If that sounds like it’s got a strong Adventureland vibe to it, the Red Oaks trailer isn’t exactly going to dissuade you of that notion. Watch it after the jump.
The trailer doesn’t play like the most original thing we’ve ever seen (again, the Adventureland parallels are strong here), but there’s plenty to like already and we can hope it’ll come into its own as the season goes on. Plus, Soderbergh and Green have had great success with TV before — Soderbergh with The Knick, which enters its second season this fall, and Green with Eastbound and Down, which wrapped up in 2013.
Set in suburban New Jersey in 1985, Red Oaks centers around college student David Meyers—a young man at a crossroads as he tries to figure out who he is and what he wants to be in this world. He gets a summer job as an assistant tennis pro at the Red Oaks Country Club and while there, David finds himself the recipient of unsolicited life advice from a colorful group of coworkers and club members on his journey of self-discovery.
