The second season of One Tree Hill was fantastic. Although not up to par with the first season quality wise, the second season is still ten times better than the other shows on television today. The season starts off a tad bit on the slow side, but no need to worry, because things get heated up real fast.

Nathan (James Lafferty) and Haley (Bethany Joy Lenz) announced in the season one finale that they got married, so now, the second season has them starting to deal with their marriage. Things don't exactly go as smoothly as they had planned. There are temptations along the line, as well as their dreams for the future which start to bring them apart from one another. Haley starts a musical career with Chris Keller (Tyler Hilton), a new guy in Tree Hill, and eventually, she leaves Tree Hill and Nathan to go on a concert tour across the US, leaving Nathan devistated.

The love triangle drama from last season between Lucas (Chad Michael Murray), Peyton (Hilarie Burton), and Brooke (Sophia Bush) has been solved, and all three are friends with one another. Brooke finds herself attracted to her new neighbor, Felix (Michael Copon), as the two eventually hook up. Felix's younger sister, Anna (Daniella Alonso) finds herself attracted to Lucas, but she has some secrets of her own to hide. Felix brings much of the drama to Tree Hill between the teens in the second season, by intimidating most people, and of course, the classic 'Dare Night' he arranges.

Peyton finds herself lonely, because last season, she felt herself romantically attracted to Jake (Bryan Greenberg), but problems with custody of his 6 month old daughter, Jenny, caused him to leave Tree Hill. Peyton finds herself in a dark place, but Jake returns with Jenny, as Jake and Peyton become romantically involved, only for Jake's ex, Nikki (Emanuelle Vaugier) to return, wanting Jenny for herself. Eventually, Jake is arrested for not giving custody, as Nikki kidnaps Jenny, leaving Tree Hill.

The adults of Tree Hill also deal with drama themselves this season. After Dan (Paul Johanssen) found his wife Deb (Barbara Alyn Woods) and his older brother Keith (Craig Scheffer) sleeping together, he was about to sign the divorce papers when he has a heart attack. He recovers, but Deb still remains with Dan, feeling sorry for him. To get back at Keith for sleeping with Deb, Dan hires Jules (Mia Menopolous) to make Keith fall in love with her, and then break his heart, just as Dan's had been when Keith slept with Deb. All happens, except Jules falls in love with Keith, as the revelations are brought forth, leaving both Keith and Jules heartbroken, and alone.

Karen (Moira Kelly) has gone back to college, enrolled in a business class, but finds herself falling in love with her professor, Andy. The two secretly date, but eventually Dan reveals their relationship to the class, leaving Karen extremely angry.

Deb has become addicted to painkillers this season, and is starting to spiral out of control with her life. Eventually she goes to rehab, and plans on leaving Tree Hill with Nathan.

But by the time the finale has come around, most of the characters have become infuriated with Dan for one reason or another, leading up to the explosive last five minutes, resulting in an attempted murder of Dan. Does he live? Or die? It's unknown at this point, or who even tried to kill him.

The second season of One Tree Hill is a must have for any fans, because the second season started to explore more into the characters, their relationships with one another, as well as their hopes and dreams. Much better than "just a teen soap", One Tree Hill is just so much better. It's for anyone, I'm a guy, which shows guys can like it too. It's not a girly soap opera, it's a show for everyone, even adults.

I highly recommend this, but be aware, it's highly addictive.

This season ROCKS. The group throws a wedding for Haley and Nathan. We are introduced to 2 new characters: Anna and Felix. Haley leaves Nathan to go on tour with the Wreckers. The music is AWESOME. "Unopened Letters to the World" was a great episode, and gave some new insight to what the individuals of the group are feeling. Brooke gets voted student-body president. Nathan crashes in a race car, and has to get surgery. "Lifetime Piling Up" was done real well. I'm glad they showed us what life would have been like, or what Nathan thinks it would have been like, if Dan had chosen Karen over Deb. The season finale was shocking! Dan in a fire, Peyton found her mother, and Haley is back? Overall, this season is a MUST for any OTH fan.

The second season of One Tree Hill picks up where all the drama, comedy, and romance of season one left off.

Does Dan survive? Are Nathan and Haley truly married? What will Tree Hill be like, since Keith and Lucas decided to leave? All these questions are answered, and the season then sets up and will have you asking a couple dozen more questions along the way.

Dramatic television series do have the tendency to fall off after the original season, but that was not the case, with season two of One Tree Hill. The twists, turns, and drama remains. Some of Tree Hill's residents have dramatically changed since the beginning of season one, while others have not. Can you tell which ones have changed and which ones are pretending?

There is something about One Tree Hill that is unlike anything else on television. In fact, there are several things unlike the rest of dramatic television today. The greatest shame is that a work of this high quality, with so many talented people on camera and off does not receive even greater recognition. One of the fantastic things about One Tree Hill is its dependence on music, to help tell the story. This is emphasized even further in season two, tying music further into the story-line. Finally, the performance in One Tree Hill are simply fantastic. You'll be hard-pressed to find overall work this great anywhere else on television.

Tree Hill sees several new residents during season two, and they make an impact on several lifelong residents. Impacts that might change people forever. If there is anything you should be warned about is that the questions you will have after watching season two will have you eager more than ever, for season three.

