Critics Reviews

John Anderson Wall Street Journal Any dramatic shortcomings will be overlooked by those attracted to the show's basic premise: young people living unsupervised, on the margins of society, but who still get to behave like they have a team of lawyers on retainer. Apr 22, 2020 Full Review Roger Moore Tribune News Service "Bloodline" with training wheels, "Scooby Doo" with swearing...leave this one to the kids. Rated: 2/4 Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Steve Greene indieWire Some of those later confrontations buckle under the weight of their plot connecting, but when "Outer Banks" dials its melodrama to its own sweet spot, there's enough fun to keep a story-hungry audience following along the trail. Rated: B- Apr 16, 2020 Full Review Pedro Paunero EscribiendoCine ... The series transcends pure melodrama and captivates with its story, characters and reach. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 7/10 Mar 8, 2023 Full Review William Tucker But Why Tho? A Geek Community Outer Banks Season 1 is a gripping young adult series that seems to combine National Treasure and Stranger Things. Netflix excels at placing their series within regions of the world that are underrepresented within the media. Rated: 7/10 Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Sarah Knight Adamson Sarah's Backstage Pass The sun-soaked scenery of the Outer Banks is a guilty pleasure. The teens are engaging and fun in this preposterous script. Rated: 3/4 Jun 7, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
