    Is this the start of The OC's downward spiral?

    The two worst additions to the show: the Dean of Discipline and Taylor Townsend. This honestly feels like where the show took a downward spiral and never recovered. Why did the writers feel the need to make these characters and plot lines even more unrealistic (and campy)? In my devoted opinion: don't even bother watching seasons 3 and 4. It feels like a complete180 from the first two seasons. Seasons 1 and 2 were complicated, to say the least. But they were at least very lovely, more realistic, and not cheesy and campy. Such a disappointment because I'm such a huge fan of the show's original story lines.
