The arrival of Jennifer, the attractve new girl in town, puts a barrier between Dawson and his longtime best friend, Josephine ("Joey")--a local girl who lives across the pond with her pregnant sister and her sister's black boyfriend. He also must deal with good buddy Pacey's obsession with the school's attractive new teacher. Things won't be so quiet in this small town.

Dawson's Creek is a good show that depicts a group of intelligent teenage best friends growing up in a small town. The acting and chemistry of the characters are strong, the romance is highly cute, the dialogue is very articulate, the characters are well rounded and there are many great themes and lessons to teach youths. This is a show I avoided when I was young that I find is actually good having watched it recently.

Either I watched too many special features or deleted scenes years ago when I had the physical copies of this series on DVD, or they cut out some of the two part series finale. hello, where the H is the scene with Pacey and Andie, having coffee or Dawson and Joey's run in at the gas station? still love the show.
