The show satisfied my appetite by delivering the unexpected every time. After watching the first few episodes, my eyes were glued to the screen and craving more. “Outer Banks” is a well written, beachy, clever and exciting show that may start slow but builds up into eye-catching content. The writers are smart enough to make the characters have problems that the viewer can relate to, which is why they are such an easy group to enjoy. Part of that, one could say, is the way the show makes it easy to care about the characters. After mentioning unexpected relationships, events, or even just moments where you think the characters are dead and they come back with resilience. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this show is expecting the unexpected to happen. One thing to note is that the “pogues” and “kooks” usually do not get along however, a “pogue” and a “kook” not only fall in love, but John B’s friends accept Sarah as one of their own. This unlikely pair is brought together by their common goal in finding the treasure, and they eventually fall in love. Sarah Cameron serves as the attractive, witty “kook” who lives on the rich side of town and has the power of daddy’s money. John B hails from the poor side of the town, belonging to a group known as the “pogues.” With no adult figures in his life, and avoiding foster care, he has his three loyal friends to fall back on and serve as his de facto support system. Let’s start by looking at two of the most important people in this show John B and Sarah Cameron. The characters endure situations that might seem sticky, but everything works out because everyone works towards the common good. Seeing kids from all walks of life - a diverse group from both rich and poor families - embodies the entire show. The show also introduces the concept of unlikely relationships. Yes, there are still elements of the trials and tribulations that come with any coming of age series, but the main focus always remains finding the treasure. The treasure hunt becomes, rather quickly, the focal point of the show. The show starts off by introducing the characters and director Jonas Pate slowly builds up the action by including a treasure hunt where the group has to go above and beyond - stealing, lying and scamming - to get where they need to go. Taking normal issues that teenagers deal with and adding some more spice is what captivates the audience and makes them hungry for more. Each of the main characters has their own unique aspect that the average viewer can relate to in some capacity. Relatability is one of the key elements in character development and generating a successful storyline. Not having a consistent adult figure in your life, bouncing around for a place to stay and running from people that want to kill you do not make for ideal circumstances - but it’s the problems the characters face that makes the viewer care about them. John B (Chase Stokes), JJ (Rudy Pankow), Kiara (Madison Bailey), Pope (Jonathan Daviss) and Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline) make up this daring and relatable crew that deal with issues in their teenage lives, some more complicated than others. “Outer Banks” is about a group of delinquent teens in North Carolina who are insubordinate to all authority. It adds a new tool to the tool box of things you learn or enjoy. One of the best things about discovery is that you find a passion within you that you never realized was there. All it takes to get into a Netflix original is the simple *click* of your remote to play.
