'The Kominsky Method': Chuck Lorre says best thing about Netflix is the lack of commercial breaks

The show follows Sandy Kominsky (Michael Douglas), a past-his-prime actor now working as a life coach, and his bond with his longtime agent and friend Norman (Alan Arkin)

Chuck Lorre, the brain behind famous sitcoms 'The Big Bang Theory', 'Two and a Half Men' and 'Mom', is now onto his next project, a Netflix series called 'The Kominsky Method'. And though he has years and years of experience behind producing single-camera sitcoms for broadcast TV, he says the new Netflix series is almost like a new venture for him. 

The half-hour show takes an empathetic but exacting look at the process of aging as we follow Sandy Kominsky (Michael Douglas), a past-his-prime actor now working as a life coach, and his bond with his longtime agent and friend Norman (Alan Arkin).
