One Tree Hill: The Complete Second Season finds life in an uproar for virtually every major and minor character in the WB series set in One Tree, North Carolina. Basketball sensation Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray), illegitimate son of One Tree Hill's resident J.R.-like figure, car dealer, and all-around monster Dan Scott (Paul Johansson), has left town with his Uncle Keith (Craig Sheffer) to start a new life. (Keith himself has split One Tree to nurse a broken heart after his marriage proposal to Lucas's mom, Karen, played by Moira Kelly, was rejected.) It's not long, however, before Lucas has second thoughts, prompted in part by Dan's recent heart attack and the mess he (Lucas) left behind with two girls, Peyton (Hilarie Burton) and Brooke (Sophia Bush). Meanwhile, Lucas's half-brother, Nathan (James Lafferty), has married the former's lifelong best friend, Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz), a union approved by the bride's parents but not by Nathan's mother, Deb (Barbara Alyn Woods). (It should be mentioned that Nathan and Haley, as with nearly every other young person on this show, are not yet high school seniors. They only look much older.) All that's just the first couple of episodes of season 2. In the remaining 21, Dan temporarily fools everyone into believing he's a changed man following his cardiac crisis. In fact, he's worse than ever, trying to wreck Nathan and Haley's marriage, attempting to buy Lucas's loyalties, driving Deb into a drug-addicted stupor, pulling the rug out from beneath Keith (who took over Dan's dealership during the latter's illness), and waging a war, of sorts, with basketball coach Whitey (Barry Corbin) for influence over Nathan's destiny. While all this is going on, Haley leaves Nathan to join a music group, Peyton finds success running an all-ages night at a new club opened by Karen, Lucas finds evidence that Dan is cheating the IRS, Brooke's once-wealthy parents go broke, and actress Sheryl Lee (Twin Peaks) turns up toward season's end playing a mysterious visitor with a surprising connection to a major character's past. Whew. If One Tree Hill's first season succeeded in part because series creator Mark Schwahn kept, for a while, a tight focus on the early, rocky relationship between Nathan and Lucas, the second season works as a frenetic, ensemble drama with elements of camp and absurdity. The above-mentioned reference to Dallas villain J.R. Ewing proves apt in more ways than one. The final episode of One Tree Hill's sophomore season ends with its own, not-so-subtle variation on the classic who-shot-J.R. cliffhanger, leaving open to debate which of many possible One Tree candidates might have committed a foul (if understandable) bit of vengeance against a certain bad dude one loves to hate. --Tom Keogh

This is a season you can not miss. Episodes full of suspense, mystery, wit, humour and everything else. You will see that the characters of One Tree Hill have changed a little bit in the sens that they do things...a bit out of the ordinary. So many storie lines that just keep you guessing until the end and just when you think that you have the story figured out, it takes you by surprise. This DVD is one of the best mostly because of the story line, the very different characters whos emotions clash when put together. The music is also a big part of the show and it relates to the story very well. It's filled with inspiering quotes and tastefull humour. The season final ends with some heartache, a lot of mystery, many suspects to a crime, the return of a loved one as well as the departure of another. It is an unbelievable cliff hanger. So many questions, so many possibilites, a lot of emotion and tension but just before you have the answers, it ends. Something you could watch over and over again and never, ever get bored. Absolutly wonderfull!!!!!

Okay so the second season started off great, hit a low, and then totally redeemed itself in the latter part of the year.
An avid fan of the first season in which the basketball games seem to reflect the struggles the characters were having in their personal lives (plus you get to see the boys run around in those cute uniforms showing off their talents), I was a little disappointed that there was no basketball in the second season.
However, there were no shortages of heartache, inner battles, thoughtful quotes used by dead writers, and fantastic music that brought the viewer right into the realm of the character's journey.This season the writer's brought in some interesting characters (interesting is not neccessarily a good thing)such as Anna and Felix. Although their storyline should have been good, the actors just didn't pull it off for me. Their pain did not match that of the seasoned actors such as Chad Micheal Murray and Bethany Joie Lenz and therefore I didn't really care for them or what happened to them. Perhaps the best thing about the second season is the fact that Nathan and Haley's marraige fell apart. You get married at seventeen, unless you live in some time warp in the fifties, it's just not going to work. I'm glad the writer's didn't make it into a fairytale. Although I am a big fan of Haley and Nathan's relationship, it was a nice change to see how they manage without each other, particularly Nathan. James Lafferty did such an awesome job I really think he is the big star of the show, not Chad Michael Murray. Another interesting thing to watch was Dan and Lucas and Karen's relationship. When Lucas made the decision to move in with Dan it was like "what the --" but after learning of his heart condition it becomes apparent. All in all though, Lucas didn't have that much of a role in the second season which may be disappointing to Chad Micheal Murray fans. Peyton and Brooke's relationship is also a cute one to watch. It sets a good example for girls in high school to stand up for themselves but more importantly stand up and stand by each other. It was also nice to see Jake's return, although that story is a bit out there. Best things about season two: -The music - the music producers on this show are the real heroes of the show. They pick songs that would not really be on the radio but makes the viewer get goosebumps if played at the right time. Some songs to look forward to are "Sucker" by Damien Jurado. And "Like a Man Possessed" by the Get up Kids. Both of these were played in the episode where Nathan crashes. Some episodes to look forward to: Unopened Letters to the World - Anna was actually quite moving in this one, and so was Nathan.
Lifetime Piling Up - while in a coma Nathan dreams of him and Lucas switching places. Season Two's finale is one of the best season's finale I have seen in a long time. There is sex and love and loss and pain and behind it all, the evil Dan Scott. (Paul Johansson does an awesome job playing the bad guy. I love to hate him, and he's so funny and really good looking for an older dude too!) It leaves you sitting on the edge of your chair and now the fun is figuring who and how many people set up Dan. Overall, this dvd is definately a collector's item. Please buy it and support One Tree Hill. It is one of the best shows on tv right now.
