Tale
On an island of rich and poor, teenager John B enlists his three best friends to hunt for a legendary treasure tied to his father’s disappearance. Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, and their “OBX” co-stars quiz each other on the best lines from their popular Netflix series. Was filmed on location in Charleston, South Carolina; it was originally supposed to be shot in Wilmington, North Carolina.
This show is ridiculously unrealistic, but to be honest, I don’t care
It’s obviously not meant to be the most serious show ever, so I’m totally okay with it being completely over the top. The main cast is very enjoyable to watch and does a pretty decent job with their acting (nothing exceptional, of course). The actors are way too old for the roles they’re playing, until Sarah said she was only 16 I wasn’t really sure how old they were supposed to be.
But whatever, it’s nothing new
Age appropriate casting is super hard, so I can’t really deduct points for that. I’m not completely done yet, but so far it’s fun, fast paced, enjoyable. Edit: After finishing the series I can’t WAIT for season 2.
Netflix, you did it again!
It’s gotten so much better with each episode, and honestly by the end it felt like a really high quality production, and it’s a really good set up for a potential second season. What impressed me the most was the quality of the dialogue, it was really believable. If you can get past the fact that they don’t look 16 at all, they definitely act like a bunch of stupid 16-year-olds.
