The Kominsky Method

[mainer]

I just started watching this series on Netflix. Wow, what fabulous writing and acting! Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin star as two aging show-biz guys who try to keep their careers alive. It's funny and touching and did I mention the writing is exceptional?

Created by Chuck Lorre, who also created Big Bang Theory.

1. Incredible show. First two seasons were great. I'll miss Alan Arkin

[ariadne0614]

2. +1

I binge-watched both seasons on Netflix. Looking forward to doing the same with S3. Oh, and also Kim's Convenience.

[redstateblues]

3. I tried to not binge watch it. I lasted two nights

[patricia92243]

20. I was so shocked at KIm's convenience "plot" for S3 that I haven't watched

the rest of it yet. It is supposed to be a comedy. This is not funny.

[ariadne0614]

21. I was disappointed with S3/E1 as well.

It was cringeworthy. Things get better as the season progresses, but it's definitely not aging well. There's no comparison to TKM.

4. have watched the first episode and it was fantastic...

the scene at Musso and Frank's alone was worth it...

[mainer]

7. Yes, fun to see Musso and Frank's!

I went there with a fellow screenwriter, just to sit where F. Scott Fitzgerald sat. The food was so-so, but the history was delicious.

8. when I lived in Hollywood, I would go for the occasional...

Friday afternoon martini. So much fun....and a GREAT martini! Would see vaguely familiar faces from the biz...

5. Loved it.

Watched it twice and am awaiting the next, and final (sadly I think they announced it was final) season.

It just fits together so well, every cast member and the stories just flow with so much life and humor.

6. Saw it when it first came out. Very entertaining.

Although I thought Michael Douglass was kind of whiney at times.

[efhmc]

11. His character was a bit whiny. I assume you mean his character.

[bif]

12. Yep.

9. I've watched it through twice now...

It's one that I'll binge watch again. It's very good.

[Ohiya]

10. Thanks for posting this.

We watched the first four episodes last night. We probably would have watched more, but it was getting late!

13. Without Alan Arkin, I'll skip season 3

He was the main reason I watched the first two seasons. Such a great actor.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. I agree. Had to stop watching I was so shocked

He was gone.

However his daughter's husband's a bit witty too.

Arkin only agreed to two years at outset

[yellowdogintexas]

29. Don't skip it. It was great.

Even without Arkin.

You will enjoy the ending

[SharonClark]

14. I watched all 3 seasons over a few days

and season 3 was my favorite despite no Alan Arkin.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

15. Season III was GREAT.

Love this show.

[bif]

16. Maybe I'll give it a shot.

[nuxvomica]

17. Agreed!

Even without Alan Arkin, the character of Norman Newlander has a presence in every episode.

[Tracer]

19. This show is full of clever repartee and I've actually

laughed out loud at some of the interactions.

But they could have laid off the penis/prostate/sex jokes.

[llmart]

28. I agree with you on your assessment.

A few prostate jokes would have been funny, but it just went on and on until it was just too much.

Other than that, I've only gotten through one season so far and I laughed out loud at quite a few of the jokes.

[bif]

22. I'm binging Season 3

It's really good. Smart writing and good acting. What more could you ask for? I do miss Alan Arkin, but it's still quite good.

[mainer]

23. "Hacks" is a good follow up series

If you’re withdrawing from Kominsky Method. Again, good writing and Jean Smart is fantastic as an aging comedienne.

[bif]

24. Looks like it isn't on Netflix, however.

[mainer]

25. HBO max.

I seem to be subscribing to every streaming service since the pandemic.

[bif]

26. Finished Season 3 the other night. Well worth it!

I wish there were more shows on Netflix that are this good!

[JohnSJ]

27. Excellent series
