Editorial Review:
The saga continues in this thought-provoking second season. Set in Capeside, a small coastal town near Boston, "Dawson's Creek" tells the story of five teenagers struggling through adolesence. Dawson Leary (James Van Der Beek) and introspective dreamer, and Joey Potter (Katie Holmes) a precocious tomboy unaware of her beauty, have been best friends since childhood. Pals Jennifer (Michelle Williams), Pacey (Joshua Jackson), and Jack (Kerr Smith) join them as they live, love and learn.
Description of Dawson's Creek - The Complete Second Season:
The second season of Dawson's Creek finds Dawson (James Van Der Beek) and Joey (Katie Holmes) exploring the newest phase of their lifelong friendship, leaving Jen (Michelle Williams) and Pacey (Joshua Jackson) on the outside. The former enters a downward spiral assisted by bad girl Abby (Monica Keena), but Pacey happens into a "meet cute" with one of Capeside's new residents, the impossibly perky Andie (Meredith Monroe), who turns out to be his perfect foil. The Creek also struck gold with its second major addition, Andie's brother Jack (Kerr Smith), who shows Joey that he's more than just a clumsy waiter. With the siblings' help, Pacey and Joey show the most personal growth during the season's 22 episodes. The constant parent-child crises can be a bit much, but there were numerous other developments, including a two-part sexual whodunnit, Dawson embarking on his second movie (assisted by Rachael Leigh Cook in a sizzling guest appearance), Dawson's birthday party from hell, a vicious rumor that spreads through the high school, and the emotion-wringing finale.
The only bonus feature is a commentary track on the first and last episodes just as with the first season, though executive producer Paul Stupin is by himself rather than accompanied by creator Kevin Williamson. The interplay is missed, but Stupin enthusiastically offers a lot of information about how the cast had become celebrities by the second season and had to juggle other projects, and random details and trivia. Stupin mentions how carefully he selected different pieces of music, which "would become forever part of our show." That's ironic because for this DVD set Stupin himself picked a lot of new music to replace the selections that originally aired, presumably because of the cost involved in securing the rights (a problem for many television DVD releases). A couple of episodes are unaltered, but others have had almost every song replaced. Newcomers to the series probably won't notice, but serious fans may want not want to tape over their VHS cassettes just yet. --David Horiuchi
Dawson's Creek - The Complete Second Season Reviews:
When things in the creek heated up... 
2009-06-13 - Things certainly changed up in the Creek when season 2 began. The popular do-they-don't-they relationship between Dawson and Joey had fans watching every week to see how far they'd take it... only to find that things kept falling apart.
New characters Jack and Andie were good additions to the cast, and brought complications to already established roles. Jack's budding relationship with Joey, and then coming out in English class. Andie and Pacey... their mentalities were clashing and a perfect pairing all at the same time.
More complications by end of the season, with Dawson and Joey parted... forever? Get season 3 and find out.
Why Would You Change the Music? 
2009-04-09 - When people think Dawson's Creek they think one thing - "I Don't Want to Wait" by Paula Cole. Most people probably don't know who Paula Cole is, but they definitely know the song. Parodies of the show even highlight the song. Dawson's Creek is just not Dawson's Creek without it. WB made a huge mistake in changing the music. What a disappointment. I can't say much for the quality either.
Dawson's creek second season
2009-02-11 - Every disk on this DVD skips and the first disk wont even play. when I purchased this DVD it said it was in good condition. I am pretty disappointed that I was unable to watch all the episodes on the second season of Dawson's creek
Delivered fine... 
2007-11-11 - I didn't buy this for me... I bought it for my girlfriend at the time. I don't really enjoy the show, but it was shipped quickly and delivered safely. My ex enjoys it. Others will too. You can't really go wrong with the TV DVD box sets!
EXCELLENT!
