It did not stick by the conventional teenage drama mould that has been copied many times by other shows. All the characters in the show are very complex and because they are all there from day one the viewer learns to love each character because we come to respect and understand them.
The viewer can also learn to see things they like in each of the characters and because the show stays true to itself, the characters do not change they just evolve. The writing in this show is generally of a very good standard, and particularly in the first three seasons the music score is also great. The best episode of the show is probably "The Longest Day" as this is just superbly directed and put together and will probably rank among the best for many fans of the show.
A big strength of this show is that it appeals to a large amount of people in the teenage age group and unlike most teenage shows, it appeals to both men and women. I think this is due to the fact that the characters are not just two-dimension Hollywood cutouts and they all have deep personalities. The audience can identify with the characters because they paint a realistic portrayal of teenage life.
I personally think the show went on for too long and it should have finished after the fourth season. This is due to the fact that in Season 5 most of the characters moved away to different parts of the country and the closeness of the characters we had become to love simply vanished.
The new characters that were cast into the show did not really add much to the already established show. FAQ 3. What happened to Bodie Bessie's boyfriend? Where was this filmed? Details Edit. Release date January 20, United States.

Goofs The mascot of their high school is the Patriots.

User reviews 5 Review. Top review. The journey begins!!! I thought it was a good way to begin the series. Dawson is a dreamer who loves movies. Joey is the girl next door. Pacey is the slacker.
Jen is the the wild child from New York. The acting is very will done, emotion and comedy is shown. The reason the show is so great is because it deals with real issues every day teens go through.
This episode in particular shows that a certain age the thing you did when you were younger are no longer appropriate. And that growing up is inevitable. Also the music in this episode is great, i particularly like the song called "Good Mother" by Jann Arden which is herd in the scene where Bettsy is putting lipstick on Joey, another song i enjoyed was "Hey Pritty Girl" by the Bodeans which is herd in the scene where Jen gets out of the taxi.
One of the funniest parts of the episode is when Joey asks Dawson what time of day he walks his dog and he yells out the window to tell her. The Joey and Pacey love story was not a complete break with this romantic formula. Nor did the story entirely avoid the idea of Joey as a prize for Pacey to win. Viewers rooted for Pacey and Joey to be together not because they thought Joey loved Pacey more — her feelings had to remain ambiguous for the love triangle to work — but because they thought Pacey deserved her more than Dawson did.
Structurally, as the Joey-Pacey storyline took over the show, Joey stopped representing the prize that demonstrated that the world revolved around Dawson and started representing the prize that demonstrated that Pacey had become a better man than Dawson. So how do you feel? Veronica Mars had Veronica go from Duncan to Logan. Teen Wolf sent Lydia from Jackson to Stiles.
And one of the most recent examples, Riverdale , made the switch in record time , by sending Betty from Archie to Jughead well before the end of season one. These storylines never quite succeed in allowing the heroine to have value as her own person: Consistently, she is treated as a structural prize offered to the romantic hero whenever he proves that he is a good enough man.
