Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

ginnseven The pilot episode was sort of cliché and riddled with 80s music in an attempt to remain authentic. It tries too hard to be 80s and it shows. Unlike a great series like Stranger Things that builds on a solid premise that just happens to be set in that time period, Red Oaks tries to make an 80s themed series out of a jumble of the eras stereotypes. The biggest letdown is the main character who is far too nerdy to fit the part. No offense to this actor but he should be cast as the lead characters nerdy pal. There is no way someone like him would be a tennis pro dating a beautiful aerobics instructor in the 80s, in real life or in a movie. I remember the 80s and looks and materialism were the norm and the nerd did not get the girl unless it was at the end of a sappy flick, and even then the movie ended. They could have built it up and moved towards this character getting it all in the end which would have been a true 80s coming of age story. But this series does not know what it wants to be, a coming of age Wonder Years or a wacky Caddyshack free for all. I will try a few more episodes but I do not suspect much more.

Scott Morrison I decided to give this show a try and I was immediately hooked! I binge watched the first 2 seasons. Sad to hear that season 3 will be the last. Wish there were more shows this well done on TV. Every character on the show keeps your attention in every scene.Give this show a chance. You will love it!

arampapik Show takes place in the 80's. If you've grow up during that time, you will feel a sense of nostalgia while watching this show. Big camcorders, no cell phones, big hair, colorful sunglasses, denim, aerobics, etc. Kind of makes me want to re-live the times. Show is very well made. Great cinematography , good selection of actors, lots of settings, easy to follow plot with just the right amount of side stories going on. I would re-watch the show... can't say that about many shows. Can't wait till season 3.

ramair350 This show gets a very solid 9 of 10 from me. I'm in my 40s and therefore am a proud child of the 80s, so this show is fun for me for obvious reasons.I describe the show to others as what John Hughes would have done with a TV show. The struggles and awkwardness of young people is timeless, and while the setting is the 80s, anyone alive will relate to the story lines (whether you were a child of the 30s, or a child of the 2000's). The beauty of the series is that the characters become more and more developed, which ultimately is what makes or breaks most productions. Sure, this is a comedy, but it is moving and nostalgic in a way that few shows achieve.I just concluded the second season, and I liked it even more than the first. The music selection is spectacular; some of the selections I have not heard since the 80s, and so Amazon racked up a few extra MP3 purchases from me thanks to this show (Amazon, if you produce a Season 3 I promise there will be additional purchases to be made!). The ONLY weak point for the show occurred in Season 1, Episode 7. There are entire discussion threads dedicated to the subject, but honestly I would recommend that people completely skip that episode. Or perhaps some additional footage can be tacked on to the end to show that it was all a dream (a perfect 80s thing to do, right???). But if you can survive that ridiculousness, I promise the whole rest of the series is amazing, and just builds and gets better through Season 2.In summary, I am keeping my fingers crossed that Amazon keeps this incredible gem of a show going as it makes a wonderful addition to their lineup.
