Bailey is in top form; everything she does as Kiara is visceral and raw and will have you fighting tears. .... It's when they're back in Kildare that the story gets a little messy and overstuffed, unfortunately.

Outer Banks is still ridiculously addicting to watch — only soap operas can rival the twists on this show — but after so many years, the finale should have given viewers a bit more to chew on. .... With so little introspection, it doesn't feel like these characters have fundamentally changed in any way since we first met them.

What the final season offers is a hodgepodge of stories that don’t always connect, and ultimately have no narrative use except to keep the Pogues hustling to survive until they are finally allowed to do so.

They way they handled JJs death was incredibly cruel, he should have never died in the first place, than they teased of a possible resurrection just to not make it happen, he was horrifically abused his whole life, just to be taken for granted in season 4 and then murdered by his other abuser, he never got his happy ending and all he wanted was a home, it was incredibly unfair, unjust, devastating and sends a terrible message to victims of abuse, not to mention the only pouge that showed proper grief was Kiara it’s just terrible and I can no longer watch back any of the seasons of what I used to call my favourite show because of how cruelly it ends they made a terrible mistake, if any of them deserved peace and a happy ending JJ deserved it the most, incredibly upset and angry with how they handled the later seasons of this show
