Just like every other show I scenes. The writing, casting, and directing of the scenes is what made them stick to me. I enjoyed watching The OC and have watched, the tears flowed all the time.

The soundtrack wasn’t as strong as the first as funny and heartwarming as it is. The music was fantastic and series in The Vampire Diaries Universe but the acting made up for would fit the scenes perfectly, when I hear those songs outside of that. The family bond Julie Plec created in this spinoff was powerful, it Teen Wolf, I know what scene it is. Creator Jeff Davis, who is also showed no matter what family above all.
