This show is ridiculously unrealistic, but tbh I don't even care. It's obvious that it's not supposed to be the most serious show ever, so I'm totally fine with it being completely over the top.
The main actors are very easy on they eyes, and are doing a pretty decent job with their acting (nothing outstanding of course).
The actors are way too old for the roles they are playing, until Sarah said she was only 16, I wasn't really sure what age they were supposed to be. But whatever, that's nothing new. Casting of age approproate actors is super hard, so I can't deduct any points for that really.
I am not completely finished yet, but so far it's fun, fast paces, enjoyable.
Edit: After finishing the show I CAN'T WAIT for season 2. It got SO much better with each episode, and honestly, at the end this felt like a really high quality production, and it's a really good setup for a potential second season. What impressed me the most is how well the dialogie was written, it was really believable. If you can ignore the fact that they don't look like 16 at all, they definitely act like a bunch of stupid 16 year olds. Netflix, you've done it again!

I wasn't really sure what to expect from Outer Banks as I originally thought it was a show aimed just for teens but I couldn't of been more wrong. It's a show where people of all ages can enjoy it. It's about a teenager and his three best friends who hunt for a legendary hidden treasure after his father's disappearance. It takes a while to get going but once it does it doesn't slow down. There's something about this show that makes it feel authentic. It's a well enough written show where it will keep you following along and having a good time doing it. It has the perfect blend of comedy, drama, mystery, etc to keep you entertained. I really did enjoy it much more than I thought I would. If you're looking to turn off your mind and just enjoy a fun show...this is it!
This series has teenage kids, in a van, solving mysteries in a swampy, spooky landscape.
The boys are handsome, the girls are cute.
The only thing missing is a dog.
I have to say that I ended up enjoying Outer Banks a lot more than I thought I would. It's by no means one of my favorite shows I've ever seen but it's definitely worth watching. The only reason I started watching this is because I was bored and heard mostly good things about it so I thought why not? I'm glad I did because I ended up binging through it pretty quick. It's a tense, suspense filled series that will hold your attention throughout the series. Most of it is unbelievable but that's part of the fun of the show. I do have to warn you that this last season (S4) is not very good. The only reason I got through it is because I was already so invested in the show but it was disappointing. The show is coming to an end with Season 5 so let's all hope it gets back to the quality of the first couple of seasons.
Like you, I've been holed up binge watching Nexflix and Prime. I've watched everything under the sun. This had just come out on Netflix and I started watching it. I never stopped.
It is a fun and enjoyable show. The casting is extraordinary...every actor hits it out of the park.
The story moves along at an engaging pace to the end, yet looking back, every episode could stand as a one off...on it's own. It's a remarkable accomplishment and kudos to the writers.
It's hard to categorize the genre. It's rated m, but no nudity or gore. I see no reason why a 13 year old couldn't watch it. It's funny, has many mini adventures, many misadventures, romance, shipwrecks, storms, fires, gunshots, keggers, jail, boys save girls, girls save boys, parents are devil's, parents are angel's, treasure maps ...and the show has fun doing all of it.
Perfect for a quarantine.
