Would you believe that one of the best shows ever made was a sex-obsessed teen drama from the CW? Dawson’s Creek begins with a group of East Coast teenagers with very different personalities: Dawson Leery is a smart movie buff who wants to become a director, and his best friend is a fiercely independent and tempestuous tomgirl named Joey. The charismatic cast of Dawson’s Creek includes James Van Der Beek (best known outside this show for Varsity Blues) as an aspiring filmmaker (Dawson) with big dreams of life after high school.
