Review of Red Oaks

Red Oaks (2014–2017)
8/10
I might be overly generous with 8 stars but I'll tell you why...

Caddyshack. Caddyshack. Caddyshack.

I said it three times and it still didn't materialize. This is not an 8-star show but it's not really 7 stars either.

Paul Reiser was flat and one-dimensional in his scenes but I expect that character will develop. Craig Roberts as David is way over matched by his costars. His girlfriend (Gage Golightly as Karen) is drop dead gorgeous while he is plain, dorky and underwhelmingly less endowed than a chihuahua according to Nash. The only attraction this dweeb could have to a rock star babe like that is a wad of cash and he don't got that.

What really pulled me in was the last scene where David meets (the as yet unnamed Skye Getty) and Alexandra Socha is friggin' electric. I will watch more episodes of this show just to see Alex and Oliver Cooper as Wheeler. Both are way more interesting and magnetic than all of the top bills together.

Best of luck on making an entire season but I've got hope.
