90210: The Third Season

I really enjoyed this season. Tons of cool plotlines and twists, if your a fan of this show it will for sure keep you on the edge of your seat. Can't wait for season 4 to start!

The third season of 90210 is definitely the best so far as the show fully fell into a great pace. The show is a definite guilty pleasure. You have an attractive cast with basically light, entertaining plot lines. Many plot lines last just an episode or two but this year we also had some very entertaining twist turning plot lines that were ongoing all season. This basic premise works so well because the cast can really act. They take these varying plot lines and by making the characters so real and full of depth it all works. Also this season managed to show some extra superb acting. AnnaLynne McCord as Naomi worked magic with the rape story line. Her performance made the well written story rise even higher. Superb.

Everyone will have their favorite characters. For me I love Jessica Stroup as Silver and Michael Steger as Navid. To unite them as a couple made the show that much more of a treat for me. Of course we have the bad girl in Adrianna and the good girl in Annie. Both do their roles great justice. And the love triangle of Adrianna, Silver and Navid was indeed a highlight this season. The marriage of Ivy came out of an unexpected deep story line and gave the often overlooked Gillian Zinser a chance to shine in a very emotional plot development.

With 90210 you will be greatly entertained by people you wish were your friends. If you don't like a particular story line wait a few episodes for it may just be wrapped up. Highly recommend this show for its pure pleasure.

The best season so far and surprisingly good storyline's. Once again, the focus is on Naomi throughout the season (I don't care much for her). She deals with the aftermath of her rape and gets terrorized by Mr. Cannon, who by the way is a terrific actor! Then she falls in love with a GEEK, Max. Frankly, the Naomi/Max storyline was very unrealistic. It's so not Naomi to fall for a geek. The cliffhanger too is about Naomi/Max as she tells him that she's pregnant in the finale. Once again, boring! It's already done with Adrianna. Moving on, Silver and Navid out of all people got into a relationship and it turns out that Michael Steger and Jessica Stroup have good chemistry. Navid and Dixon get into the music business. This arc was cool and Michael/Tristan have good comic moments. The Silver/Navid arc also brought out a true problem these days which is underage girls in porn. Adrianna...well...Adrianna brings all the drama to the show. She falls from being a pop diva to a manipulative, lying and conniving person who goes all out to destroy Silver. The Silver/Ade rivalry is fun to watch. Dixon takes the backseat in the later part of the season and in the beginning he breaks up with Ivy. Nothing much here. Annie and Liam get it on this season. Annie gets it on with Liam's estranged brother as well. These two are great together. The finale sees Liam going off on a fishing boat for the summer and the two kiss. What made this season so great was Teddy's coming out storyline. Beautifully handled. Great acting by Trevor Donovan. SO realistic and common these days. Overall, despite the irritable Naomi, everything was pretty great this season.
PS: I know I missed Ivy but she is a pointless character who should have been cut from the show instead of Trevor (Teddy).
