Amazon.co.uk Review
It's goodbye to Capeside, hello to Boston in Dawson's Creek's fifth season (a.k.a.: Dawson's Creek: The College Years). While the end of the fourth season sent the five friends their separate ways--Dawson (James Van Der Beek) to USC Film School, Joey (Katie Holmes) to Wilmington College, Jen (Michelle Williams) and Jack (Kerr Smith) to Boston Bay College; and Pacey (Joshua Jackson) to the high seas--it doesn't take them long to find themselves together again. That's a good thing, especially when tragedy strikes a family member and threatens to tear the survivors apart.

More than anything, the fifth season seems to be about falling into bad relationships. Jen dates a cute but sleazy musician (Chad Michael Murray), Pacey gets a job in a restaurant where he pursues a woman (Lourdes Benedicto) already having an affair with a married man, then fends off a vampish new boss (Sherilyn Fenn, Twin Peaks). Joey is drawn to her handsome English professor (Ken Marino). And Jack joins a frat, becomes a jerk, and starts a devoted relationship with his beer bottle. Dawson meets an eccentric young filmmaker (Jordan Bridges) which in turn leads to a meeting with his favorite Boston film critic (Meredith Salenger). And Joey's new roommate, the annoyance-with-a-heart-of-gold Audrey (Busy Phillipps), becomes the newest major addition to the cast. The irritation factor is high this season, a couple of "Joey is threatened" interludes don't have the punch that they could have, and in the season finale, the inevitable resolution of the show's central relationship doesn't really resolve anything at all. But viewers who have followed the Capeside crew for four seasons will still want to see what happens in the fifth.

The fifth season is the first to have no DVD extras at all, and it continues the music-replacement strategy (which, since the second season has replaced much of the music, and since the third season has replaced Paula Cole's theme song, all due to licensing expenses). In addition to the usual background-music switches, some scenes have been edited (for example, the episode "Highway to Hell" has cut two of the performances on-stage at the Drunk & Dead). Also, the opening credits of "The Long Goodbye" and "Downtown Crossing" had originally used instrumental versions of "I Don't Want to Wait," which had underscored the emotion of those episodes. In the DVD set, those have been replaced by the standard version and an instrumental version, respectively, of "Run Like Mad." --David Horiuchi, Amazon.com

Description
In the series’ fifth season, the gang makes the transition from adolescence to adulthood as they embark on their first year of college. Joey, Jen and Jack all move to Boston for college and try to adjust to life in the big city while Dawson pursues his dream of attending film school in Los Angeles and Pacey stays behind in Capeside to work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cant Wait for Season 6!!!!, 2 Jun 2005
By A Customer
The gang are back and despite some of the reviews above and below...I think season 5 is fab! I began watching the series in the middle of season 5 when it was on telly and for me its clarified a lot of things. Dawson finally grows up! Pacey is a complete dream!!!! Joey loosens up a little...and as for Audrey...she is the best! If you are a Dawson's fan....you wont be disappointed!!!

Roll on Season 6!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Amnesia?, 31 Jul 2006
Many people complain about season five and it's apparent "amensia" to the Joey/Pacey relationship. These two had the longest, most intense, and most romantic relationship of the series, and though they broke it off in late season four, there should have been some acknoweldgement of their relationship here.

One good thing was that Pacey got back some confidence. It's refreshing to see him joking around again, after they put him in a downward spiral the end of the last season. Pacey (Josh Jackson) continues to outshine the title character in every way, with more charm and charisma, better lines, and better looks.

On another note, I think the writers did a very poor job this season. They tried to stress the "great" Dawson/Joey thing, about how their relationship was so "deep" and "complicated". Gag me. We are never shown this on screen. The two have horrible communication and generally make each other miserable. I think the writers should have listened to fans and just dropped the issue. No one really cared about them together anymore, especially me.

All other relationships pale compared to season three and four's JoeyAndPacey phenomenon. The season could have been saved with their relationship. Instead, we are force fed other couples, which all falter and seem generally boring and contrived. Bring back the P/J stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars as good as the last 4, 9 May 2005
By A Customer
Season five brings the characters into the adult world and sees the once pent up joey loosening up a little! Unfortunately mitch dies but the whole ordeal is handled in such a way that it unites the characters once again after being split apart by college.

Season 5 is well worth buying if your a fan of Dawsons creek, it holds many of the same formulas that made the previous four seasons so successful. And it allows for the charcters to grow up and experience new things. Plus joey's room mate is sooo cool!
