'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)
PUBLISHED NOV 13, 2018

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).
