I think it's a ripoff of the OC except they made it raunchier and more tasteless. The OC is WAY better with much prettier actors. I dont like any of the actors on teh OC, especially that main girl with the big nose and wide mouth, ICK. The lifeguard seemed cute at first but the more I look at him the more I see a no-brains guy.
SG> I agree ✅
I don't care much for the OC, but it's MUCH better than North Shore. There was a thing on VH1 a couple weeks ago about "faux-C", shows that try to copy the OC. Funny stuff.
Anyways, it's a total ripoff of the OC, but with older people. Warm, sunny setting, attractive people, (they even used the same actress who played Kirsten's sister in the OC) similarly shallow characters, too much sappy "romance" and making out... Just they did a really, really crappy job of it.
