Blog posting - Representation


  The hit Netflix series "Outer Banks" explores the distinctions between the working-class "Pogues" and the prosperous "Kooks." The show's portrayal of these two social groups. Two main characters, John B. and Sarah Cameron, represent these social differences, but their stories also challenge the stereotypes of each class. Outer Banks explores themes of privilege, rebellion, and the struggle to overcome societal barriers through its characters.

  John B, the leader of the Pogues, A poor, orphaned teen with a taste for adventure, his character is defined by perseverance and a desire for justice. His character captures the struggles of working-class youth attempting to navigate a world of hardship and limited opportunities. John's quest to discover the truth about his father's disappearance and locate a hidden treasure represents his desire to be free of the constraints of his social class. Visually, the show contrasts his life.

 Sarah Cameron, on the other hand, is a symbol of the Kook class, but obstacles in her life challenge this. She appears to be a normal girl at first, taking pleasure in the perks of her position. Sarah rejects her family's wealth and corruption, though, and joins the Pogues as a result of her discontent with the other party. Her character growth is a reflection of the show's larger critique of expectations-defying behavior and class fluidity. The next picture, which shows John B. and Sarah escaping danger, perfectly expresses their friendship and defiance of social norms.
