One Tree Hill: The Complete First Season marks the beginning of a genuinely engrossing series that maintains, for a long while, an unusual focus on a single, powerful conflict defining the destinies of two characters. Adolescent half-brothers Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan (James Lafferty) Scott have lived parallel lives in One Tree, North Carolina. They share a common father, Dan Scott (Paul Johansson), who has disregarded the existence of Lucas, his son by a one-time flame, Karen (Moira Kelly), whom he dumped years before to accept a basketball scholarship to college. While neglecting Lucas, Dan--whose hoop dreams never materialized--has spent his time almost perversely micro-managing every one of Nathan's moves on and off the court at his old high school, where the lad is currently an arrogant superstar under gruff-but-wise coach Whitey Durham (Barry Corbin). Nathan (whose mother is separated from Dan) is a child of privilege and has been raised to disregard teamwork, compromise, or the feelings of others. He regards Lucas, a basketball sensation on neighborhood playgrounds, as trash, and his own girlfriend, Peyton (Hilarie Burton), as a pretty bauble he can abuse and dismiss at will. Still, he's sympathetic; one can see glimpses of the human being struggling to emerge from under Dan's control. Meanwhile, Lucas helps Karen run her café, hangs out with platonic best friend Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz), and pines for Peyton (herself a punky misfit at heart). He also turns to surrogate dad Keith Scott (Craig Sheffer)--actually his uncle and Dan's older brother--for support, and sees himself as a perpetual and doomed outsider in One Tree. All that changes when Whitey invites Lucas to join the b-ball team that Nathan dominates, a move that challenges the status quo of multiple relationships in a small community. For about a third of its episodes, this series from creator Mark Schwahn (who wrote the hit film Coach Carter) stays true to the suspense surrounding Lucas's and Nathan's changes in fortune. Then a bit of padding follows to the end of the season; there are 22 episodes to fill out, after all. But even as various distractions (a kidnapping subplot, a car accident and coma for a major character) and random events creep in (Dan, rather incredibly, takes over the team from Whitey at one point, thus coaching both his sons), One Tree Hill remains highly watchable. The writing is shaped well and organic, while performances are consistently excellent. (It's especially good to see Sheffer, perhaps best known for A River Runs Through It, again.) --Tom Keogh

I bought this One Tree Hill season 1 as a gift for my friend for Christmas. It arrived right in time for our secret santa gift exchange. It was packaged neatly and definitely worth the price. And for future reference, you can't find it any cheaper on black Friday.
What a surprise! January 4, 2009

If you haven't seen this show before, you are in for a treat! I bought this on a whim right after Thanksgiving because I am a sucker for Black Friday deals. I liked Dawson's Creek growing up and thought this show would be similar, but it is SO MUCH better!!! The first couple of episodes are a little slow...but you will be hooked in no time! I've since bought seasons 2, 3 & 4 and can't stop watching. I highly recommend this for teens and adults alike! The adults in OTH are just as much involved as the teens so don't think of this as "just another teen show." Here is a summary without spoilers: One Tree Hill is a small town that thrives on high school basketball games. The star player has a half-brother that his father wishes was never born & it throws both of them off track when he joins the basketball team. One Tree Hill deals with topics such as drinking, pregnancy, rape, etc. I promise you won't be disappointed in your purchase, but beware: it is very, very addictive!!!

I bought seasons 1-3 a couple of summers ago on a whim; I was bored, and wanted a new show to watch. I'm not gonna lie, the first couple of episodes of season 1 are a little slow and glorify basketball, but it picks up. As for special features they're really cool; tons of deleted scenes, commentaries (with the creator & actors), and behind the scenes features. Visually the quality of the show gets significantly better as you get further into the show. 'One Tree Hill' has an awesome variety of music, and interesting storylines that I find are better than the average 'teen drama'. I'd definitely recommend this show, enjoy!

This was the best season of One Tree Hill. I am so glad I got it on DVD. If you are a One Tree Hill fan you should get this, it is worth the buy.
 A little slow, but it pays off later. September 16, 2008

This show starts out slow, but now that I have completed the 3rd season, I can tell you that it pays off later. I highly recommend this show to anyone that likes teen shows. But what I really like is the fact that the parents have a major role in this show too. It's good soap opera stuff...love triangles...secrets they learn about their parents..etc. One Tree Hill gets better and better after each season.
