With its focus on youth culture and solid storylines, Netflix’s “Outer Banks” has continued to charm teen and young adult viewers around the world.

The show follows members of the Pogue and Kook cliques in the outer banks of North Carolina. In particular, it focuses on the characters of JJ, Kiera, John B. and Pope. The four friends come together to raise hell and to eventually find a lost treasure.

Some of the highlights of “Outer Banks” are the character development, the storylines, and the location.

The Pogues (ne’er-do-well surfer kids) and the Kooks (trust fund babies) are not necessarily one-dimensional characters, which is a breath of fresh air in teen dramas such as this one. The show deals with a very clear class divide.

Another standout part of “Outer Banks” is the development of the Cameron family, which is the Royal Family of sorts in the Outer Banks. Rafe and Ward Cameron are two peas in the same pod in that they are both fairly manipulative and slimy. However, Sarah turns out to be the only sane member of the Cameron family.

One character I particularly enjoyed watching and wanted to see more character development with was Kelce. Kelce was portrayed to be in alignment with the Kooks, but he didn’t see very much development in season one.

John B.’s storyline with the Department of Children and Family Services is another stand-out aspect of “Outer Banks.” As an orphaned teenager, he faces DCFS scrutiny, and his caseworker is an ally to him throughout the season. I anticipate seeing how the DCFS situation progresses in future seasons.

Overall, the show is incredibly well-developed and tells an intriguing story. As someone who did not grow up around surf culture, so to speak, I enjoyed getting a glimpse into that particular world. I look forward to seeing how the characters within this series develop in future seasons. Without spoiling things, “Outer Banks” is truly a show to watch out for.
