Editorial Review:
Even viewers who consider themselves beyond their teen-angst years might find Dawson's Creek compelling watching. For years Dawson (James Van Der Beek) and Joey (Katie Holmes) have watched movies and slept in the same bed, but they find that as they enter high school their relationship will inevitably change. That becomes especially clear when Dawson is immediately attracted to Capeside, Massachusetts's sexy new arrival, Jen (Michelle Williams). Meanwhile, their friend Pacey (Joshua Jackson) pursues an unachievable love object.
Creator Kevin Williamson based Dawson's Creek on his own youth, and sure, the characters may not really look or sound 15, but the Dawson-Joey-Jen interplay--especially embodied by the sad-eyed and cynical (but still adorable) Joey and the smart but emotionally inept Dawson--gives the show its heart. And just like Williamson's fresh take on the teen-horror genre, Scream, Dawson's Creek has a winking self-awareness, for example when Dawson says they're having a "90210 moment" or explains that they use big words because they watch too many movies. Highlights of the first season include Dawson's discovery that his perfect home life may not be so perfect, an unwelcome reminder of Jen's past, the Breakfast Club takeoff "Detention," the Scream takeoff "The Scare," a beauty contest in which two unlikely competitors square off, and the heart-rending finale.
On the DVDs, Williamson and producer Paul Stubin have a commentary track for both the pilot episode and the last episode, in which they offer parallels between the two "bookends," notes on the locations, vast praise for their cast and affection for the show, and a few spoilers regarding subsequent seasons. Williamson and Stubin also do all the talking in an 8-minute featurette "From Day One," while Van Der Beek, Holmes, Jackson, and (briefly) Williams discuss their characters in the 7-minute "Season One Time Capsule," recorded back when the series premiered. On the downside, picture quality is sometimes quite grainy, perhaps because all 13 episodes plus bonuses are squeezed onto three discs. --David Horiuchi
Kevin Williamson (the Scream movie series I Know What You Did Last Summer) created this engaging drama which chronicles a group of young friends' passage from adolescence to young adulthood in the small coastal town of Capeside Massachusetts. Based on Williamson's own experiences growing up "Dawson's Creek" focuses on fifteen-year-olds Dawson (James Van Der Beek) and Joey (Katie Holmes) who have been friends since they were five and are trying to cope with the way their friendship is changing now that their hormones are raging. Add to the mix their friend Pacey (Joshua Jackson) and the new girl in town Jen (Michelle Williams) and you can count on extra twists to the drama in their already turbulent lives.Filmed on location in Wilmington Durham and Raleigh North Carolina this first season marks the beginning of an unforgettable journey that explores the agony and the ecstasy of teenage life. Can the kids of "Dawson's Creek" really grow up without growing apart?

Rating:  - IT DOES NOT HAVE 2 EPISODE
Nice drama.. I like it much.. But why inside the DVD disc that I bought it does not have the episode called BOYFRIEND and THE ROADTRIPS.. So I missed that parts.. hiks.. WHY?
Rating:  - Great!
It took a little longer to arrive than I would like...but that's probably just because I'm impatient. The DVD's were in perfect condition! I would definitely recommend buying something from this person!
Rating:  - Wordy and depressing teens.
Dawson's Creek - The Complete First Season had me swooning over the friendship and future relationship of Dawson and Joey. I admit this show gets on my nerves every now and then but this teen soap is quite engaging. Seasons 1 and 2 are my favorite of the six-year series. Good show but highly overblown, have fun with this guilty pleasure!
Rating: - Awesome 90's Show
I remember watching this when I was a kid. The series is a must own for me. But you might want to check Walmart before buying it on here. I got all six seasons for 15 a piece there. Great show.
Rating: - Amazing!
Dawson's Creek is by far the best series ever! I love watching old series over again and Dawson's Creek was the first one that I had to buy all the season's at once after watching the first one. I will admit though that season one is the best and season two is just as great. After that though it starts to get better and better. There is still that element there that keeps you tied in to it. The main one is who will Joey pick? That is one question that goes on through out. It is the fact that the ... Read More
