The second season of "Outer Banks" dropped on Netflix on July 30.
The show focuses on two groups of teenagers, Pogues and Kooks, engaged in class warfare.
Only one member of the show's teen cast is really a teen - everyone else is in their 20s.

The main character of "Outer Banks" is John B., a 16-year-old living on his own after the death of his father.
