You cannot discuss Season 1 without its music. Music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas ( Grey’s Anatomy , Twilight ) turned the show into a tastemaker. Every episode ended with a “montage” set to indie rock: Phantom Planet’s “California” (the theme song), Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah” (Ryan & Marissa’s sad goodbye), Joseph Arthur’s “In the Sun” (Seth sailing away), and South’s “Paint the Silence.” The show single-handedly boosted careers of bands like The Killers, Rooney, and Death Cab for Cutie.

• Ryan meets Seth, moves into the Cohen pool house.
• Ryan and Marissa’s attraction grows, despite her boyfriend Luke.
• Marissa’s parents separate due to Jimmy’s financial fraud.
• Seth pines for Summer.

The tragic beauty. Marissa’s Season 1 journey is a relentless spiral: parental divorce, the shooting of her boyfriend, alcohol abuse, and a suicide attempt. She is the show’s heartbreak engine. Her whispered "Ryan... help me" in the finale is seared into TV history. The OC: Season 1 Overview Puntos fuertes You
