1) Amazon.com
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

1) Delivered fine...   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
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!

2) EXCELLENT!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I'VE BOUGHT THE COMPLETE SERIES: 6 SEASONS AND SERIES FINALE, RECOMMENDED 4 DAWNSON'S CREEKS FANS

3) Better than the first season   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Of course to understand the second season you might want to buy the first season as well, but I wanted to point out that season two is great because a lot more drama occurs. It's ashame that Jennifer cut her hair though ;[ lol, otherwise this is great!

4) I love this show but...   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I love this show this is why I bought the DVD but why did they change the music. They even got rid of the Paula Cole song for the opening. I understand it was for some legal reasons, but they still play the original version of the show on the TV reruns. I don't get it. It even makes some of the scenes feel different because of the altered music. Ugggggg!

5) One of the good ones   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I loved Dawson's Creek - The Complete Second Season was one of the best seasons that they had made. In this season the way that they portray the relationship issues and how it effects everyone that is involved is perfection. When I watched this I stayd attached to it because it was like I was watching a movie about my life and I was amazed about how that played out. I think that the directors had guts to put in what they did for the 90's.
