A Pogue death shouldn’t have happened so soon and shouldn’t have been handled so carelessly. If JJ had to die, then sure. I think people would have accepted it, but this was not the way to write what was supposed to be a meaningful death. Revenge isn’t why I watched this show, but now with that as a focus in s5, I’m not sure if OBX is going to have the same dynamic and I’m not sure how they’ll wrap up the series as a whole, not just the revenge plot line.

As I enjoyed Season 4 of OBX, I agree that some of the creative choices weren't substantial. Rafe should've been killed off upon making up with Sarah. That would've successfully set the stage for Season 5, which stands to reason why it will be the final season. In addition, Cleo's vendetta with that henchmen was a major missed opportunity as I hoped she would avenge Terrance's death. Instead, she was robbed of this opportunity when she was wounded, and it was given to Pope. The henchmen could've wounded Pope, and that would've set Cleo up to take him out with the only shot she had left. Furthermore, the audience can see that the writers have decided to sink their own ship since JJ was killed off. I would like to have seen him not be bad at life in general. This should've been the season where he matures into being a better man than Luke and Groff put together. Instead, he ruined everything he touched and was murdered by his own father, who murdered his mother and left him with Luke, who was an abusive drug addict. It can be argued that Rafe would have been redeemed by stopping Groff from killing JJ after everything he put him and everyone else through. That would've successfully tied his story arc, therefore setting the stage for Season 5. Instead, here we are. What's left of the Pogues is seemingly a quest for vengeance apart from OBX. For all intents and purposes, Poguelandia is no more. There is no OBX without JJ. I guess we'll see what happens when the final season is released in late 2025 or early 2026.

I agree with your hot take about ending in season 3. I honestly thought that before the show aired like why are we continuing. I’m excited about 4 but like why. I the part of season 4 episode 1 where they set up Poguelandia should have been added to season 3 instead of the set up for Blackbeard and end it there . I enjoyed this season but like you I had a lot of issues with it. A lot of people seemed to be acting out of character. The Pogue v Kook felt forced Tooper didn’t seem like he wanted to bother the pogues. Honestly the “Kooks” were acting more like pogues than the Pogues in their conflicts. I liked your point about JJ and Kie breaking up I think instead of it being for them deciding to stay friends it could have more been Kie saying I love you but I can’t be with you anymore until your are a little less impulsive so figure your shit out and hopefully we can be together again down the road. I think their dynamic would have worked better because they could have been friends but both wanting more kind of. I will never forgive them for the Pope assaulting the cop it doesn’t make sense especially when Kies dad does few episodes later and as far as we know he is fine. One of my take aways from this season is if you name isn’t John B and the season focuses on you death may be at your door. Finally I will be watching season 5 only to see Groff die. What petty man kills his son because he didn’t give him the rope. Him saying that line when he killed it was why I hate that scene.

I don't like that john b is not the main character anymore, cause it feels so different,like s5 will be about jj again,but this time he is dead. Kiara is probably gonna be the main character trying to revenge jj. And all of this has lead to john b not being the main character(wixh is good in a sence that he can rest after everything he's been through in the past seasons)but him not having the development he deserves bothers me. Pope has the best character development in my opinion,next to sarah. Jj went completely backwards and kie I don't even know what she did this season besides waiting for jj the entire time. I like when characters get a good development, and i have seen it in kie and john b but it's not as good as it could be.

I didn't understand the choice to have him narrate season 4 if this wasn't a continuation of his storyline. JJ wasn't a strong enough lead, and this season showed that. They dropped us in a new plot with the same characters, but the show feels so disconnected. They should've been teasing this last season or kept JJ alive for a couple eps in the final season so things wouldn't feel rushed. I agree about character development. I've always felt that somebody on the writers team hates Kie because she gets left out when it comes to development, and one season she was so annoying shouting and causing a scene when she didn't need to. I think it was when they followed Ward or something, but she needs her own identity like she did in S1-2. And CLEO YES!!! We don't know much about her unless she shares it because they barely ask about her life before they knew her, so I wanna know more about her!!

