The Kominsky Method

[Horn_Spanker 524]

Just binged watched Season 1 and 2.  Quick 20 minute episodes, 8 episodes per season.  Very entertaining, but I relate more by being old.  I see why they got all the Emmy nominations.

synopsis?

Michael Douglas is Kominsky.  He's a washed-up actor who now runs his own acting school.   Alan Arkin is his longtime agent and best friend. 

They are very good together.  

About half the show revolves around his relationship with his students, the rest is banter between he and Arkin. 

I agree with OP, aging is a big part of it.   And Musso's is exactly like they show it.

Ah, shit.  

 

Alan Arkin isn't coming back for 3rd and final season.  His choice.  I suppose they will kill him off. 

[Pato del Muerto 52,532]

Might as well cancel it. 

[RomaVicta 29,947]

I love it. It was recommended to me by a 33 year old woman, so it's not just for the aging. Sad to hear about Arkin. I wish he could live forever.

[Sbbruin 21,865]

I loved it.  Alan Arkin is absolutely genius.  Without him it's dead.

S3 is out.

No kidding.  She was such a piece of ass back in the day.  

[Tylerocks 2,553]

Started this season last night and burned through 3-4 episodes.

Sucks Arkin wasn't back.  He was the best character on the show.

Still hilarious though.  Douglas is great.

Kathleen Turner, while not as hot to begin with, went the way of Kelly McGillis

Kathleen Turner has suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis since the 1990's and has to take steroids to walk. Hence, the puffiness. 

[SwanderedTalent 5,761]

I don't really have any interest in the show without Arkin's character and the way they just abruptly killed him off was poorly handled.

Kathleen Turner is on steroids? She looks like she's on jelly donuts.

Fan of the 1st 2 seasons. When I started watching episode 1 of the 3rd season, I had to google to see if Arkin had died IRL. Glad to find out he hadn't. Season 3 was worth a watch but I was put off with the focus on the daughter and Reiser's life together. Arkin's character's daughter and grandson (Osment) were great. I don't know if Osment will ever grab a leading role, but he's comedy gold as support.

Tough to watch an old Douglas and Turner onscreen together. Too bad they didn't pull in DeVito for one scene between the 3 of them

[4th&Five 41,571]

Seymour's eulogy might have been my favorite part of the season.  Osment was actually pretty good.  If my dad put on a wig he'd look a lot like Turner at this point.

Spot on. I liked it and it went to fast. Turner looks hard to watch, she and Douglas were so great looking years ago. But, I have no room to talk. The sad part was how many really selfish and greedy people there were. Yet they were balanced out by a few kind and giving characters.

Every Wednesday and Sunday between 7:30 and 7:45...  Seymour is still smoke.  I'd still hit that no questions asked.

I think the turn of Arkin's daughter threw me.  She was slinging yogurt, making amends doing all the steps to get right and then the money shows up.

Haven't finished the full season 3, but I'm enjoying it.  Turner is doing a nice job opposite Douglas.

As near as I can tell, Turner now fronts Guns N Roses.  At least from my vantage point at ACL Fest 2019.

[Sbbruin 21,865]

Haven't started season 3, but Arkin was the main reason I watched.  Not sure how I am going to like it.

[Gil Bang 25,983]

It's good Bruin.

I was the same, but found it enjoyable. Definitely worth the six episodes to tie it up.

Watched the first couple last night.  Entertaining.  Still, Arkin would've made it a lot better.

Strong finish.  Ended up enjoying season 3 quite a bit.
