Hunting treasure isn't the most lawful and noble thing to do. The family-like-best friends of the Pogues gang don't even bat an eyelid when their friend goes missing for days, characters conveniently appear out of nowhere, and whenever the plot refuses to move forward, a new character gets introduced, just like that.

Yet they've got nothing on the writers of the series when it comes to laziness.

Though the prime focus should have been on the treasure hunt, the writing is all over the place and what we get on screen is an unsuccessful crossbreed of Minnale ( Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein in Hindi) and Thulluvadho Ilamai (minus the shirts and Ramesh Kanna).įor a major portion of the runtime, we see the teens chilling on beaches, relaxing on their island or taking peaceful siestas. It's pretty much an American version of our Student of The Year. Other problems with Outer Banks include getting 22-year olds to play 16-year olds, only they look and act 27. You only have to look straight into the camera for an extra three seconds with a dead expression. If you want to be the bad guy, the bar is even lower. If you want to be the damsel in distress aka the heroine, just smile incessantly and if you hear thunder, immediately jump and hug the hero.

All you need to do is stick to simple instructions. If you think that's an overstatement, let me introduce you to the world of Outer Banks. Starring: Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss and Rudy PankowĬreators: Josh Pate, Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke I expected this teenage drama to be engaging and refreshing going by the promos, but my entire binge-watching exercise was only a harsh reminder that I shouldn't have turned my back on Chithi and Shaktimaan. At a time when our TV channels have begun retelecasting old favourites, I stumbled upon Netflix's Outer Banks.
