skin to make Mr. Skin want to book a U-Haul and move to Orange County.
