Netflix original Outer Banks Takes On Location to a different place.
Maybe it was the 250 mile ferry route across land that was the final straw. Maybe it was the jungle like growth of the palmetto palms. Maybe it was that the show was obviously filmed in Charleston. Whatever the reason may be, as Samuel Spencer writes for Newsweek, the country is taking note of the obvious flaws in Outer Banks.
“Outer Banks on Netflix has had a troubled history with the real North Carolina Outer Banks (known to locals as OBX) that give the show its setting. The series was originally meant to shoot there, but decided to move to South Carolina after the controversial House Bill 2 (known as the “bathroom bill”) made North Carolina a political lightning rod.
Now, Outer Banks residents have been taking to social media to point out a big geographical error in the hit Netflix show. In Episode 4, the cast of the show take a ferry from OBX to Chapel Hill. As numerous North Carolinians have pointed out, this is a 250 mile journey over dry land.”
