Red Oaks (2016)

From Amazon:

An Amazon Original Series: A coming-of-age comedy set in the “go-go” 80s about a college student enjoying a last hurrah before summer comes to an end–and the future begins.

Set in a Tennis Club for wealthy Jews, this series follow the ups and downs of David, a college student working at the club during the summer. Billed as a comedy, this series is at times more of a soap opera.

So far there is only one season with 10 episodes. You can stream the series for free with Amazon Prime.

Remember Paul Reiser who played the husband Paul Buchman in the TV series “Mad About You” which was popular in the years 1992-1999? In “Red Oaks” he plays an obnoxious and wealthy Getty, president of the country club and also David’s boss.

David’s problems are manifold and funny: His parents are loopy, he is unsure about his future, he is trying awkwardly to win a girl’s heart, his boss drives him nuts, and the list goes on.

Expect a lot of sex (lesbian, group, and other varieties), nudity, coarse language, pot smoking, another list that goes on.

Relax, possibly smoke a joint, and watch the nonsense.
