still on obx rewatch.... i can't believe they let 17yr old john b out of jail and told him to go home like they weren't seizing his home like 3 days ago. no parents no guardians no nothing. i love this show

@paIeseptember when john b and sarah came back to obx in s2 after they deadass were given entire funerals and everyone just acting like it's any other day is TOP TIER TV

ik outer banks and actually tackling the themes of classism they set up to tackle was always a losing game but rewatching i feel like s1 at least had a grasp of what they wanted to say about the types of people that grow up in the ways john b and jj especially grew up, compared to people like kiara, and then rafe/sarah. like i genuinely liked what they were doing in s1 at least on like a surface level. and then it went so downwards like how do you have a scene of jj and kiara arguing, he says "you DON'T get it, bc you're a kook" and then have kiara set in the right against that because she "lived with them in a cave" when even in s1 there was already a clear boundary that while they're all "pogues" in a sense of the world but that kiara was miles different from jj, john b, and even pope. there's a clear difference in how the motivation that jj and john b get from the prospect of getting the gold (need to live) vs kie and pope who have some idea and plans of getting off the cut (or just doing things differently, as kie was never even ON the cut). i feel like outer banks rlly lost the heart of itself when it started to focus on which dad was more crazy and evil or whatever, even if that was under a blanket of "everybody wants the money". and the dialogue and pacing in s1 is much more stable as the teen drama it sets out to be. why tf are you in active warfare in s4. also like idgaf about jj like that but AGAIN with the themes the show set out tackle, killing the one guy who arguably was in the worst place from start to finish is so [crying emoji]. ik that wasn't their plan rudy pankow is Just Like That but it really seems to bleak when rewatching s1, jj is so desperate all the time for understandable reasons, and you're telling me he just gets screwed over by his dad AGAIN and then just dies? crazy. CRAZY.

the obx writers really don’t know what to do with the show and it’s obvious. s1 wasn’t perfect but it was BY FAR the best season of obx, because at least then the writers weren’t completely ignoring the obvious classism going on between the kooks & pogues—which is clearly the driving force of the feud. but in s4 it just felt like they were pitting the groups against each other for the hell of it. sure it’s obvious that one group is more wealthy than the other, but it’s all surface level shit that isn’t expanded upon. so it just makes it seem like we’re watching high school drama play out when it’s so much more than that. and don’t get me started on how the writers ignore the racial context of the show a majority of the time, only to suddenly become aware of it when they wanna make you hate someone. three of the main characters are people of color and yet that is somehow just ignored???
sure it’s nice to set shows in worlds where racism doesn’t exist, but in a show about classism, you just can’t do that. and it’s infuriating to watch. like ur telling me pope’s friends brought him to an old slave plantation and nobody found that odd? or thought to check in with him about it? or kie?? and w/ the jj thing… not only was he a fan favorite, but he was, inarguably, the worst off within the group, and killing him off the way they did, and WITHOUT showing him at least being happy/no longer having to live in fear sent a message. a REALLY BAD message.
