STEVEN SODERBERGH HAS called it quits in the realm of directing movies, but since his last feature played in theaters (Side Effects in 2013) he’s been busy as hell directing plays and TV shows. Now we’ve got a full season of Red Oaks, an Amazon series about growing up in the New Jersey suburbs in the 1980s ^and it is almost as good as Fast Times…but more of it. The lead boy is played by Craig Roberts, a young Brit with an interesting and already long filmography behind him, including a breakout turn in the Richard Ayoade-directed indie Submarine from 2010
Craig is joined here by Richard Kind and Paul Reiser, which is a Mad About You reunion we can really get behind, as well as Jennifer Grey and Josh Meyers.
