Cancellation
As with so many other Netflix alterations, this one had some fans vowing to cancel their subscription to the streamer. Many wrote that this was the final straw after all of Netflix's recent bad press.
Realization
Many fans did not see this removal coming and they were devastated when they realized what had happened. Some even tagged Netflix in their tweets demanding an explanation.
Alternatives
Dawson's Creek has left Netflix, but in the U.S. it is still available to stream on both Hulu and HBO Max. However, fans still had gripes about those options -- for example, many use Hulu's lowest-tier membership plan which imposes ads where Netflix does not.
Sprint to the Finish
Other fans knew that the show was leaving Netflix ahead of time and they hurried through the final few days of their binge-watch.
Rewatch Value
A few fans noted that they had tried to rewatch Dawson's Creek while it was on Netflix but had found that it didn't hold up as well as they had expected. Of course, comments like this generated a lot of controversy in some places.
Music
When Dawson's Creek was first added to Netflix, fans criticized the streamer for licensing the show without licensing all of the original music. The music had just recently been updated at the time it left Netflix, which added insult to injury in some eyes.
Unfinished
Of course, no one was more upset about this removal than the fans who were in the middle of a binge-watch and had not yet finished.
