Co-created and executive-produced by Jonas and Josh Pate and Shannon Burke, “Outer Banks is set on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, where there is an ongoing rivalry on the island between the “Pogues” and the “Kooks.”

Both rivals include a group of teens who are basically opposites of one another.

The “Pogues” are a group of teenagers who all have different futures and affluences that grew up together and one of the members, John B., is aspiring to continue his father’s journey to find the gold of a sunken ship. 

The “Kooks” are a group of stuck-up rich teenagers who do nothing but terrorize the “Pogues” but what they don’t know if one of their own will turn to the side of the “Pogues” and fall into a relationship with John B.

The interesting thing about the “Pogues” is that each member has their own story and their own view on life. They each experience their own challenges, some harder than others. 

Despite their challenges and despite being intimidated by the “Kooks,” John B. and his friends find the gold, but unfortunately that is right where their problems begin. 

Some of the best parts about this show is that it is the representation of every teenager’s dream and shows what a summer would look like if teens weren’t on their phones or submerged into technology for the the months they are let free. Their adventure shows how well they take advantage of their freedom and what they do with it. 

One of the few downfalls of the show is that it also represents some of the terrible things kids go home to, and how even some kids are straight up abandoned. It portrays the hard truth of some teenagers’ lives, but they do a good way of turning it around and showing how the teenagers make the best of it. 

Each episode of “Outer Banks” keeps you wanting more and more. People should follow the characters’ interesting adventures on their free time in quarantine.
