THE KOMINSKY METHOD
Created by Chuck Lorre, and starring Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin, Sarah Baker, Nancy Travis, and Kathleen Turner, “The Kominsky Method” is an American comedy-drama streaming television series that follows an aging acting coach who, years earlier, had a brief moment of success as an actor, the first season of which premiered on November 16, 2018.
PREMISE:
Acting coach Sandy Kominsky and best friend Norman Newlander keep each other laughing as they navigate the ups and downs of getting older.
Get ready with your tissues as “The Kominsky Method” returns with a whole new season that premiered on Friday, May 28, 2021, on Netflix.
In the final season, a new chapter unfolds for Sandy as he deals with a difficult loss, a daunting financial obligation, an important reunion, and a major career boost.
Norman’s exit is logically explained, and his shadow hangs over the third season, which sees Sandy tackling fresh challenges and responsibilities, while significantly reconnecting with his ex-wife Roz (Kathleen Turner), in what amounts to an extended “Romancing the Stone” reunion.
Sandy also frets about the future of his daughter, Mindy (Sarah Baker), who is heading toward the altar with her much-older boyfriend Martin (Paul Reiser), a situation that Roz embraces more philosophically than her ex. As for the colorful characters at the acting class, success for one of Sandy’s students brings him into contact with Morgan Freeman, playing — in the best “Entourage”-like Hollywood tradition — an appropriately jaundiced version of himself, in a savvy spoof of TV dramas.
