In Outer Banks the main players are split into two groups: the Pogues and the Kooks. They’re kinda like Sharks and Jets, without the dance-fighting. (Though who knows what Season 3 might bring!)
Down in Outer Banks, North Carolina, the Pogues seriously hate the Kooks and the Kooks seriously hate the Pogues. And it’s not a big town so all that tension is pretty much constantly simmering over. Though the bad feeling isn’t limited to the younger members of the community, the rivalry is at its strongest with the teen set — classic high school energy. Were you even in Outer Banks if a beach bonfire didn’t turn into a brawl?
OK, that all sounds intense, but what exactly is a Pogue? And what’s a Kook? And why do they despise each other enough to ruin a perfectly enjoyable evening at the beach? Let’s get into it.
