HEARTBREAKING NEWS : OUTER BANKS BRIDGE COLLAPSES DUE TO.. See more details…Netflix’s new teen drama Outer Banks shares plenty of DNA with the teen soaps that came before it — the coastal beauty of Dawson’s Creek plus the class clashes of The O.C. mixed with some of the dramatic twists of One Tree Hill — but it turns out that the biggest element of the series, about a group of teens in North Carolina’s coastal Outer Banks barrier islands (or OBX), is a Goonies-esque treasure hunt that puts them in some very real danger (but with a very major prize at the end).
While the series takes place on the OBX, Outer Banks was actually filmed in South Carolina due to the controversial North Carolina bill barring trans people from using bathrooms that match their gender identities in state-run buildings (it has since been repealed).
What do these clearly twentysomething “teens” with fantastic bone structure and plentiful daddy issues get into while wearing bathing suits, crop tops, and little else? Oh, just some drug deals, gun possession, destruction of property, breaking and entering, multiple arsons, grand theft auto, and more — all while maintaining several different love triangles. It’s all the crazy drama of OTH, but with some major hunting-for-the-Declaration of Independence National Treasure intrigue. Let’s explore it all.
