The premiere features a beach party brawl in which the only reason Topper doesn’t bellow “Welcome to The OB, bitch!” at his vanquished foe is probably because creators Josh Pate, Jonas Pate and Shannon Burke assumed audiences would be able to fill in the blanks themselves. Sarah Cameron (Madelyn Cline), briefly formerly Kiara’s best friend and now her antagonist, is perhaps the queen of the Kooks, dating ultra-preppy Topper (Austin North), a WASP-y jerk so repellent he makes William Zabka’s pre- Cobra Kai version of Johnny Lawrence look reasonable and endearing.
If the Pogues are the scrappy poor kids in this landscape, their rivals are the Kooks, children of the resident upper class.

(Rudy Pankow), the troublemaking son of an abusive drunk Pope (Jonathan Daviss), the allegedly smart kid who never does anything smart the entire series and Kiara (Madison Bailey), technically more economically comfortable than her pals but allowed to tag along because they all seem to be in love with her. John B lacks all guardianship, but he has lifelong friends in J.J. John B (Chase Stokes) narrates and drives the story - and yet somehow, in 10 episodes, fails to generate a single Beach Boys reference even from older residents - as the son of a missing man obsessed with the Royal Merchant, a vessel sunk and vanished in 1829, but rumored to have gone down with $400 million in British gold. Our heroes are the Pogues, the blue-collar kids on an island fiercely divided between the haves and have-nots. Set in the Outer Banks of North Carolina - filmed with acceptable replication in South Carolina locations - the series is a story of class warfare and treasure hunting, not always in that order.
