The O.C is an amazing sitcom because it shows not only superficial things related to money, like clothes, cars, among other, but also reality that is lived by people that live in less afortunate cities. In the beginning, it may seem that the sitcom is all about wealthy, gorgeous and perfect people, but that’s not was it’s all about since it also shows the reality that people from dangerous and poor cities have to go though. In fact, one of the main characters, Ryan is born in one of those poor, poluted and gloomy places. Of course, the program shows scenes where Marissa and Summer, the rich, hot and spoiled girls are bad-tempered and the only solution to that seems to be shopping at the most expensive stores, but it also shows poverty and violence like in episode 2 where Ryan, the poor guy goes back to the house where he was abandoned by his mother and have flashbacks of his stepfather hitting him while drunk when he was only 8 years old, or how in front of his eyes her mother was raped. Even in Newport Beach where they’re all rich and seem to have perfect lives  Sometimes, the rich get drunk or high which are things that aren’t expected from that high social class. Therefore, I think The O.C is an stunning show.
