Part two of season four of the Netflix original television series, “Outer Banks” was recently released, and the question is: is the show falling off or getting back on track?

After the first part of the season, fans were left wondering what direction the show was going in. For those who haven’t watched the show, it is based in Outer Banks, North Carolina where a group of friends put themselves in danger throughout the series to hunt for various treasures. They embark in many conflicts between higher class teenagers, lots of action, and mysteries that never seems to end.

The season follows them having to solve yet another mystery of the searching for “Blackbeard’s gold.” After being asked by characters West Genrette and his son-in-law, Chandler Groff. They took on this adventure thinking it would be like their past ones, but the information they find is not only surprising, but story changing, in ways one wouldn’t have thought of.

Many think that the first part of the season was a bit slower than previous seasons, and although one could suggest this as true, we have to take into consideration that the show was released in two separate parts, so yes, it might have felt slower, but the ending really makes up for it.

The creators of the show definitely know how to treat the audience like a horse and dangle a carrot in front of them. Meaning, when we as the audience think the friend group has solved or achieved something, we are surely wrong; there is almost always an unexpected twist. Watching it makes one want to throw their hands up in the air.

On that note, this season’s ending is definitely left on a cliffhanger and could have one in disbelief.

Due to the last episode, the question if the show is falling off or getting back on track, still remains. Perhaps season five will continue the show on a good note and maybe the show will revive itself to what it once was.
