A storm is brewing on the shores of Netflixs Outer Banks season 2 metaphorically speaking which means the adventure series teenage crew is back for a new season full of treasure hunting. Season 2 has them relocating to a new country after they were literally chased out of the OBX which promises more harrowing hijinks and more shirtless swashbuckling.
In the season 1 finale of Outer Banks head Pogue John B. Chase Stokes was on the verge of finding the buried gold that led to his dads demise until he was falsely accused of murder. Now he has on a boat heading to the Bahamas with his girlfriend Sarah Madelyn Clint who just learned her dastardly dad Ward Charles Esten is the one behind it all. Thats a lot to take in especially when you are literally a fugitive in a foreign country. Promise me you would not do anything stupid Sarah politely asks John B. in the season 2 premiere. No surprise he and the rest of the Pogues do some things that would definitely be defined as dumb but it just adds to the suspense of it all.
Each and every episode of season 2 is as knotty as they come which is why we are trying to make sense of all those twists and turns. With each recap we will also celebrate the MVP (Most Valuable Pogue giving a -deserved shout-out for whatever wild ridiculous resilient thing they do to stay one step ahead of their rivals, which still very much include the Kooks. So take a deep breath and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime. It’s definitely going to be a bumpy ride.
There is a larger point to John B.s philosophizing: Life being so short makes everything meaningful. Everythings just one time. This does not mean that Sarah wants to marry him though. Hello he has a teen with few prospects trapped on a steam ship going who knows where. And with a $50,000 reward out on him for killing a cop he has going to have to put those dreams of walking down the aisle on hold. Especially, once Terrence the captain of this ship realizes the precious cargo he has onboard. Well had onboard. The two teens manage to escape the boat before the cops nab them which begins an episode long goose chase.
We begin with a beautifully wood carved monument to John B. who is believed to have died. Of course he has not but as he reminds us through voiceover Everyone you know will die. What a bummer. As is watching the town pay their respects to Sheriff Peterkin Adina Porter who was killed by Sarahs brother Rafe Drew Starkey. A truth that only those on the tarmac that day know. John B. was one of them, which is why he has being framed for Peterkin’s death by Ward and is now sailing the high seas with Sarah also still alive. Got that?
