The Swell

I am retired and probably spend too much time viewing newer shows, on most of the platforms that are available. At no time in 2024 have I been exposed to a more ignorant character then JJ Maybank. His actions are beyond the realm of stupidity. JJ is careless, inept, an imbecile in the best usage of the word. He never thinks before acting, never considers consequences that his companions will have to suffer through. He has the mind of a thoughtless, ill educated youth who constantly places those he supposedly cares for in jeopardy. Kiara would never consider such a loser for a boyfriend if the writers of each episode truly thought matters thru (in other words the viewer is subjected to lazy, uninspired writing). Writing JJ out of the series would provide greater capability for the development of the remaining characters and relief for those of us who chose to view Outer Banks. The show is a fun ride, it could be so much better without JJ Maybank.
