Dawson Leery, Pacey Witter und Josephine 'Joey' Potter sind seit ihrer Kindheit miteinander befreundet und leben in der Provinzstadt Capeside, unweit von Boston. Ihr eher ruhiges Leben wird plötzlich durcheinander gebracht, als neben Dawson das taffe Großstadtmädchen Jennifer 'Jen' Lindley einzieht. Jen hatte es in New York zu bunt getrieben und wurde von ihren Eltern aufs Land zur Großmutter geschickt, in der Hoffnung, sie würde sich wieder fangen. Zwar gefällt ihr Capeside nicht, sie freundet sich aber schnell mit Joey, Dawson und Pacey an und besucht mit ihnen zusammen die High School. (one - ARD)

Probably the most underrated series I know and one of my favorites of all time. The first four seasons of the adventures of the Capeside gang will probably stay with me for the rest of my life. I often come across the opinion that "it started off well, but then it just wasn't the same". I see it differently; each season has its own energy. While the first season is more about exploring and testing the waters, the second and third seasons are the clear peak of the show's development, where emotions run deeper and relationships become more complex, especially in the third season where the conflict between the two best friends reaches its climax. The fourth season brings everyone to graduation and, most importantly, to emotional maturity, in a completely believable way. And here's where the problem arises. At that moment, when Joey and Dawson are standing together by the open window and life outside their small town is calling, that should have been the end, and that's where they could have written "five years later" and come up with a final two-part episode. Unfortunately, the creators let the characters deal with their relationships in their own unique way, even all the way in Boston, and in so doing somewhat ruined Dawson's Creek. A lot of unremarkable supporting characters (who tend to unexpectedly and irreversibly disappear), dull repetition of previous plotlines, and disgustingly frequent changing of partners by the main characters – that's a brief description of the fifth and sixth seasons. There are very few moments that can save these two seasons from lethargy (the funeral and a series of sad memories in the fifth season, and the amazing episode with Pacey and Joey spending the night in a supermarket in the sixth), and it was teetering on the edge of disaster. Fortunately, the saving grace of the show came with bringing back the forgotten Kevin Williamson for the series finale. He created a two-part episode that is unforgettable, one that follows up on the best episodes and brilliantly connects all the destinies. Dawson, Joey, Pacey, Jen, Jack, and Andie – I'll never forget them.

Eine Teenie-Serie, die anders ist, weil die Hauptfigur zum Beispiel klassische Hollywood-Filme liebt und diese Liebe weitergibt. Eine weitere Spezialität war beispielsweise eine Folge, die auf einem No-Doubt-Konzert in der sechsten Staffel spielt.

Too sentimental, long-winded and wannabe wise. But ninety percent of the issues addressed in the show are bollocks.
