I've been binge watching this all week, 15 years after I've last watched this show and it is exactly as I remember it. Intellectually over the top dialogue for a bunch of teens, but I think it's what makes it still interesting to watch now in my thirties. Many of the subjects are well approached and ahead of their time. However, I do think they overly tortured some relationships and the whole Joey Dawson thing was absolutely annoying. Thankfully they had Joey and Pacey end up together even if they split them up in such a horrendous manner. But, the show became a whole lot less interesting when they went off to college and from beginning to end, Dawson was always intolerable.
I remember all the shows lined up on the WB when I was a teen all being quite mature and blurring my reality of what I should expect from high school, considering all the actors were at least in there 20's, thus creating unrealistic expectations.
