Dawson creek season 1-6

Dawson’s Creek was shot like a motion picture using a single camera and often filmed on location, rather than being largely studio bound.

The series used soothing colors, similar to Party of Five, rather than the cold, harsh look of shows such as The Practice. While most of the episodes were conventional, there were two Rashomon-like episodes exploring a story from differing perspectives, and the somber fifth season episode”Downtown Crossing”featured only one regular, Joey, and her interaction with a mugger. The fourth season episode “The Unusual Suspects,” was filmed as a film noir detective story—complete with camera work and music appropriate to the genre. At times, Dawson’s Creek was deliberately self-conscious, as when Eve tells Dawson he is Felicity, beginning a discussion of why Dawson doesn’t like television shows, which concludes with his observation that they cut away when the best part comes—immediately demonstrated when Eve, about to kiss him, is interrupted by the main titles. It also made fun of itself on other episodes besides that one, especially the finale, when Dawson is the creator of a TV show called “the Creek.”

What can you say about a teen drama developed by the writer of Scream, Kevin Williamson, other than he should have stayed in teen drama. (Luckily he’s reconciled those two genres with The Vampire Diaries). Dawson’s Creek is one of those special types of shows that come to symbolize an era. If you were fifteen years old when Dawson’s Creek premiered, you literally grew into adulthood with Dawson (James Van Der Beek), Joey (Katie Holmes), Pacey (Joshua Jackson), and Jen (Michelle Williams). Now with this set you can watch the whole thing all over again, don’t wait for your lives to be over.

Awards: Dawson’s Creek was nominated for fourteen awards, including ALMA Awards, Casting Society of America Awards, Golden Satellite Awards, TV Guide Awards, and YoungStar Awards. Joshua Jackson won the Teen Choice Award for Choice Actor three times and the show won the Teen Choice Award for Choice Drama once. The series also won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding TV Drama Series.
