Its the end of something simple and the beginning of Everything Else, 13 Jun 2006
For anyone on the age bracket of about 18 to 28 years old (give or take a couple years), DAWSON'S CREEK was "the It Show" of our generation. Right from the first episode, there was just something about this magical show that clicked from start to finish. Sure sometimes the character where a little too naive or over educated to be forreal, but there was something about taking an escape into the complete yet relaxing world of these characters. As the audience watched them grow from dou-eyed high school freshmen into educated, sophistica, lifewarn twenty-somethings it is really a magical journey.
I personally feel very lucky to know that I spent six years with these character, and while I was a wee bit young to complete experience everything the first time around on television it was through the magic of DVD that I was able to truely experience everything this show had to offer in all its glory. This box set is an awesome testiment to the show and the fans, and I really wish something like this would be available stateside, as I would gladly rebuy the seasons to have them all together.
Season 1 of the series introduceds the 'core four' of the series: Dawson Leery (the spoiled-only child with a dream of becoming a filmmaker), Joey Potter (the girl down the creek that you can't help but fall in love with back when katie Holmes was irrestible), Pacey (the bad boy), and Jen (the New York kickout, girl-next door)
Season 2 added two additional characters Andy (The overzelous peepy one who would stay in the show throughout high school), and her brother Jack (who will eventually turn out to be gay, and who will stick with the show till the end).
Season 3 show the group intering their junior year of high school and a few major relationship changes that show that life does not usually go according to plan.
Season 4 is the groups senior year of high school where they are all forced to make major decisions about their future and how they want to live their lives.
Season 5 is the groups freshman year of college and is all about the kids dealing with the freedoms and responsibilities of growing up.
Season 6, the final season, basically takes off from season 5 but adds to each with each character in some way eventually discovering and persuing their calling.
It is also important to note that when the producers decided to end the series durring the six series the network order an additional two episodes for a 'grand finale' that the producers took full advantage of. The series is basically wrap with episode 126 "Joey Potter and the Capeside Redemption," and then the final two episodes "All good things, must come to an end" which serves almost as a reunion movie as it takes place five years after the episode before it and shows what happens to the core members of the group once they go their seperate ways.

Tales from the Creek, 14 Mar 2006
In a world obsessed with sex, drugs, violence and corruption, the escape to Dawson's Creek is a welcome one.
The sweet naivety of the characters is something to treasure and is something that sets this show apart from most others. On the most basic level, who can complain about watching a show full of attractive people? But looking deeper into the show, it says alot about relationships, with friends, family, girl/boyfriends. Dawson's Creek definitely makes you think about you own life and circumstances, and on the odd occasion, i've taken advice from the show for my own life. All six seasons in one box set is a bit pricey but well worth it, and ultimately cheaper than buying them seperately. From the first season the characters are so endearing you'll want to follow their journey's through high school and beyond. For the hardcore fans, this boxset is all the excuse you need to take a week off work and watch every episode, back to back.
The Box Set is well worth it, Dawson and friends will change you perspective on life forever.

Fantastic Bargain, 13 Jan 2008
Great series. This is a 34 disc set and it includes the Season 6 two part series finale.I have no idea why Amazon are advertising this boxset alongside the series finale DVD in their advert (don't make the mistake of buying both!!)A fantastic bargain at under £35, thats under £6 a season. Buy it at this price while you can!
