	Media	Author	Review
		Chase Hutchinson Collider	"[3rd Season Review]: What are we even doing here at this point? (...) There is a tipping point where even the most trashy of television can go from being potentially ridiculous fun for the right audience to just plain trash"
		Adam Lock Ready Steady Cut	"[3rd Season Review]: [Its] swashbuckling action sequences and surprisingly effective romances often elevate this teen drama into trashy, guilty pleasure territory, but overall it is a morally-grey melodrama that lacks any real depth (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		CT Jones Rolling Stone	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Outer Banks' buries itself in ridiculous season 3 (...) [It] fails to find a compelling reason for [its] story to continue"
		Maggie Fremont TV Guide	"[3rd Season Review]: [It] isn't going to suddenly win over new fans, but those who have been enjoying the insanity since Season 1 should come out of it mostly pleased with the whole thing"
		Christina Izzo AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: It's becoming all too obvious that, even with its future mapped out, 'Outer Banks' doesn't know where it's going"
		Paul Tassi Forbes	"[3rd Season Review]: None of this works. It's a bad season of a show that at least used to be better than this. It feels like 'Outer Banks' has no real plan going forward"
		Steve Greene IndieWire	"[2nd Season Review]: When 'Outer Banks' gives [the Pogues] some breathing room to learn about and from each other that comfort makes for something both grounded and satisfying"
		Allison Keene Paste Magazine	"[2nd Season Review]: The show is ultimately only interested in violence; even characters who are in love don’t share more than one chaste kiss throughout the entire season, but they are beaten to hell multiple times"
		Gwen Ihnat AV Club	"[2nd Season Review]: The real draw of 'Outer Banks' is its sense of fun and outlandish adventure—like an older 'Goonies' with more death-defying stakes attached"
		Jordan Lyon Ready Steady Cut	"[2nd Season Review]: Full of the illogical drama that season 1 was known for, 'Outer Banks' does much of the same, providing an entertaining but not thought-provoking watch (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Nola Ojomu Metro	"[2nd Season Review]: It is the portrayal of unwavering friendship and loyalty that is the heart of this ridiculously addictive series.(…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Greg Wheeler The Review Geek	"[2nd Season Review]: Overall, if you were a fan of season 1 then you’ll undoubtedly find a lot to like here"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] veers between stupid, ridiculous and, in little bursts, fun."
		Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"Inconsistent but generally fun (...) The young cast here is surprisingly charismatic (...) Consider it 'Pandemic Worthy'."
		Kayla Cobb Decider	"In between its crazy adventures and endless bathing suit scenes lies one of the most fun teen dramas that has premiered in months."
		Daniel Hart Ready Steady Cut	"[A] series that with some writing consistency could be considered a satisfactory success. Its convoluted quality in the first half is what lets it down. (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Nicole Hill Den of Geek	"A successful coming-of-age story amid an intriguing mystery (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya AV Club	"[It] is incredibly fun (...) But the show’s biggest mistake is its tendency to prioritize the hunt over the hunters (...) While the acting is solid across the board, weak stabs at transcending tropes and stock types never reach their full potential."
		John Serba Decider	"Slick and smartly crafted, the first episode of Outer Banks is likely to hook a lot of viewers."
		Richard Lawson Vanity Fair	"A fun premise is hampered by clunky writing—but you could do worse during quarantine."
		Tess Cagle The Daily Dot	"[It] has it all: class warfare, a high-stakes treasure hunt, and forbidden romance—making it one of the platform’s most binge-worthy TV shows this spring (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
