The Pogues that viewers watched run around Kildare County for years finally finished their ride after six years on the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teen adventure show \u201cOuter Banks,\u201d which first aired in April of 2020 and was an instant success, released its fifth and final season in August. For the past six years, \u201cOuter Banks\u201d has been one of Netflix\u2019s juggernaut shows, with the fifth season raking in over 9.4 billion views worldwide in the first four days of streaming. It quickly jumped to Netflix\u2019s No. 1 show worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the death of the beloved character JJ at the end of Season 4, the long-awaited Season 5 picks up where Season 4 left off. The Pogues are stranded in Morocco after losing the treasured blue crown to Chandler Groff. Kiara, JJ\u2019s significant other, is processing the death of her lover and is seeking revenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the rest of the crew are looking to get the blue crown back, and instead, they come across the clues to a new treasure, an ancient scytale, which, according to legend, can bring back the dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiara wants to search for this treasure to bring back JJ, while the main characters, John B and Sarah, are trying to settle down and get ready to welcome their baby into the world. After 10 episodes, they manage to get the scytale and the blue crown, only to find out that it does not work and that the legend was just that: a legend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pogues return to their home in Kildare County only to come across the long-lost gold from the Royal Merchant they found in Season 1 and was stolen from them. With this newfound wealth, they settle down and live happily ever after.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Outer Banks\u2019 has never not entertained. From a motorcycle chase on castle walls to a rockslide explosion, never say the show didn\u2019t try something at least once,\u201d critics from TheWrap said, discussing how Season 5 concluded the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Season 2 of \u201cOuter Banks\u201d has the highest number of episodes with the best IMDb ratings. Season 5 has the overall highest-rated episode, with the series finale coming in at a 9.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The end of this show means the end of an era for the many who started watching it when the pandemic took over the world. With the Season 5 release marking the series wrap, fans are sad to see these characters leave the screen permanently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt its core \u2014 for the people watching and for us shooting it \u2014 (friendship) is what it has always been about,\u201d Madelyn Cline, who played main character Sarah, said after the wrap of \u201cOuter Banks\u201d Season 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
