Current Netflix Obsession

I just started watching Dawson's Creek on Netflix, and I'm definitely addicted.  It's almost antiquated at this point as a drama (in Season three Andie doesn't know how to use a search engine), and it's surprisingly poignant.  I guess I thought it was funny and cute and teen-hormone driven.  Well, the teen-hormone part is right, but this is not a funny show!  The things these kids go through with each other and with their families is sometimes almost painful to watch.

Anyway, plot lines are so ridiculous I love them (keep in mind I'm about half-way through season three):

  • Dawson's overwhelming naivety regarding love, his parents, Joey
  • Jen's sudden celibacy
  • The entire Mitch and Gail saga
  • Andie's convenient mental health problems
Okay, okay, I may not be completely fair to the show, I mean, it is over ten years old.  

So, did you watch Dawson's Creek?  
Love it? Hate it? Indifferent?
