The Italian drama Summertime - yes, you'll be reading subtitles for this one - is equally picturesque, possibly even more so, and also features an all-consuming love story. The best thing about Outer Banks is easily its setting, which makes everyone who watches it immediately want to escape to the Carolinas (although the show is set in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, it's filmed outside of Charleston, South Carolina). Spinning Out lasted just one season, which makes it low commitment (though I firmly believe it would have been renewed if Netflix had not buried it on New Year's Day), and for figure skating fans, you can't beat Johnny Weir playing one half of a catty rival pairs team. Beneath the sparkles and illusion netting, though, is a deeper story about a fractured family and the toll mental illness can take. The series, which follows Kat as she attempts to revitalize her career by becoming a pairs skater with Evan Roderick's rich and naturally talented Justin, is the perfect amount of extra for those who miss Outer Banks' sheer ridiculousness, and it even features a romance between the central duo. Much like John B, Kaya Scodelario's Kat Baker is on a mission, only instead of seeking out buried treasure and a missing father, she's looking to find a way back to an elite figure skating career after a dangerous fall during competition forced her to make a detour. You can think of Spinning Outas the winter version of Outer Banks, in that there is a lot of ice and snow involved and there is also so much melodrama you'll be smashing the play button for the next episode even before the credits roll.
And while there is no search for lost gold, just a great show about the trials of young adulthood, there will likely never be another show like it.
This often translated to Dawson and his circle of friends speaking like adults - sometimes pretentiously so. It's a lot of hormones in one place, but the WB classic took a view of teens that shows rarely did at the time, which is that their problems were just as important and just as serious as those adults were facing. Set in the small town of Capeside, Massachusetts (but filmed in Wilmington, North Carolina), the coming-of-age drama follows Dawson ( James Van Der Beek), an aspiring filmmaker Joey ( Katie Holmes), his best friend and love interest Pacey ( Joshua Jackson), his other best friend and Joey's other love interest and Jen ( Michelle Williams), the New York transplant who lives next door, who is also Dawson's love interest, as they experience the triumphs and challenges of growing apart, growing together, and growing up. Netflix advertised Outer Banks as Dawson's Creek meets The Goonies, which, if you're trying to appeal to today's youth, might not have been the best idea have today's teens seen either of these pop culture touchstones? If not, Dawson's Creek should be the first stop after watching Outer Banks. Katie Holmes, James Van Der Beek, Michelle Williams, and Joshua Jackson, Dawson's Creek Warner Bros. That said, Riverdale makes Outer Banks look normal, which is why it's so great.

You really have to suspend your disbelief and know how to laugh to watch this one, but if you enjoy Outer Banks, I have a feeling you already know how to do that. Seriously, it's gone in so many wild directions since its first season, sending some characters to prison and some to war, and getting others involved with the mafia (I'm honestly barely scratching the surface) that it absolutely earns the distinction of being TV's most "sure, why not!" show. Camila Mendes, KJ Apa, Cole Sprouse, and Lili Reinhart, Riverdale Diyah Pera/The CWĬome on, if we're talking ridiculous teen TV, what better example is there than Riverdale? What began as a fun, self-aware, occasionally eerie show about the trials and tribulations of Archie Andrews ( KJ Apa) with a murder mystery side plot has since evolved into something so utterly insane it's actually really difficult to describe it in just one short paragraph.
