Rich Fury / Invision / APPaul Reiser returns to TV in Amazon’s “Red Oaks.”

Anyone with an affinity for “The Flamingo Kid” or “Caddyshack” is likely to extend it to “Red Oaks,” if they haven’t already.

Nostalgic and contemporary at once, the seriocomic Amazon series centered on the title country club in the mid-1980s starts streaming the 10 episodes of its second season Friday. Craig Roberts returns as young assistant tennis pro David Meyers, whose carefully mapped-out life has undergone a multitude of changes, resulting in his dropping out of college and putting his filmmaking ambitions on hold … if not ending them completely.

Another seismic-to-David shift awaits in the new stories, as his would-be girlfriend Skye (Alexandra Socha) shows a marked difference in personality after the year she’s spent in Paris. Her father — Red Oaks president Doug Getty (Paul Reiser) — isn’t happy about it, either, and David ends up the man in the middle between them. Additional cast members include Reiser’s former “Mad About You” comrade Richard Kind and Jennifer Grey as David’s now-divorced parents, and Ennis Esmer and Oliver Cooper as fellow employees.

With Steven Soderbergh (“The Knick,” “The Girlfriend Experience”) and series creators Gregory Jacobs and Joe Gangemi among its executive producers, “Red Oaks” isn’t “a show that’s striving to make any big comments about life,” Gangemi maintains, “other than the stuff that’s true of any decade. If we have a sort of (theme) from our body of work and stuff we’ve done before, we tend to have a kind of optimistic view of people coming together and finding communities, and making up their tribes and finding new families … sometimes of their own creation. I think that message is probably the one we’re trying to support.”

Jacobs agrees that by keeping David as the hub of “Red Oaks,” the show continues the “universal reality of coming-of-age stories, and I think that’s (true of) every decade. I have kids who are teenagers, and they’re in some ways going through a lot of the same things that I did, even though I didn’t have a cell phone. They’re still growing up, and I think we’re all constantly doing it. I mean, I still am. I think that’s kind of the fun, telling those kinds of stories.”

So does Reiser, as the club’s resident “fat cat,” though he also believes “the deck had been shuffled” for Season 2. “We were all working with different combinations, which was fun. We missed the people we weren’t with, but there were also new accommodations and new chemistry. Joe and Greg did a great job of having spent the first season with all the characters. They really wrote, it seemed, so effortlessly for us in the second season that we just picked up the scripts and they all they just flew. One of the great benefits of doing a series is that you learn the characters and you learn how to write for them.”

David Gordon Green — another “Red Oaks” executive producer — is back as one of its directors, as are independent-film staples Hal Hartley (“No Such Thing”) and Gregg Araki (“Splendor”). In playing newly single Sam Meyers, the typically comedic Kind stresses that the series remains “first and foremost a comedy. However, because of the broader strokes in the first year, during the second season, things were more intimate. I was worried: ‘Oh, my gosh, am I too somber or too sober?’ It is still a comedy, but it just got deeper. That’s all I can say.”
