The Re-Watcher's Council: Dawson's Creek

Dawson Wants Movies… But Capeside Wants Drama | Dawson’s Creek S01E01 Rewatch

✨ “Welcome back to Capeside, where drama sails in like the tide and nobody over 16 should be this eloquent.” ✨

In the pilot episode of Dawson’s Creek, we’re dropped into Capeside just as life for Dawson, Joey, Pacey, and Jen begins to shift forever. Dawson dreams of Spielberg-level romance, Joey is wrestling with feelings she can’t keep buried, Pacey makes a questionable decision with his summer fling, and Jen Lindley arrives from New York to shake up the Creek. It’s the start of the angst, the banter, and the over-articulate teen drama that defined a generation.
