A fantastic show, original and funny in its own right, yet still pays homage to John Hughes and Caddy Shack fans. A usual Soderberg hits one out of the park. A little more populist than his great Section 8 work, Red Oaks follows the life of a character any Gen Xer can identify with. The dialog was snappy and clever, and after watching this one half hour pilot, I felt like I had been loaded with three hours of back-story.
In fact I have already grown to like these characters so much, as a viewer I am now able to sit back, relax and go pretty much anywhere the storyteller chooses to take me. A rare gift given to the audience of a sit-com.
Soderberg has broken my heart so many times before, presenting such wonderful material aired for just a season with an unanswered cliff- hanger.
I am fairly sure that this show is populist enough to keep its legs under it. I narrowly survived the cancellation of K-Street after one amazing season, so lets just green light five season now, shall we?
