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.

Aided by a roster of incredible directors (David Gordon Green, Hal Hartley, Amy Heckerling) and a cracking soundtrack, this unassuming little show evolved into a sweet, philosophical gem. Go to Full Review

Red Oaks' final season doesn't do anything groundbreaking, but provides a satisfying ending to its thoughtful coming of age tale. Go to Full Review

sonny p 11/18/2023 Some parts seem extraneous, but on the whole an extremely emotional and passionate finale. See more Diddly S 09/16/2023 Garbage. Don't waste your time. See more Ben H 06/17/2022 Surprisingly six episodes was enough to send a Red Oaks off into the sunset. It brought everyone's story to an end (although lacking Skye which felt weird) and it ended on a great note. It was emotional and by far my favourite part was Sam opening up his sub store. A perfect end to a perfect show. See more annie ann-magritt b 11/04/2020 So sad that the series had to end but it gave us a good ending and What a great show it has been See more Mark A 09/19/2020 Watched for first time in the summer of 2020. Had no idea how great this show was. A rare comedy gem. Loved every moment! See more 01/03/2018 Solid season...takes an episode or two to get good. It stinks that half of the show isn’t even spent at the country club anymore. They should probably start thinking about wrapping this series up before it gets bad. See more Read all reviews
