Outer Banks became the escape the entire world needed when it premiered in April 2020. The show centers around John B. and his friends JJ, Pope, and Kiara (or Kie) as they try to solve a mystery involving gold and John B.’s missing father. While the puzzle they’re trying to solve is the hook of the show, what kept Outer Banks as one of Netflix’s most popular shows is the characters. Whether it’s the latest addition to the group Sarah Cameron and her murderous family or the multitude of crime bosses, there’s no shortage of interesting characters.
