It's the summer of 1985, and NYU student David lands a summer job at the Red Oaks Country Club in New Jersey. As the assistant tennis pro, he rubs elbows with the clientele, as well as his fellow employees. And they all have advice to offer him on how he should be planning for the rest of his life. His father urges him to buckle down and improve his grades ("a C is a Jewish F!" he tells his son, just before collapsing on the tennis court) so he can get into the college's CPA program. Trouble is, David isn't sure he wants to be a CPA. His boss recommends ditching college to go into the stock market. And on a personal level, though David is dating the hot aerobics instructor at the club, his eye wanders to the daughter of one of the club's tougher members (Getty, played by the normally likeable Paul Reiser), who refuses to shake the hands of any of the staff members. Summer won't last forever, though, and David has some decisions to make as he eventually moves on to the Big Apple.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Red Oaks doesn't sprout in ambition during its sophomore season, but the series is tough to beat as a rose-tinted glance at the past, with a troupe of superb actors bringing an earthy charm to the 1980s chic.

It rolls happily along with killer gags and a beautifully thought-out soundtrack... Go to Full Review Molly Eichel Philadelphia Inquirer 05/15/2019
Red Oaks doesn't break ground, but it's so sweet and well-made that it feels nice to settle into something so familiar. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall HitFix 05/15/2019
I enjoy barreling through it each season, even as I find myself wishing it was much funnier and/or went deeper into either the characters or the stakes of their lives. Go to Full Review Lucy Gladden and Oliver Higham-Grady The Sun (UK) 05/15/2019
It's scene-stealing tennis pro Nash (Ennis Esmer) who provides the big laughs in this totally bingeworthy and funny coming-of-age comedy. Go to Full Review Leigh-Ann Brodber The Young Folks 05/15/2019
What is most appealing about Red Oaks is that it doesn't capitalize on the trends in the 80s, but subtly showcases it in the everyday lives of its characters. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

02/17/2018 Love this show. It truly understands how to build characters you care about. See more 11/29/2016 Richard Kind is fantastic and steals the show. I wish the would have been more golf/tennis club scenes but Season 2 makes up for it in themes of loyalty and family first. The divorce the Meyers are going through, and the Getty trial and what their family is going through...there are many redeeming quality to be had here, both with the characters and the story. Funny and nostalgic show with some good drama mixed in, I would recommend. See more 11/26/2016 Even better than last season! Can't wait for Season 3! See more 11/24/2016 So good!!!! Need more See more 11/15/2016 I was really impressed by this season of Red Oaks. The show really evolved in its second season with a revival and complication of plots and characters growing up. What seems like maybe a simpleton 80s remake rom-com series has grown into something greater and more lasting. See more Read all reviews
