One Tree Hill is a show that almost anyone can relate to. There's Nathan Scott: the high school basketball, and later NBA, player who feels constant rejection from his father, Brooke Davis: the promiscuous and outgoing high school class president who later becomes the owner of a multi-million dollar clothing line, Haley James Scott: the tutor girl who falls for the star basketball player and later ends up a famous singer, Lucas Scott: the writer, the romantic, and the athlete who was abandoned by his father, and then there's Peyton Sawyer: the rebellious cheerleader who later marries her high school love and opens her own record label. Although you may feel as though you can't directly relate to any of these characters, throughout the series they teach us so much about life. One Tree Hill teaches us about love, loss, friendship, and the struggle of staying true to yourself which are story lines that we can all relate to. Although this show has so many heart warming episodes that give us all a little hope, there are still so many times One Tree Hill has broken our hearts which include:
1. When Dan Scott kills his brother Keith
2. When psycho Derek holds Peyton hostage on prom night
3. The car crash after Nathan and Haley's wedding
4. When Nathan becomes depressed and shuts Haley out
5. When Nanny Carrie kisses Nathan
6. When pregnant Peyton collapses after her and Lucas's wedding
7. When Haley loses her mom and becomes depressed
8. When Quinn and Clay get shot and Clay wont wake up
9. When Brooke and Jamie get caught in the storm and Julian finds them
10. When Nathan is kidnapped and Haley has to identify a body
Still, despite the many, many times that One Tree Hill has broken our hearts, we continue to binge watch it on Netlfix more than any other series.
Because after all..
