Learning to fly

"Red Oaks," a coming-of-age comedy produced by Steven Soderbergh, grows up considerably in its second season, as protagonist David Meyers (Craig Roberts) separates himself further from his two mentors: a hapless but well-meaning father (Richard Kind) and an egocentric country-club president (Paul Reiser). It offers the kind of gentle, sharply written humor missing from the big screen and network TV.

Behind the music

George Martin didn't live long enough to see the final results of his pet project, "Soundbreaking: Stories From the Cutting Edge of Recorded Music," but I'm guessing the fifth Beatle would have been pleased with the outcome, a thorough eight-part exploration that manages to make the behind-the-scenes players in recording studios seem vital — and cool. Paul McCartney, Joni Mitchell and Willie Nelson are among those paying tribute to music's unknown soldiers.

She's no lady

Michelle Dockery, best known for mixing chill and charm as Lady Mary in "Downton Abbey," is jolly good in "Good Behavior," a new series about a drug-addicted thief who gets trapped by a killer after committing the only kind deed of her adult life. The plot has logical flaws — Dockery's character can't be both a brilliant con artist and an imbecile, can she? — but it's nice to see the actress escape from the manor.
