Created by Chuck Lorre, The Kominsky Method TV show follows the friendship between two aging longtime friends as they navigate through their golden years in Los Angeles.
A former star, Sandy Kominsky (Douglas) is now a respected acting coach. Impeccably dressed, Norman Newlander (Arkin) is his best friend and longtime agent.
With his formerly estranged daughter, Mindy (Baker), divorced Sandy runs The Kominsky Method acting studio in Hollywood. He teaches a motley crew of mostly younger students but connects with a Lisa (Travis), a recent divorcee who’s closer to his age.
Eileen (Sullivan) is Norman’s longtime savvy and salty wife who’s fighting cancer. Norman’s estranged daughter is Phoebe (Edelstein), an adult woman who’s addicted to drugs and alcohol.

What do you think? Do you like The Kominsky Method TV show? Do you think it should have ended or been renewed for a fourth season?
The show deserves a second season. The acting is excellent – from the two leads to everyone else in the cast. A large part of the country is in an aging demographic. The show hits on issues many, many people can relate to. Plus, it’s a great mix of humor and depth. Please consider renewing this – the store isn’t finished.
We loved the series. Of course we are in that age group so it is very relatable. The acting is outstanding especially the two main characters. Would love to see a second season.
please keep this show. my wife and I loved it

This Is the show my husband and I have been watching these past few weeks. Love it to pieces. Mu hubby relates to Norman especially even though I’m not dead! Douglas and Arkin are superb actors, love them. Can’t wait for season 2.

Please continue this show, it has so much more to offer! I love all 8 episodes!! The show makes us realise what we tend to forget! Such an emotional story and a beautiful friendship, both on there journey of discovery in old age! A really moving masterpiece in many ways!! A programme I won’t be forgetting!
Great show! Don’t cancel it! I couldn’t stop watching until I’d seen all of the episodes. I want more!
I watched all 8 episodes. Well done as expected with writers and cast. I would have preferred less profanity, especially with all the rather elite actors and their ability to convey their characters feelings.
It was interesting to observe two well seasoned friends navigate life’s scenarios, and how they work through them from a male perspective. The humor that brings them through their problem solving was so relatable, sometimes you must either laugh or cry during the events in life that can crush your soul. I love the relationship they have and as a viewer observe.
Thought it was really fun …. humorous and endearing. Watched it all in one sitting.
Understated, interesting, hilarious with heart. Watched 4 episodes on a school night!
My wife & I binge watched all 8 episodes. We loved the chemistry between Alan Arkin & Michael Douglas. Well written. All the characters are quite plausible.
Hope there is a 2nd season! Have recommended it to many friends & relatives.
