"The show unfolds like a high-speed collision of Riverdale, The O.C., and Bloodline."

"The actual mystery of “Outer Banks” takes way too long to build up steam. By the middle of the season, the Pogues are still too distracted to push the narrative forward, and then the opposite problem happens with the final three episodes feeling downright hyperactive."

"It's hard to put a finger on the exact demo Outer Banks is going for. It's full of underaged drinking and drug use and the characters swear up a storm, but there's an oddly puritanical streak to the way the show depicts sex when it isn't ogling the beach bods of its teenage characters."
