Red Oaks - Season 1
This young man presents a model of diverse comedy that we live in differently. Events begin with 20-year-old David Myers. It seems that David decided to enjoy the summer again during that period before re-entering the study. Comedy begins when David decides to work as a tennis assistant at the Red Fox, a predominantly Jewish New Jersey club. David tries differently to know what kind of life he wants to live before the end of summer.

Packed with plenty of nostalgic vibes, witty dialogue and likable characters, Red Oaks treks across some familiar terrain, but it still manages to feel fresh and relevant.

Derivative as it is from a distance, Red Oaks often redeems itself in close-ups.

From its first season, Red Oaks stood apart just by using '80s-era music that never felt overly familiar.

The series from David Gordon Green of Eastbound & Down is mildly entertaining, no more and no less.

It's been a year, and what feels like several Amazon pilot seasons... Or maybe I've just gotten impatient to see more of a show that had such a strong command of tone and its world in its first outing.

There are increasingly diminishing returns when it comes to watching a 20-year-old navigate between the push of his own desires and the pull of others' expectations, and David Myers... is too passive and inert to root for.
October 09, 2015
Series creators Jacobs and Gangemi infuse a delightfully surprising air to each episode, throwing in '80s hallmarks like outrageous side characters, apt musical numbers, sex, drugs and even a body-swap episode.

There's déjà vu to more than just the period of Amazon's slice of life tennis comedy, but Red Oaks is a consistent player with surprising potential.
October 05, 2015
This is a likable ensemble, filled with talented young future stars (Roberts and Turshen especially) and great veterans who don't get enough work, like Reiser and Kind.

It's not merely an experiment in nostalgia. The characterization and crisp writing have a biting comic edge, keeping the story from sinking into sentimental mush.
