I freaking loved It. It made me angry, anxious, happy and sad at the right moments. For me the show turned a 180° from beginning to end.

Playful, high adventure with a lovable cast. Requires some suspension of disbelief because the story line isn't always coherent - characters appear in places they couldn't be or know things that they shouldn't know - but it's just fun toPlayful, high adventure with a lovable cast. Requires some suspension of disbelief because the story line isn't always coherent - characters appear in places they couldn't be or know things that they shouldn't know - but it's just fun to watch. Hopeful for a second season, as there's still plenty of life left in the story.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A bunch of 20 something actors and actresses are a bunch of 15ish year old kids who can drive, drink beer, scuba dive, own guns, have beach fights talk like and have the physique of w0 something year olds BUT if a real adult doesn't turn up once in a while, the main guy will go to foster care... They find dead guys stuff, break boats, steal things, point pistols at people, drive on booze, get shot at by violent criminals AND have a flailing sexual tension. But wait, there's a compass and suddenly everything is deep and everything is now just a laugh but it's deep too. Oh so deep. ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Acting poor, casting poor, script stupid, premise nonsense and on top of that, it's boring. Most obviously though, HOW OLD ARE THESE 'KIDS'. WHY DO THE POOR ONES HAVE MONEY FOR ANYTHING THEY NEED? WHY ARE THE RICH KIDS PSYCHOPATHS? Life isn't like this, life mustn't become like this. It's entirely stupid in every way.… Expand

"Outer Banks" has a dangerous potential to suck you in, but is ultimately a show you've seen before (a more grounded Riverdale on an island or a dumbed-down Veronica Mars) - nothing more and often less. There are countless holes in the show and suspending your disbelief is routine, if not a big reason you keep watching. The characters are cardboard cutouts in most cases, to the point that generic and familiar decisions (based on similar shows like Riverdale and VM) become surprising. There are some surprising points but more because they are wild turns that capitalize on your disbelief. Ultimately, "Outer Banks" isn't awful and, in fact, it's highly watchable most of the time, but it's amazingly unnecessary, inessential, forgettable, one-note, and aggressively mediocre in hindsight. It's rarely boring but doesn't really deserve your time as anything more than a show you watch while washing the dishes.… Expand

Frustrating in both good and very bad ways, the series doesn’t ever know what it’s supposed to be.

Similarly to how a teenager doesn’t know what crowd to hangout in, this series can’t find its rhythm, jumping from mystery, to adventure, to teen romance all at nauseating speeds. But it does have its upsides. Namely, the portrayal of teen violence, familial abuse, drug use, and the sense of adventure (when it can get it right) makes this a mostly enjoyable ride. Unfortunately, it’s just very inconsistent.… Expand

I found the first season very captivating, it managed to attract the public, it made us curious, wanting more. The second is with no doubt my favorite, and it's hard to fight the first season when it's very successful, but the audience seems to have gotten even bigger, the narrative has become more interesting, they managed to bring fundamental elements while keeping the P4L lifestyle. Already in the third, unfortunately, my thoughts/opinions were downgraded a lot, although after two intense seasons you already fell in love with the characters and manage to get hooked on the same narrative for a few more episodes, but in general I found more of the same, unnecessary melancholy, I think they worried more about "giving" what the public wanted and not what would be best for the series, the characters for me lost much of their essence unfortunately. As it was an average season after two good seasons, I believe that if they review the mistakes made and trace new ways and new adventures for the pogues, I'm sure it will be that great series again.… Expand

There is a little bit of a slow start but once you get into it (which doesn't take long!) you can't stop watching.

Brought me lots of different emotions and some scenes were good enough to make me cry. Definitely a young adult target audience. Overall, a really enjoyable watch that has left me wanting a second series, exploring mystery, action and a couple of love triangles. A good teen drama.… Expand

Loved the cast but the show is overall too cliched and over-reliant on tropes like the preppy rich kid versus the bad boy trying to steal his girlfriend. Also awkwardly paced, with the majority of the season dragging and the last few episodesLoved the cast but the show is overall too cliched and over-reliant on tropes like the preppy rich kid versus the bad boy trying to steal his girlfriend. Also awkwardly paced, with the majority of the season dragging and the last few episodes covering too much in too short a time frame. As a whole, however, it was a fun bout of escapism that was hard to look away from. I’ll be keeping an eye out for season 2… Expand

Some of the decisions they make are excruciatingly annoying. You find treasure, you naturally bag it. when pope fell sick, they all naively went with him without leaving at least two of them to secure the Cross, to ensure what happened to the gold doesn't happen to the cross. Yet when they were stranded in the forest, two went to get a recue vehicle and some stayed with the van. You naturally stay with treasure, not abandon it after all the struggle experienced in finding it. That emptied reality from the story and left me angry. couldn't watch beyond 2/9. And how can you give a sick guy to drive you?… Expand

The occasional screw up is forgivable, it is a tv show they have to build plot, but the never ending trail of building up characters to be smart geniuses & haven’t them drop the ball every time is tiring. The main cast are the second most compelling part of the show. I find myself rooting for the “bad guys” as they are for more interesting than the teens. Overrall I wouldn’t recommend this show, as when you get interested it will just let you down in the end… Expand
