Dawson's Creek's Pacey-Joey relationship still holds up after all these years

The Muse

"The Pacey-Joey relationship wasn’t plagued with the dysfunctional darkness of its teen genre peers Buffy and Spike, and they possessed the kind of compatible longevity that was missing from all of Rory Gilmore’s romantic partnerships," says Lauren Pinnington. "Their screwball dynamic, coupled with actors Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson’s untapped chemistry and an intricately plotted courtship subverted everything expected of the show. It unsurprisingly still resonates with so many millennial women who grew up watching the series. There was a time when we had come for the angst, but now we were staying for the romance."
