## Premise

[edit]

Outer Banks is set in a coastal town along the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where there is a stark social divide between wealthy seasonal residents and working-class locals, nicknamed the "Kooks" and "Pogues", respectively. The show follows a group of Pogue teenagers who live at The Cut and are determined to find out what happened to the missing father of the group's ringleader, John B. Along the way, they discover a legendary treasure that is tied to John B's father.[4]

Chased by the law and a wealthy group of Kooks from Figure Eight, the Pogues seek to overcome obstacles such as love, fighting, friendship, and money.

John B, Kiara, Pope, and JJ are a group of friends (the "Pogues") who live on Kildare Island. John B's scheduled move to a foster home is postponed due to a hurricane. After the hurricane, the Pogues find a key to a motel room onboard a sunken ship in the marsh. The room safe has an envelope, a gun, and a large amount of cash. JJ grabs the gun and a handful of cash from the room. Later that night the Pogues go to a beach party and John B gets into a scuffle with Topper (one of the Pogues' rivals, part of the wealthy gang of Kooks). JJ threatens Topper with the gun from the motel room when Topper tries to drown John B. Later on, John B borrows scuba gear from his employer (Ward Cameron, father of "Kook princess" Sarah) so they can explore the wreck. While leaving the boat crash site they are chased and shot at by two other men in a boat, but Kiara sabotages the men's boat and they get away. When they arrive home they find John B's father's compass in a bag from the wreck.

John B finds a clue inside it: "Redfield". The two men show up looking for the clues from the Merchant. The group gets away and goes to the Redfield lighthouse, where a man tells them where to find the Merchant but calls the cops on them when he sees the compass. JJ and Pope get away but Kiara and John B get caught and are bailed out by Kiara's dad. John B is chased by the two men again, but they leave when the sheriff shows up.

Unbeknownst to them, the pilot is not who he appears to be and Kiara is kidnapped in the scuffle. Rafe, filling in Ward on his progress, works with Rose to find a buyer for the cross despite her hesitations with Rafe taking the lead. Meanwhile, Mrs. Limbrey meets with Big John Routledge, and he tells her that he has wanted to tell his son that he's been alive, but that it would put John B at risk. The remaining Pogues head out to search for Kiara and discover more ties to the Royal Merchant gold and the cross.

Big John uses the local church bells to draw John B to him.

Ward returns to Outer Banks, concerned about Rafe's self-assurance with his dad not around. Kiara's parents express concerns about her safety around the Pogues, especially JJ - whom her father has never trusted. They suggest a wilderness re-education camp to which Kiara is opposed to. JJ signs him & a reluctant John B up for a minor drugs smuggling operation in exchange for a flight to South America, but John B is ultimately arrested.

Rafe asserts his dominance over his father, but Barry tells him Ward will always be a problem and that the only solution is for him to be killed. Sarah goes to Ward for help getting to South America and he allows her to use his jet, desperate to make amends with her. She also convinces Topper to delay the assault trial by a day. John B is released and he reconciles with Sarah. The group hangs out at John B's house. Topper drives by and, after seeing John B and Sarah getting intimate, he sets the place alight.

The next morning, after barely making it out John B's burned house, the Pogues convene at the airfield, ready to board the jet. However, Kiara is cornered at her house by staff members from Kitty Hawk, a wilderness behavioral reformation camp for troubled teens her parents signed her up for and is taken away. Time is running out for the Pogues as the police, having been tipped off to John B's location by Topper, are closing in. JJ rushes to Kiara's house to find her and her parents tell him they sent her to Kitty Hawk. JJ sets off to rescue her while the others anxiously wait at the airfield.

Meanwhile, Rafe has followed Barry's advice and decided Ward needs to be killed so he can start his own Cameron legacy at OBX. He asks Barry to carry out the act, but Barry contracts a hitman so the murder can't be traced. Soon after however, Rafe has a change of heart and tells Barry not to go ahead with the hit, but is horrified to learn Barry has already paid off the hitman. Ward is attacked and his leg is injured but Rafe saves him. A passer-by recognizes the fugitive Ward, so him and Rafe flee on Rafe's bike to the airfield. The gang there is shocked to see them and tensions increase when Rafe claims they have to leave before the police arrive and arrest both Ward and John B. With no time left, the group boards the plane, minus Rafe, who Ward makes amends with and gives his blessing to take control of the Cameron businesses at OBX.

Back at Kitty Hawk, JJ secretly communicates with Kiara and discovers the cabin she is in. The two reunite and JJ apologizes for their previous argument. They confess their love for each other and kiss before making their escape, heading to South America aboard Barracuda Mike's plane.