No, seriously, as someone for whom Outer Banks hit this sweet spot between nostalgia for carefree childhood/teenage years and a comforting feeling of watching a fairy tale about a bunch of social outcasts with golden hearts triumphing over adversity at every turn, I don't remember ever being so annoyed by the writing of a relatively good, fun show (of course the standards of "prestige TV" don't apply here). In my vast viewing and reading experience, I've never seen writers destroying an important and inspiring character arc so mindlessly and clumsily. Personally I barely recognize JJ from previous seasons. In seasons 1-3 he, despite all of his antics, often behaved like a much more emotionally intelligent and mature person than John B or even Pope. Up to this point, he has been learning to open up more emotionally (season 1), he realized that he had a real family after all, even after being dealt a crappy hand of cards in life (season 2), and, finally, after some confusion, he saw that he actually had a chance of growing into an adult, being in a steady relationship and actually doing something with his life (season 3). After coming up with so many dumb plans in the previous seasons, he actually manages to skillfully pull one off to save Kie from a wilderness camp! He’s actually capable of doing that! That’s a real growth right there. Channeling destructive into productive. In season 4, he’s basically throwing all of his lessons away in one impressive swoop. After desperately wanting all throughout season 3 to have a stab at adulting, he suddenly becomes this Joker archetype - unhinged, emotionally closed off, stubborn and immature (he actually reproaches his old friend for being too responsible and behaving too much like an adult at one point, which really came out of nowhere if you ask me). All throughout this season his character is snapping at his friends for no reason, going in circles, repeating the same mistakes over and over again (as though his slow but steady growth in previous seasons didn't exist) and, which is the worst thing out of all, learning that his horrible family history will always be his fate. It's like a curse that have always been hanging over him, no matter what he did. It's a pretty terrifying message actually. And all of that just to artificially make his death inevitable and drive home a point about the value of loyalty and true friendship, which ultimately felt chillingly hollow... Really?!😖It's like seasons 1-3 and season 4 are two completely different shows... To add insult to injury, because of Jiara the writers obliterated Kie's character arc along the way (which makes the whole thing even worse considering that the next season will be basically her season). It was only logical for a tough love friend who was constantly challenging JJ to do better (we had a whole damn season of her making him apologize for the wallet he stole from her dad after all!) transforming into a tough love partner that he actually needed. Instead, we get an uncharacteristically weak, diluted version of her character who’s constantly forced to meekly follow his antics and catch up with him on his path of self-destruction. This strange and inconsistent characterization leads to one of the most ridiculous and unconvincing scenes of the whole season, when JJ is mindlessly drinking on the boat and behaving like an immature brat, while Kiara pretends that his character doesn’t exist. I can’t possibly imagine not only somebody who has been in an 18 month (!) relationship but actually Kiara from previous seasons to simply stand aside and watch in this situation. There’re countless examples of such weird inconsistences in how the characters interact with each other all throughout this season. The more I think about it, the more gaps are staring at me right back - and the problem is precisely in the character-writing, which is at the core of this show. Some commenters justify all of this by the importance of raising takes. Well, following the same logic, JK Rowling should have killed Ron Weasly or Hermione Granger to make the stakes real. Raising stakes for the sake of what exactly? To turn this show into a Shakespearean drama? And as a writer myself I don't think that fans wishing for a magical Blue Crown to bring JJ back are delusional. All of this writing mess can only be justified if the show is ready to step up and finally embrace the fact that it's been a fairy tale from the start, that it's amazing at what it does but ever so slightly ridiculous. For example, with all of the talk in town about exploring the relationship between Rafe and "dark" Kiara, I would 100% watch a storyline in which JJ bravely travels from the underworld to prevent this from happening🙃 However, after reading the interviews with creators I got an impression that they're taking their show a little bit too seriously... I really want to be proven wrong! Because if a serious, high stakes drama is what this show is now aspiring to, I don't think that these writers are up to the task... They should have stayed in their lane.

I also didn't understand people saying they raised the stakes by killing off JJ when everyone from the friend group has been held at gun point at some time or another and survived. Seasons 1-3 feel like a completely different show, while season 4 feels hallow, like you said, which is an excellent way to describe it. There are reports that Netflix wants to do a spin-off, which should've been the next phase for this show with cameos if needed. Now we have to deal with the aftermath of a season that feels disconnected from the series. I wish they made better writing choices and reevaluated the dynamics.

