Come for the standard high school drama, stay until it goes completely off the rails! At first, One Tree Hill is a typical drama about two half-brothers, their family drama, and their friends growing up in a small town. After a few years, however, the show famously starts to escalate its drama past the usual soapy storylines and into absolute madness. It's the kind of show that makes you gasp but also makes it impossible to look away.

Blending early-2000s high school drama with a superhero origin story, Smallville covers the early years of Clark Kent, aka the Kryptonian refugee who will one day become Superman. When we first meet him, though, Clark is just a nerdy teenager in Smallville, pining after a girl he can't have and trying to unravel the mysteries of his past. As time goes on, the show becomes less about Clark's "normal" life and more of a true superhero show, but its earlier seasons strike more of a balance between the two.

It's one of the ultimate teen drama classics: the story of a group of friends who all attend a prestigious Beverly Hills high school.
