Outer Banks, also known as OBX, is a tv series about a conflict between two different groups of teenagers called the Pogues and Kooks. Pogues are considered the local working-class, while the Kooks can be described as the more wealthier residents. This show goes through a long adventure of the teens who are in search of a lost treasure. 

The main character and group leader of the Pogues, John B. Routledge, is set on finding out what happened to his missing father and is determined to find him alongside his friend group of Pogue teenagers. During their chase, they find out that John B’s dad is tied to a legendary treasure of gold from the Royal Merchant. Because of this, they start to be chased by a group of wealthy Kooks and police. The friend group of Pogues start to face difficult hardships of money, friendships, loss, and love. Some other popular main characters alongside John B. include: JJ Maybank, Pope Heyward, Kiara Carrera, and Sarah Cameron. 

The main idea this show is trying to represent is freedom from feeling controlled. Pogues in the show do whatever they want, no matter what consequences there may be. It sometimes happens to leave them in bad situations, but they have important values that aren’t influenced by anyone around them. This is an important theme towards viewers because it shows that you should be able to do what you want without influence from others.