@@briianasimone Thank you so much for your kind words! I really enjoy your reviews and reaction videos. ❤ I'm grateful to the writers for leaving season 3 with an open ending, so I can comfortably pretend that the rest of the show doesn't exist. 😅 They also left plenty of breadcrumbs that could inspire fanfiction for years to come. 😛 One sleepless morning, I even came up with an alternative storyline using elements from season 4 as building blocks. 😅 In my version, more or less the same events happen, but the characters don’t find the amulet, and there aren’t any goofy bad guys chasing after it. After betraying his son, Luke tries to make it up to him by revealing JJ’s true parentage himself. Groff remains a psychopath, but a more realistic one-not some international man of mystery. 😅 He killed his wife out of petty jealousy and abandoned JJ because he delusionally believed JJ wasn’t his real son. Wes Genrette doesn’t know JJ is his son, as Groff manipulated him all his life. Groff’s goal is to inherit Goat Island. Shoupe personally knew Larissa Genrette. Meanwhile, Rafe completely breaks down after his father’s death, loses his money and girlfriend, becomes a social outcast, and eventually joins the Pogues, realizing how empty his life has become. Kiara, not Sarah, discovers she’s pregnant in the first episode. 🙂 To add more drama, JJ and Luke go to Wes Genrette out of desperation to tell him the truth. Groff, fearing he’ll lose everything, kills Wes and frames JJ, claiming that JJ and Luke tried to rob him. The whole town believes it due to their reputations and that infamous video of JJ threatening to "kill them all." Now, it's up to the Pogues to save JJ by proving Groff actually murdered his wife. Is this storyline still super ridiculous? Yes! But it would tie up several loose ends: It would add complexity to Luke's character and explain his actions. It would fix the absurdity of Wes Genrette supposedly knowing JJ was his grandson yet suspecting nothing about Groff while living in the same house. 😅 I’m not usually a fan of pregnancy storylines, but it would make sense for a couple like Jiara, especially since Kie has always been the group's “mum.” 🤭 It would also impact their growth-JJ couldn’t keep acting recklessly once he knows he’s about to become a parent. It also sets up Kie’s reconciliation with her parents. The storyline of JJ being falsely arrested would build on the foreshadowing in season 2, when he said he’d end up in prison someday. I imagine it as a learning moment for him-this time, instead of running away (or running from problems in general), he would trust his friends and girlfriend to make things right. (A nice parallel to season 2, when John B was in prison.) My girl Kiara would finally take the spotlight, having the most at stake, and could step up as the group’s leader and fierce “mama bear.” Since this is JJ’s season, the storyline of him discovering his true parentage would tie in perfectly with the prospect of fatherhood, helping him come to terms with his identity. The Groff vs. Pogues showdown would allow us to dive deeper into Groff's villain origins while giving space for the Pogues' shenanigans in the spirit of seasons 1-2. The season’s “treasure” would be Goat Island, while Cleo’s storyline-getting kidnapped, meeting and losing Terrance, and becoming consumed by revenge-could serve as a backbone for the fifth and final season. The writers really did her character dirty, so season 5 could finally explore her backstory and motivations. It could be an exciting, globe-trotting adventure with the Pogues, possibly ending up on a deserted island again as a fun, full-circle moment. 😛 I’m still curious about season 5, but this will always be my personal canon, and maybe one day I’ll even write it all down. 🙃

There are reports of a spin-off happening, so they could've scrapped the last 2 seasons and just continued the OBX universe, in my opinion. Thank you for watching and commenting 💕

it isn't even proven to be about the actor leaving due to drama. Why do people believe tiktokers and gossip over what the actual actors and directors say? If you see interviews, they seem ok with each other. I doubt Rudy left because his gf didn't like the cast. Also it was said to have always been planned? could they have killed him off in a better way? most definitely, this death scene was unnecessary and badly written, but I am not blaming the actor and taking random tiktok videos as "proof." Also yes this seemed rushed, but so did everything about season three. I think season one and two had the best seasons and writing. Also, in my opinion, they could have made jj annoying this season to slowly make people ok with his death, because it did feel out of character it also could have been because Jj realized he had no future and everything good was slowly leaving him. I will be very annoyed if they make rafe and kie a thing next season, and if I am going to be honest, I don't even like rafe as a character. He is getting a redemption when in my opinion he is still a bad guy and psychotic.

@isabelsalcedo931 This season wasn't for me, and that's because of JJ. I don't think any amount of him being annoying should've led up to his death in this rushed way. Also, even if I didn't listen to gossip and tiktoks, there's clearly something off with the dynamic of JJ and Kie compared to previous seasons, which is evidence enough that something is wrong behind the scenes. They went from playful to barely looking at each other and acting like they didn't know each other. The handshakes and pats on the back are other examples of how stilted the relationship is. It is quite literally their job to make me believe in their characters, and this season, they sadly didn't. Which is sad because we have scenes on top of scenes from previous seasons to show they have it in them. It's absolutely fine to like characters or actors, but if a performance isn't hitting the mark, it isn't the viewers fault for noticing.

