Outer Banks Season 5 struggles for critical reviews despite Netflix popularity

Despite its popularity and five-season run, Netflix's 'Outer Banks' is experiencing an unusual lack of critical attention, resulting in an insufficient number of reviews on Rotten Tomatoes to generate a score. This phenomenon is contrasted with less prominent shows and movies that have received more critical coverage. The situation highlights a broader trend of entertainment journalism resources being disproportionately allocated to films and video games over television series, potentially due to the declining health of the journalism industry.
