After two seasons of action and suspense, Outer Banks is back for its eagerly anticipated third season, adding new adventures and danger to our beloved Pogues.

Directed by Jonas Pate, Outer Banks season 3 picks up where they left off. The main characters, John B, played by Chase Stokes, and Sarah Cameron, played by Madelyn Cline, continue on the run from her father and the Pogues on a dangerous unknown island. Outer Banks season 3 takes fans on an epic adventure full of danger, betrayal, and hope with new difficulties, and unexpected twists.

The plot introduces additional characters, and brings in enemies for the Pogues keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. This new season follows the format of the previous two seasons, it begins with a bang, slows in the middle, and then goes completely crazy and intense toward the conclusion. The plot continues with their treasure hunt and fighting off Carlos Singh, played by Andy McQueen, a new villain this season who ultimately wants the treasure all for himself.

This season’s performances are just as strong as past seasons. The chemistry and character growth of John B and Sarah in particular impress as they work through the difficulties in their relationship such as typical couple fighting. While they work through their relationship they also have to confront challenges such as escaping death many times, hiding from enemies, and surviving with the resources they have. All for the mission to recover the prestigious gold cross and follow the clues for the big treasure.

The writing and direction of the show are top-level. The pacing is perfect as each episode builds upon the last and keeps the story moving at an exciting pace. The dialogue is great for the scenes and creates depth and complexity in the characters and their relationships.

The cinematography and production design are outstanding, with the beautiful landscapes and seas of the Outer Banks. The green vibrant color of the tropical flowers, palm trees, and other tropical plants creates a contrast against the blue sky and ocean. One incredible scene in the episodes includes the airplane sequence that shows a view of the sea and the stunning shots of the characters on the forbidden island – both of which provide a fascinating viewing experience. In this scene, the angles shown both on the airplane flying and when it crashes in the sea, are amazing.

You have all you need in the final two episodes. You’ve all been waiting for answers, whether it’s about the buddy group couples, family problems, or whether they’ll ever uncover the big treasure. This season includes John B reuniting with his father, who is very annoying, the entire buddy group pairing up nicely, and the treasure discovered. What more could someone ask for?

The resurrection of Big John, when it was revealed that he was not dead at the end of season 2, was one of the season’s worst moments. While the first time John B and Big John meet is a pleasant reunion, Big John is an unpleasant guy because of his attitude towards people around him and the damage he did to his son by faking his death. He contradicts the show’s atmosphere in every way, and even though you’re supposed to believe he’s awful and leading John B off target, the audience just despised every second he was onscreen, as he ends up separating John B from his buddies for half the season.

It is worth noting that while many viewers thoroughly enjoyed Outer Banks Season 3, others found certain aspects of the show disappointing. Some viewers felt that the season’s specific plot points were overly unnecessary. Additionally, there were a few scenes that some viewers felt should have been left out. However, despite these criticisms, it is clear that Outer Banks Season 3 is necessarily being watched since it hooks its audience with its unique merge of adventure, romance, and intrigue.
