The Kominsky Method

While Michael Douglas is the acting teacher, it's Alan Arkin who delivers the master class in comedic timing. Delightful all round based on four episodes.

How you can describe the comedy as 'hysterical' is beyond me - it's not. It's wry and gentle and drips with pathos with the occasional belly-laugh. The pathos isn't only limited to the ageing juveniles, either -the youngsters in the acting class exhibit their fair share of sympathy- deserving angst. But as a parallel narrative for someone who is pushing the same.age as the two leads, it scores heavily. Not much around for our demographic, but there's this. Good work, Lorre, and good work Arkin and Douglas.

Finally a thoughtful well written comedy WITH NO LAUGH TRACK! Thank you thank you thank you!

It is so refreshing to watch something that appeals to audiences over 50. The subject matter is relevant, the acting is excellent and the only negative is that I've got to wait until next season to see new episodes... and I can't wait!

Douglas and Arkin share the best lines between them in this well written, and acted piece of comedy gold.

Tragic, very funny, and totally relevant to the society we live in toady. My only hope is that Netflix stick with the show and produce a second, very worthy season!

One of the best shows of 2018!