@@briianasimone@briianasimone I do understand, and even if I love JJ and Outer Banks... this season was not for me at all as well. Did not help that with zero warning and unprovoked, I got his death spoiled a couple hours into the release of part two, so honestly, it didn't hit with my emotions. I think they aren't as close, which could just be life happening and friends drifting away, or they have said they don't like the fans prying into their lives, making Rudy seem less enthusiastic about interviews and online content. Idk what it could be, but sadly you are correct. They didn't feel as close and lacked a bunch of on screen chemistry. It's a shame that they ruined a character like JJ, which I feel has led to so many people not liking his character as a whole. It's a bit repetitive with JJ spending all the money... he already did that in season one, so that was a useless plot tool. They clearly made JJ get rid of the money so that they have a reason to go broke again... leading them to find the blue crown and all that. It could have avoided this annoying character arc if they had just planned for a better ending. It is sad because I miss how cute and wholesome everyone was in seasons 1-3 and how close the cast was. I lowkey wish they didn't go the Jiara route, because there friendship was so cute. It felt slightly awkward in season three but now its apparent (especially the scene where Kiara is laying down on JJ at some point in part two. They could have kept with Jiara, but made it less forced (if that makes sense). I am sorry if I came off as aggressive. It was like 2 a.m., so my thoughts were jumbled, and rereading what I said made me sound mad. But I do see your point of view, and I feel like something happened. In general, I love some aspects of season four, but I was waiting to see the ending. Hopefully, they take a lot of lessons from how rushed and off seasons three and four were (season three was very good, in my opinion, but did feel rushed, and I caught multiple movie mistakes). Sorry for the rambling (I wrote two essays); hopefully, this is coherent. I just have mixed feelings about season 4. I felt JJ's death was not needed or poorly written.

@isabelsalcedo931 No worries, lol!! There was a vibe, but I know we all have our opinion on media and sometimes feel spirited about characters or shows we get attached to (me included). In general, it's just a show at the end of the day, so I rather agree or disagree about something so trivial in life than BIG things lmfaooo. But I agree with all of your points here. There was a chance to make this season just as good as the rest, but unfortunately, for a lot of reasons, it's not their best effort. Thank you for watching and commenting 💕

I’ve been WAITING for someone to say sm bad about this season. It is such an amazing show I love it soso much but it was so rushed? The production seemed so low? Blackbeard, the crown everything was mentioned and then they were just running? They go to morocco in episode 9…? I do not get it

Yes yes yes you're in good company here because while i LOVE the show, this season was not my favorite and I wanted to know if other people felt the same!!!. I've been seated since the premiere, so i know this isn't the same show I fell in love with. It felt rushed when it took 3 seasons to tell the Royal Merchant gold storyline with John B and his dad soooooooo why was this season so rushed. And like you said, all they did was run and get in trouble with the law. It just felt incomplete even though everything got wrapped up but Chandler and the mercenaries.

I feel like Outer Banks should have more episodes, like old teen series. So far, I haven't learned a thing about Cleo other than what I already knew from the previous season. They are just running from one place to another as usual.
@briianasimone16 күн бұрын
Okay, yes!!! I love Cleo because she fits in so well with the group, but we only get small bits and pieces. This season we learned that Terrence was a father figure to her and then the very next episode he was dead :/ idk if someone has daddy issues in the writers room, but why are all of the daddies dead 😭😭 Pope's parents are too smart to get caught up so they're safe, but Kie that act of kindness with him pushing the cop at the marina might've been his last 😭🤣 thank you for watching and commenting 💕

Also… I didn’t understand why the hell JJ crashed out like that. I mean we get it you’re upset but why the hell would you vandalize these shops, which are most definitely not owned by kooks, like isn’t JJ supposed to be the ultimate pogue??? Then the journey across the ocean?! What the hell, how on earth do some randos make it across the Atlantic in a wreck like that? Without serious preparation Why tf did JJ not wear this fucking googles? He had them just at his neck for no reason

@mailosean lmfaoooo you ask great questions 😭😭 i think the downtown area was Kooks because Topper was helping during the scene after Sarah found out she was preggo. Now, why did JJ crash out... they just wanted a cool action-ish scene. I tuned it out because, like most things, JJ, i found it ridiculous. And the goggles 🤣🤣 i noticed he was wearing them and then suddenly wasn't???? He was just ANNOYING. Thank you for watching and commenting 💕

Agreed Season 3 was a great way to end the series. I didn't like how they killed JJ. I felt the writing to give Luke the baby seemed strange. Why leave another loose end in Luke? They made Groff a serial killer yet he left his infant son alive to only kill him later. The baby story line limits the time jumps they can do. I thought Rafe was the smartest character this season. With JJ gone, he will play the wild card next season. I feel Luke will kill Groff in the end. This show has the dads (no mattter how the dad's acted before) showing up big to protect the kids. What about the cop letting the kids chase Groff? He knew how dangerous he was. One question, in episode 6, Luke yells after JJ that there is more he has to tell him. Was it that Luke had made a deal to take back the property? Or something else?

Yessss season 3 would've been a perfect end, but now we have all of these loose ends to clean up with characters no one genuinely cares about. Exactly Groff being a serial killer who didn't kill his child, but killed his wife and mother of said child was so convenient. And please don't get me started on Shoup allowing these kids to put themselves in danger every season 😭😭 he's a horrible sheriff. Thank you for watching and commenting 💕
