This season was classic Outer Banks, crazy scenarios, unbelievably perfect timing, and poorly thought-out plans. Which is why I love watching this show. The same ridiculousness that probably causes some to hate the show is the same reason why I enjoy it. One of the best parts of Outer Banks is the predictable unpredictability; you know shit will go down you, just don’t know what exactly will happen or how it will be fixed. And this season was chocked full of those exact scenarios.
For this season there were 2 things(good and bad) that stuck in my head. Weirdly enough the good thing that I really liked was how they portrayed El Dorado. All other shows and movies show El Dorado as being made up of grand gold temples and buildings, so I felt it was a really unique choice to have it be so simple compared to every other iteration I’ve seen. While it’s a problem in all the seasons this one tidbit was particularly annoying this season, that tidbit is of course the lack of communication between the Pogues. There were so many times when they should have just sent a text and problems could have been solved much quicker. Having more phone calls/texts also could have made things a tad bit more realistic. Even though realisticness is not what we’re looking for in Outer Banks, a little bit of it couldn’t hurt when defending the show to a hater. But even though it’s crazy, unrealistic, and super dramatic I love watching this show so I give it a 7.5 out of 10.
