Worth Your Time: A Soap Opera that Appeals to Both Women and Men


One Tree Hill which first appeared as a teen melodrama in 2003 became a huge hit and still is today.

The television program which is aired on the CW network illustrates the interactions of a group of teens who are interconnected in their daily lives in a small North Carolina town.

The show is actually unique in the aspect that it first followed two half brothers competing in basketball and in love, giving men and women something new and intriguing to watch.

As the show progressed, the focus changed from light drama to full out backstabbing, scheming, love triangles, and even murder; typical of grimy drama fit for a soap opera.



Currently in its sixth season which premiered in September of 2008, One Tree Hill takes places about five years after graduating high school in the same small North Carolina town of Tree Hill. Though they have aged and learned more lessons in life, the group of friends still face drama in their lives; from a psycho nanny to tension on a semi-professional basketball court.

As the season continues, there are countless other dramatic story lines that keeps the show constantly going beyond reality leaving viewers hooked to show more than ever before. The drama picks up with new characters and relationships and there are some juicy moments that actually make the show solid.



Overall, the show can seem unrealistic with some of the outrageous plot lines; but for those who enjoy soap operas endlessly filled with drama this show will not fail to entertain.
