Dawson's Creek is leaving Netflix on 4/30, so if you want to get your Pacey fix, you'll need to go to Hulu or HBO Max instead (where it's also streaming? weird) pic.twitter.com/BfYw15UJHc

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.

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.

Dawson’s Creek is on Netflix WITH the correct music, I Don’t Wanna Wait is not replaced!!! As it should be. The opening credits are essential to watch this show. pic.twitter.com/o5qIi3npvs

Netflix just removed Dawson's Creek even after finally paying for the original theme song. That's a real chump move. Total bozo behavior.
— Alexander Horab (@AlexanderHorab) May 7, 2022
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.

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.
