![]() When my 11 year old asked to watch outer banks I quickly said no because of the rating being MA 15+ but I soon decided to read some reviews and then said that it would be OK for my son to watch this series, in the end he told me he loved it but I made sure he told me things that had happened that were inappropriate. Try to avoid this if you are concerned about any of the above themes I've just written about. ![]() Watching it with your kids and pointing out the concerns could be done.if you want your children to be annoyed with you. I have not come across any positive messages at this point. Geez girl, why didn't you just put out so the boy didn't get mad?! There's a scene where they find a gun and then they are waving it around like it's a toy and playing with it, pointing it at their friends. One girl stopped intimacy and the boy got very angry and basically said things implying that she was confusing or couldn't make up her mind.something like that. Lack of boundaries/consent passed off as normal or playful is not a good message for anyone. For example, one girl was telling a boy no to jumping off the roof into the pool (while he was holding her) and he didn't respect her and did it anyway. There are parties, drug use, a LOT of violence and fighting, language (language doesn't bother me), and the final straw was poor and dangerous examples of relationships. The characters are meant to be around 16 years old. I've watched the first few episodes and have not seen any "good messages". In fact, that might be one of the best elements of OUTER BANKS- friendship and loyalty.I do not understand the parents who have given this good reviews and watched it with their pre-teen children. Sometimes there’s blood and other times there isn’t.Īs with any mystery/drama series, there’s a significant amount of lying but filmmakers do a great job at making sure their viewers know who’s trustworthy and not. Teens use guns, one jealous boyfriend tries to drown a peer of his, a father physically beats his son to the point his son almost kills him in anger, kooks beat up Pogues for no reason. Violence also goes hand in hand with the script. JJ is a big fan of weed, too, and smokes in multiple episodes and sometimes gives joints to friends. One 19-year-old character named Rafe, who’s a Kook with daddy issues, deals drugs and encourages his friends to snort cocaine at a party. Not to mention, there’s a fair amount of underage drinking that is not rebuked by parents. Hundreds of curse words infect the script, including taking the Lord’s name in vain. OUTER BANKS has a regrettable amount of foul language with a particular adoration for the S-word. Just when you’d think some Christian content is coming into play, John B and Sarah have sex in a church bell tower, although it’s implied and not depicted. As for sex content, one female character named Sarah Cameron almost loses her virginity to her boyfriend but decides not to go through with it. Since OUTER BANKS centers on teens during the summer, there’s upper male nudity and girls in bikinis in virtually every episode. However, they aren’t the only ones hunting for riches.įor all its intrigue, though, there are considerable cautions. One day, the foursome come across a sunken boat which spurs them on a treasure hunt that they hope will lead them to $400 million. So, at 16, he’s living by himself and cruising the banks with his three pals, JJ, Pope and Kiara. His dad is lost at sea and his legal guardian bailed on him. The protagonist, John B, is essentially an orphan. OUTER BANKS debuted on Netflix in mid-April 2020 and quickly drew a large crowd because of the intriguing storyline. The Kooks are the rich kids while the Pogues are lower to middle-class. Netflix’s teen drama series OUTER BANKS series follows two groups of teenagers in North Carolina - the Pogues and the Kooks.
