El método Kominsky

The writing in this show is excellent, the actors are one of the best ensembles for a long time.

The honesty and situations reflect a side of life rarely, if ever done in media of recent times, probably Douglas's finest work in a long time, really good viewing.

For someone who usually finds Chuck Lorre's work a little much, this was a genuine surprise. I suppose no laugh track, like Big Bang Theory, Two And Half Men, etc, certainly helps. Alan Arkin's delivery is hilarious and dry as ever. Good seeing some actors and actresses that I haven't seen in a while also.

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!

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!
