Tripe, maybe, but watchable tripe. [02 May 1998, p.83]
-
Attractive as well as articulate, all these high schoolers qualify for some sort of advanced placement. They're easy to watch, just a little hard to believe.
-
It would be a lot easier to like the kids from Dawson's Creek if they'd just put a sock in it now and then. [20 Jan 1998, p.C8]
-
The WB series is well-acted but runs its coming-of-age theme into the ground. [20 Jan 1998, p.D1]
-
Dawson's Creek needs less cleverness and more emotional spark. As the 16-year-old in my house said after watching three episodes, 'It's like My So-Called Life without the life.'
-
It's basically an oversimplified, teeny-bopper version of nighttime soap operas like "Knots Landing" and "Falcon Crest." [20 Jan 1998, p.C1]
-
Dawson's Creek doesn't cut it when measured against other adolescent coming-of-angst series.
-
Dawson's Creek is "My So-Called Sex Life," a hyperventilating soap that finds hit-making horror scribe Kevin Williamson pigeonholing the adolescent experience as a Freudian misadventure of boiling libidos and roaring psychobabble.
-
We can only hope that the target teenage audience isn't the collection of sappy sitting ducks that Williamson thinks it is.
