Outer Banks
This report covers the full series (Seasons 1 through 5). Outer Banks is a fast-paced teen adventure about a group of friends hunting for treasure on the North Carolina coast, but it carries TV-MA content throughout every season, including heavy profanity, ongoing substance use by teen characters, frequent gun violence, and intense life-threatening peril.
Best suited for older teens (15+) watching with a parent who is ready to talk through the mature themes.
Episodes to know about
Teen characters drink beer and smoke from the very first episode, establishing it as a recurring baseline behavior throughout the series.
A man stabs himself in the arm and falsely blames a teenager; the wound is shown graphically with visible blood.
A teen character is electrocuted by a fence and thrown to the ground; later in the season the same character suffers an alligator bite shown briefly on screen.
