Outer Banks is an adventure TV show that premiered on Netflix in April of 2020. It then gained its popularity around a year later in April of 2021. The show is about six young adults whose world is divided into two classes: the Kooks, who are the rich, wealthy people, and the Pogues who are the poor, unhinged people. The show focuses on the conflict between these two classes and how it gets in the way of them living peacefully together on an island in North Carolina. The characters are, John B, who lost his dad when he went on an expedition to find gold, but failed; John B’s childhood friend, J.J who is a rebellious kid that does whatever he wants, when he wants; and, their other good friend Pope, who is a smart, intelligent kid that tries to stay out of trouble. These boys are all Pogues, and all hang out together; another character is Kiara, who is a Kook. She spends time with the Pogues because she feels like she doesn’t fit in with the other Kooks, so she calls herself a Pogue. Finally, a girl named Sarah Cameron, who is a Kook. She is a very well known person since her father is very wealthy. Throughout the show, Sarah gains the trust of the Pogues and shows people that Kooks and Pogues are not different at all.
The show was so popular that all three of the seasons made it to Netflix’s global top 10 weekly list, and season 3 made a whopping 99 million hours viewed according to Netflix data (Forbes.com).
