![]() ![]() Really, Wheezie? You don’t have any questions? You’re not at all concerned about the fact that you saw your dad explode into a million tiny pieces and now he’s just standing in front of you? You’re not worried that your brother is clearly Michael Myers and Patrick Bateman combined? Wake up, Wheezie! 40. She’s gotta be 13 years old at this point, and yet, after her father returns from seemingly being blown up in a boat explosion (more on this later), and after her brother and stepmom clearly kidnap Sarah, Wheezie’s still like, “Hey big sis, guess what?! We’re going on a vacation!” If it turns out there’s a Casper situation going on here-and this is Outer Banks, it could happen-you all owe me money.īut if Wheezie isn’t a ghost (big if), then I’m gonna need a little more critical thinking from her. For stretches of Season 2, it almost seems like she’s a ghost? Seriously-no one ever knows where she is, and then once in a while she’ll just pop up out of thin air. Sarah’s little sister, Wheezie, continues to be a mystery. I hope he makes it to Panama or wherever he was escaping to and never comes back. Second of all, this guy is one of the worst humans on Outer Banks (and that’s saying something). ![]() Was he about to call a foul? In prison basketball? JJ’s Dadįirst of all, JJ’s dad’s post-up game is WEAK. The look on her dad’s face after this, him having just returned from a run to Harris Teeter to find his wife and his daughter having a very aggressive conversation about the latter’s sex life, is one of the most heartbreaking things I witnessed in Season 2. Oh yeah, speaking of compassion: Kiara also has sex with Pope-a guy who’s clearly in love with her-and when he asks “Why me?” she literally says, “Why not you?” Frankly, I’m pretty sure Kie just wanted to bone a Pogue so that she could say she did. The way she flaunts her Pogue-ness, or whatever, is completely off-putting she has this same argument with her mom twice:Īnd it’s like, OK, bro, your mom doesn’t really care what little nicknames you’ve given yourself-she’s more so concerned that her 16-year-old daughter has been unreachable for multiple days and that she’s hanging out with a guy who’s been charged with first-degree murder. Look, I know ranking one of Outer Banks’ main characters second to last-below crooked cops, evil old ladies, and actual murderers-might seem harsh. All of these beautiful people absolutely have parasites and/or infections that will surely kill them before Ward Cameron ever does. All of these beautiful people absolutely reek. Kiara goes into a sewer that is definitely full of fish guts and human feces, and at most she merely rinses off afterward. Sarah Cameron spends two-plus episodes walking around with a gunshot wound that was operated on so poorly that she almost died John B is legit caked in dirt until about the midway point of the season. ShoweringĪs pointed out on this very website by Jodi Walker: NO ONE ON THIS SHOW EVER SHOWERS. ![]() Grab a PBR, find a hammock, watch out for alligators, and dig in. What follows is a ranking of everything that makes up Outer Banks’ Outer Banks in Season 2. While still remaining completely batshit-this season includes hijackings, fake deaths, mythical shrouds, and even more of Denmark Tanney’s treasure- Outer Banks once again presents a world that is both bewildering and beguiling.Īnd so, once again, we must document this world, since it is surely not the one the rest of us live in. Slowly but surely, however, the show finds its groove once again and lets more of those winning, tiny details creep into frame. Season 2 of Outer Banks definitely doesn’t try to recover from the events of its predecessor-the first four episodes of the season barely allow you to catch your breath. What truly made Outer Banks so easy to fall for was its brick-by-brick world-building-the idiosyncratic language and terminology, the quirks of the high school class wars, the attention to detail in characters main and minor-but once you get to cop murders and buried treasure, it’s hard to go back to the small stuff. But such aggressive storytelling has its drawbacks too. Going into narrative warp speed the way the show did was stunning and undeniably enticing. By the end of the season, those kids had discovered millions of dollars worth of gold, a police officer had been shot and killed, and a boy and his overprivileged girlfriend had been lost at sea in the middle of a deadly storm. The first season of Outer Banks began as a story about gorgeous kids from the wrong side of the tracks (the Pogues) brushing up against the gorgeous rich jerks from the other side (the Kooks).
