I honestly believe it was one of the best series on television.
The cast was so solid - James, Michelle, Katie, Josh - that I cannot chose a favorite amongst them. The dynamic of the writing and their portrayals as well as chemistry is what kept the show alive.
I might be biased, as this show is my life dramatized. Film guy, close group of friends since day care, new girl into the mix and so on and so forth ... Buffy/Angel is my favorite show but I can't help but teeter that Dawson's Creek is better, regardless of the missed notes they had in the run. (Eve? LOL!)
If you are interested in the series and haven't watched, don't read the rest ...
I was always a D/Jer and was so satisfied by the ending. I still am but for their friendship. P/J is what I would consider myself now. Dawson fit with Jen really well. It's also the only television finale that can turn me into a weeping lady. This show had so much heart! I wish there was as active a community for it as the Buffyverse; it's vastly underrated these days. One Tree Hill doesn't hold a candle to this series. Jack's journey was amazing, even now it works better than most gay storylines methinks. I'm an Audrey fan, too. I wish her and Andie could've been in a room together for a scene.
One of my very fews gripes is ignoring Audrey for the finale. Come on, Kevin Williamson; I know she wasn't your character but she played a big part in the last two seasons! You chose to leave the show, respect the major character created in your absence!
