Season 1
Some friendships never get old.
Synopsis
The Kominsky Method (2018), Season 1 is a Netflix comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM — eight episodes about growing old without growing up.
Sandy Kominsky is an aging acting coach who never quite made it as a star; Norman is his agent and oldest friend. The season opens with Norman losing his wife to a long illness, and much of it is about carrying grief at nearly eighty. Sandy, meanwhile, jokes his way through class, dreads the urologist, and starts seeing a student named Lisa. In the background, Norman's daughter Phoebe drifts toward rehab.
Chuck Lorre created it, and the whole thing rides on Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin trading barbs. It's funny and sad in the same breath — about age, friendship, and too many doctor's appointments. Eight half-hour episodes. Stream The Kominsky Method Season 1 online on iFILM.