Bonus Features - The One Tree Hill DVD sets offer some of the best bonus features available today. There is commentary from the creator, on two episodes. Furthermore, Paul Johansson (aka Dan Scott) provides commentary on an episode he directed. Most episodes include extra scenes, and the final disk includes a feature on the new residents in Tree Hill, plus a feature about the music on One Tree Hill. The extras give you extra insight in this brilliant program, and they are sure to be appreciated by new and long-time One Tree Hill fans.

Overall, I received the season two DVD set just over three weeks ago, and I quickly watched the entire season during that time, to lead me up to the premiere of season three on television. Season 2 of One Tree Hill will provide you with over seventeen hours (23 episodes) of One Tree Hill saga. Grab a snack, blanket, and turn on the DVD player, for a night of One Tree Hill.

One Tree Hill is by far the best show on t.v. right now. It's a captivating, witty drama geared for teens but watched by all ages. Peyton is a artist brooding over the boy she loved, Jake, who had to flee town when his baby's daughter came to seek custody of her child. Peyton's best friend, Brooke, is your typical head cheerleader - rich, popular, and beautiful. Brooke, however, soons discovers that her seemlingly never-ending source of spending money has run out when her father's business went under. Brooke has cope with a life without luxuries and discovers her true self along the way. Haley dreams of being a musician, and her husband, Nathan, is nothing but supportive. He spends the little money they have on items to help her get a music career started. When an arrogant musician comes to town and tries to persuade Haley to go on tour with him, Nathan and Haley's marriage is thrown into turmoil. Lucas finds himself dating the new girl at school, Anna, who happens to be the sister of Felix, a boy who has his eyes on Brooke. When Lucas realizes he's dating Anna to try to supress his feelings for another girl, he has to decide what to do and when to do it. This show is very well written, and the plotlines are highly intriguing.

In addition to having the show on DVD, the special features that will be offered appear to be just as fantastic as the show itself. Mark Schwahn, the creator and writer of One Tree Hill, recently announced some of the special features for the season two dvd which include commentaries by Paul Johannson, Bryan Greenburg, and Mark Schwahn; a feature on the show's music including footage from the One Tree Hill tour; interviews with the guest stars on the show including Tyler Hilton and Lindsay McKeon, and quite a bit more.

I'd definitely recommend this dvd set to anyone; you won't regret it.

This season of One Tree Hill was absolutely fabulous. The season started out a little bit slow, with the characters adjusting to the new changes that the first season brought them, but it definitely started to progress at a fast rate and got to be so good. This show is now just some teen drama, it is a show for everyone. It not only deal with the teen's problems and dramas, but the parents and adults as well. It always deal with the teens interactions with their parents. I thought that they handled many controversal subjects very well in this season. There were many times when i was literally on the edge of my seat, just waiting to see what was going to happen next. I highly recommend this season to everyone, whether you have ever watched it or not, it is a highly entertaining show, with colorful characters and a cast of beautiful people.

I admit that I thoroughly enjoy this incredibly soapy melodrama, but this season was my least favorite. There's no basketball, newcomers Anna and Felix bring nothing to the table and have no chemistry with Lucas and Brooke, and the Haley on tour bit was ludicrous even as this show goes. Thank God for Jake and Peyton, by far the best part of this season.

I loved the second season of One Tree Hill when it was out on the WB. Then I decided I wanted to own the season. I bought it off of Amazon because it was cheaper then anywhere else. I was expecting more from the bonus materials, like having the main characters give a commentary on one of the episodes. I am happy with the setup and the quality of the DVD. I definitley recommend this to others who like 45 minute long dramas that have cliff hangers.

this was definitely worth the money. it helped me catch up again on One Tree Hill so I wouldn't be behind when season 3 came on. I am so glad I bought this

I loved the second season of One Tree Hill. If you have not seen it, i would highly recommend that you do. If you liked the first season of the show then you'll love the second season of this show. The cast does an amazing job at portraying these wonderful, colorful characters. The cast themselves aren't bad to look at. The show is more than jsut a show for teens. It deals with real issues, real bond, real relationships. It makes you seem like you've known these characters since they were little, like your right there with them. It has twists and turns taht will have you on the edge of your seat, guessing what will happen next and have your jaw on the floor at the end of each episode. Two thumbs up :).

When the show first came out I only watched it because Chad came out. As I started watching more and more of the show I started liking it more and now I can't wait for the new season to begin and to buy the second season on DVD. Honestly I liked the second season better then the first. I think that in the first season was basicaly the introduction of the characters and the second season was the development. I know some people didn't like the second season but in my opinion I don't think that because of Sophia and Chad's recent marriage had nothing to do with Lucas wanting to be with Brooke. In the first season Lucas had gotten to really know Brooke and knew that there was something more to her than just the party girl and I only think that he only wanted to be with Peyton just because she was with his brother Nathan. Peyton and Jake are an awsome couple, in the first and second season they really connected and I loved it when he came to her rescue and stoped her from taking drugs again. I really hope that in the new season Nathan and Halley work out their marriage problems since we now know that she is back on the show. I LOVED the season finale, I liked how Lucas finally told Brooke that he loved her and wanted to be with her. With Dan I don't think it was Nathan, or Lucas the one that tried to kill I really believe it was either Deb because she looked a little suspicious or it might be Keith who came back and is trying to get him back for what he did to him with Jewels. I recomend everyone to buy the second season on DVD and to keep watching OTH the new season.
