Dawson's Creek (1998–2003)
Stop! No more!
30 January 2000
I can resolve the answer to most questions in a short period of time. The point remains there has been a nagging thought for the past two years since this casualty to the rising graveyard of T.V wasteland as to how it is realistic T.V, as to why this remains on the air, and as to why it remains necessary to stay far away on Thursday nights when this T.V show takes to the screen for another week.

It is unsurprising this show has hit an emotional chord with teenagers. "Dawson's Creek" has remained one of those shows which is either worshipped by teenagers or absolutely loathed. As a teenager falling into the minority of the two categories, this genre of T.V has remained an ongoing nightmare. Furthermore, teenage targeted shows have remained one of the industry's least demanding creations. Therefore, whatever flaws it may have, have not become evident.

The characters are either planks of wood or cardboard cutouts stuck against the pretty views of the creek, thrown in for good measure. Pale, unexplored in depth and most of all, annoying. It doesn't help when an emotionally challenged writer such as Kevin Williamson has created such a series with the only credits to his name are teenage horror flicks which I continually find putting up on my top ten worst movies of the 90s list.

Teenagers may be able to relate this, but if that is supposed to be my life, I don't know if I lived it.
