i disagree, Dawson from Dawson's Creek would definitely watch a show like Dawson's Creek

in fact in the last season of the show, we see he's become a successful showrunner/director for his own show, a show that is essentially Dawson's Creek

i think Pacey would never watch Dawson's Creek, neither would Joey or Jen

yes, Dawson would want a super-earnest show about his life etc. and he'd like the IDEA of "Dawson's Creek", of course. but I think he would hate or lampshade many of the weirder decisions of the show (the Eve storyline, for example).

the Eve storyline was super dumb and never paid off

but it was just a way to keep dawson sidelined while joey and pacey spent the season getting closer

i think the writers realized the show was better when joey and pacey were the focus

in fact, a more accurate title of the show is "Joey's Creek" . the show really revolved around her , not Dawson

yes! (also: thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful reply here. DC discourse usually stops at "And he's crying lol")

giving Jen a half-sister and have TWO sex-positive girls become friends sounds great, but Eve never was that. (and in the end, Audrey wasn't either because she propped up Joey, not Jen.)

This is what I came to say.

Except, high school Joey would have watched with Dawson and talked over it with her cynicism the whole time while Dawson defended it to the death.

Dawson was very idealistic

Pacey would watch it in secret and love it, and be "mortified" when Joey discovered his secret, bc he let some obscure scene slip into conversation. Pacey had a romantic soul (I remember everything)

But spot on with Jen.

Sorry, in the middle of a rewatch with my 16 year old daughter. 😁
