"The second season of One Tree Hill was fantastic. Although not up to par with the first season quality wise, the second season is still ten times better than the other shows on television today. The season starts off a tad bit on the slow side, but no need to worry, because things get heated up real fast.

Nathan (James Lafferty) and Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz) announced in the season one finale that they got married, so now, the second season has them starting to deal with their marriage. Things don't exactly go as smoothly as they had planned. There are temptations along the line, as well as their dreams for the future which start to bring them apart from one another. Haley starts a musical career with Chris Keller (Tyler Hilton), a new guy in Tree Hill, and eventually, she leaves Tree Hill and Nathan to go on a concert tour across the US, leaving Nathan devistated.

The love triangle drama from last season between Lucas (Chad Michael Murray), Peyton (Hilarie Burton), and Brooke (Sophia Bush) has been solved, and all three are friends with one another. Brooke finds herself attracted to her new neighbor, Felix (Michael Copon), as the two eventually hook up. Felix's younger sister, Anna (Daniella Alonso) finds herself attracted to Lucas, but she has some secrets of her own to hide. Felix brings much of the drama to Tree Hill between the teens in the second season, by intimidating most people, and of course, the classic 'Dare Night' he arranges.

Peyton finds herself lonely, because last season, she felt herself romantically attracted to Jake (Bryan Greenberg), but problems with custody of his 6 month old daughter, Jenny, caused him to leave Tree Hill. Peyton finds herself in a dark place, but Jake returns with Jenny, as Jake and Peyton become romantically involved, only for Jake's ex, Nikki (Emanuelle Vaugier) to return, wanting Jenny for herself. Eventually, Jake is arrested for not giving custody, as Nikki kidnaps Jenny, leaving Tree Hill.

The adults of Tree Hill also deal with drama themselves this season. After Dan (Paul Johanssen) found his wife Deb (Barbara Alyn Woods) and his older brother Keith (Craig Scheffer) sleeping together, he was about to sign the divorce papers when he has a heart attack. He recovers, but Deb still remains with Dan, feeling sorry for him. To get back at Keith for sleeping with Deb, Dan hires Jules (Mia Menopolous) to make Keith fall in love with her, and then break his heart, just as Dan's had been when Keith slept with Deb. All happens, except Jules falls in love with Keith, as the revelations are brought forth, leaving both Keith and Jules heartbroken, and alone.

Karen (Moira Kelly) has gone back to college, enrolled in a business class, but finds herself falling in love with her professor, Andy. The two secretly date, but eventually Dan reveals their relationship to the class, leaving Karen extremely angry.

Deb has become addicted to painkillers this season, and is starting to spiral out of control with her life. Eventually she goes to rehab, and plans on leaving Tree Hill with Nathan.

But by the time the finale has come around, most of the characters have become infuriated with Dan for one reason or another, leading up to the explosive last five minutes, resulting in an attempted murder of Dan. Does he live? Or die? It's unknown at this point, or who even tried to kill him.

The second season of One Tree Hill is a must have for any fans, because the second season started to explore more into the characters, their relationships with one another, as well as their hopes and dreams. Much better than "just a teen soap", One Tree Hill is just so much better. It's for anyone, I'm a guy, which shows guys can like it too. It's not a girly soap opera, it's a show for everyone, even adults.

I highly recommend this, but be aware, it's highly addictive."

Season 2 - Best all around.

"This season ROCKS. The group throws a wedding for Haley and Nathan. We are introduced to 2 new characters: Anna and Felix. Haley leaves Nathan to go on tour with the Wreckers. The music is AWESOME. "Unopened Letters to the World" was a great episode, and gave some new insight to what the individuals of the group are feeling. Brooke gets voted student-body president. Nathan crashes in a race car, and has to get surgery. "Lifetime Piling Up" was done real well. I'm glad they showed us what life would have been like, or what Nathan thinks it would have been like, if Dan had chosen Karen over Deb. The season finale was shocking! Dan in a fire, Peyton found her mother, and Haley is back? Overall, this season is a MUST for any OTH fan."

Great show, great bonus features!

"One Tree Hill is by far the best show on t.v. right now. It's a captivating, witty drama geared for teens but watched by all ages. Peyton is a artist brooding over the boy she loved, Jake, who had to flee town when his baby's daughter came to seek custody of her child. Peyton's best friend, Brooke, is your typical head cheerleader - rich, popular, and beautiful. Brooke, however, soons discovers that her seemlingly never-ending source of spending money has run out when her father's business went under. Brooke has cope with a life without luxuries and discovers her true self along the way. Haley dreams of being a musician, and her husband, Nathan, is nothing but supportive. He spends the little money they have on items to help her get a music career started. When an arrogant musician comes to town and tries to persuade Haley to go on tour with him, Nathan and Haley's marriage is thrown into turmoil. Lucas finds himself dating the new girl at school, Anna, who happens to be the sister of Felix, a boy who has his eyes on Brooke. When Lucas realizes he's dating Anna to try to supress his feelings for another girl, he has to decide what to do and when to do it. This show is very well written, and the plotlines are highly intriguing.

In addition to having the show on DVD, the special features that will be offered appear to be just as fantastic as the show itself. Mark Schwahn, the creator and writer of One Tree Hill, recently announced some of the special features for the season two dvd which include commentaries by Paul Johannson, Bryan Greenburg, and Mark Schwahn; a feature on the show's music including footage from the One Tree Hill tour; interviews with the guest stars on the show including Tyler Hilton and Lindsay McKeon, and quite a bit more.

I'd definitely recommend this dvd set to anyone; you won't regret it."

FABULOUS!

"This season of One Tree Hill was absolutely fabulous. The season started out a little bit slow, with the characters adjusting to the new changes that the first season brought them, but it definitely started to progress at a fast rate and got to be so good. This show is now just some teen drama, it is a show for everyone. It not only deal with the teen's problems and dramas, but the parents and adults as well. It always deal with the teens interactions with their parents. I thought that they handled many controversal subjects very well in this season. There were many times when i was literally on the edge of my seat, just waiting to see what was going to happen next. I highly recommend this season to everyone, whether you have ever watched it or not, it is a highly entertaining show, with colorful characters and a cast of beautiful people."