Everyone arrives in Orinoco, South America. JJ & Kiara bump into Pope and Cleo, running from Singh's men. Sarah and John B overhear Big John shouting nearby and attempt to rescue him, before he escapes himself and the trio run away. They find Jose, a river guide who will take them to the dig site of El Dorado, but tempers flare when Ward invites himself along. The four head upriver to the dig site. John B, his father and Sarah begin the climb. Meanwhile, the others have found their own boat and are making their way to the site too - but discover that Singh knows where John B and Sarah are and that they are in danger.

Finally, the trio makes it to the site and successfully solve the riddle. Suddenly, Singh corners them and threatens to shoot John B unless Big John reveals the riddle. When Big John seems to hesitate, Sarah rushes forward and tackles the gun away. The three, plus Ward, escape. Sarah is furious to learn her father betrayed them by telling Singh their location and she threatens to shoot him if he doesn't stay away. Shocked, Ward leaves and the others press on. They ultimately find the cave entrance where El Dorado is but John B notices his father got shot badly during the scuffle.

The cave leads to a pool of water, that Sarah realizes is deeper than previously thought. The entrance to El Dorado is underwater. Big John isn't able to fit through so he instructs John B and Sarah to find it and tells them the final part of the riddle. Meanwhile, Singh is tracking them from Big John's blood and closing in fast. John B and Sarah discover El Dorado and collect a piece of the gold before returning to Big John. However, they are met by Singh, who threatens them both for the gold. Big John emerges and threatens to blow up the entrance to El Dorado with a stick of dynamite. Singh claims he's bluffing but Big John throws the stick and the cave explodes. Singh is killed but John B, Sarah, and Big John get out. Suddenly, Ward holds them all at gunpoint. The rest of the Pogues rush to their aid, wielding machetes. However, one of Singh's men swears vengeance for his fallen friends and moves to shoot Sarah. Ward pushes him off the side of the hill with him, killing them both. Big John suddenly collapses from blood loss and the group hurries him back to the boat and head towards OBX. He doesn't make it and passes away.

18 months later, the group is being commended for uncovering the location of El Dorado. Suddenly, a mysterious man approaches the group with an offer to uncover the sunken treasure of Edward Teach, more commonly known as Captain Blackbeard. They happily agree.

## Reception

[edit]

### Critical response

[edit]

Steve Greene of IndieWire gave the series' first season a B− and wrote a review saying, "Some of those later confrontations buckle under the weight of their plot connecting, but when Outer Banks dials its melodrama to its own sweet spot, there's enough fun to keep a story-hungry audience following along the trail."[37] Reviewing the series for The Hollywood Reporter, Daniel Fienberg described the series' first season as "pretty people, pretty cinematography, pretty dumb" and said, "the show is positively littered with characters and plot threads that feel like they might have been relevant or even important in a 13-episode season or a YA novel that offered more breathing room."[38]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season holds an approval rating of 77% based on 22 reviews, with an average rating of 7/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Outer Banks' over-the-top melodrama is balanced out by a strong sense of adventure that's bound to hook those looking to capture that summer feeling."[39] On Metacritic, it has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100 based on 9 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[40]

The second season has an 86% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 7 reviews, with an average rating of 6.7/10.[41]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the third season holds an approval rating of 56% based on 9 reviews, with an average rating of 4.1/10.[42]

The fourth season has a 100% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 5 reviews, with an average rating of 7.0/10.[43]

### Audience viewership

[edit]

For the week of August 2 to 8, 2021, Outer Banks was ranked number one in the Nielsen ratings U.S. streaming chart, who announced that the show had been viewed for a total of 2.1 billion minutes of its 20 episodes.[44] For the following week, the series was ranked number one again in the Nielsen ratings U.S. streaming chart with a total of 1.16 billion total minutes of viewing for the 20 episodes.[45]

### Legal matter

[edit]

On December 21, 2020, a North Carolina teacher and author named Kevin Wooten filed a lawsuit against Netflix and the creators of Outer Banks, claiming they stole the plot of his novel Pennywise: The Hunt For Blackbeard's Treasure!. Wooten had sought for ongoing royalties and damages payments.[46][47] The lawsuit was ultimately dismissed by federal judge Timothy Batten the following year in favor of the Pate brothers and Burke. In a 25-page opinion, Batten noted that the plots of Wooten's novel and the series shared similarities with respect to the themes of shipwrecks and finding buried treasure but opined that the substantial differences in other aspects, such as the plot and characterization, meant that analyzing the plots of both works "at such a high level of abstraction would render every work involving a hunt for treasure susceptible to copyright infringement."[48][49]
