Outer Banks season 3 takes John B's season 1 story and completely flips it on its head – in a manner that creates a fair amount of tragedy for the character. Outer Banks season 3 lives up to the version of the franchise set up in the show's first season, with all the focus on adventures, treasure, and friendship that the series has become known for. However, the season also branches the franchise out in some ways, and add complexities to characters and relationships along the way, creating some interesting new storylines.
