Red Oaks

2014–2017 · 3 seasons

A gentle, nostalgic summer hangout that balances goofy clubhouse antics with sincere growing-up aches, easy to sink into.

Created by: Joe Gangemi, Gregory Jacobs
Genres: Comedy, Drama
Starring: Craig Roberts, Alexandra Socha, Paul Reiser

Overview: A coming-of-age comedy set in the "go-go" 80s that is equal parts hijinks and heartfelt about a college student enjoying a last hurrah before summer comes to an end--and the future begins. David Myers, an assistant tennis pro at the Red Oaks Country Club in suburban New Jersey in 1985, is both reeling from his father's heart attack and conflicted about what major to declare in the fall. While there, he meets a colorful cast of misfit co-workers and wealthy club members including an alluring art student named Skye and her corporate raider father Getty.
