Dawson’s Creek

The late 90’s and early 2000’s is a near but distant memory of my youth. However, I’m reminded of a time in my life, when I’d just finished high school and a young college bound adult with my life ahead of me. This was a time when tv shows were simply swoon worthy. A time when, I didn’t hesitate to be in front of the television on a Tuesday night watching one of my favorite shows! With that said, today, in the now, some 20 plus years later, my #quarantinelife guilty-pleasure is reliving my teenage and early college years through, “Dawson’s Creek!”

I loved this show dearly when it was on back in the day. From the very first episode, I was hooked, and I was transported back to my youth and I caught all of the “feels” all over again. The clothes, the music of an era that was truly distinctive, and a time that is proven to be timeless! When I watched, it was as if, time had not passed. I think it’s a wonderful feeling when a show has this kind of impact on the viewer, and testament to this show’s staying power. I mean let’s face it, it’s definitely a classic. I can get lost in the story and Season 1 was simply wonderful! There was so much drama, and the push and pull between these characters was moving.

One of my favorite episodes, is when Dawson and Joey finally acknowledge their feelings for one another; ultimately leading to their first kiss. It was innocent and beautiful and pure satisfaction. I was rooting for them, and how could I not! Also, the relationship between Pacey and his teacher, Tamara Jacobs, made me cringe, but I was invested. Eventhough, I knew that it was so wrong, a part of me wanted Pacey to be loved. Maybe not necessarily by his teacher, but I understood how this relationship of a simple boyhood crush, blossomed into something much more mature. I also respected how this show attempted to address bigotry and racism through the storyline that connected Jen’s Grandmother’s displeasure of the bi-racial relationship of Joey’s older sister and her husband. It wasn’t great, but they were willing to at least address these challenging social issues in their storylines. As well as, “open relationships” through Dawson’s parents. This show had a lot of great moments, and I for one am here for all of it! Every weekend, you can find me right in front of my “tube” binge watching Dawson’s Creek on Netflix!
