-
Smartly written and utterly fantastic. [20 Jan 1998, p.E10]
-
It's one of the most textured dramas to hit TV in quite a while. [20 Jan 1998, p.C]
-
It's an unabashed, out-there, boldface teen drama that makes the stuff in Washington look like "The Wonder Years." [30 Jan 1998, p.C1]
-
It’s an accomplished pilot with tons of promise that introduces so much that it doesn’t have time to reveal many retrograde or complacent attitudes (not to mention fashions).
-
Dawson's Creek offers a lesson in the dangers of overhype. But Mr. Williamson does seem to have written hit all over it.
-
It's a good drama, one filled with an enjoyable, watchable cast, lovely and textured writing, and catchy original and previously recorded alternative music. [20 Jan 1998, p.3]
-
You don't have to be a lonely teenager to relate. [18 Jan 1998, p.6G]
-
Underneath, Dawson's Creek seems not so much about sex as about growing up in a culture obsessed with sex. It's a subtle difference, but one that could make this newest prime-time soap a cut above the rest. [20 Jan 1998, p.4E]
-
If it doesn't get weighed down by its pedigree, its iffy network or its own rather far-reaching aspirations, Dawson's Creek may be worth a long and winding run. [20 Jan 1998, p.C7]
-
An addictive mixture of soap opera aond coming-of-age saga, one that fans of shows like "Party of Five" and "My So-Called Life" -- and good TV in general -- should certainly sample. [20 Jan 1998, p.D3]
-
Dawson's Creek also shines with some terrific performances that illuminate honest attempts to get at the true nature of decent contemporary kids. It's worth a look. [20 Jan 1998, p.67]
