The Kaminsky Method

Last night Becky and I finished watching the last show of the television streaming series The Kaminsky Method on Netflix. We loved it. It was also nice that it was only half hour shows so it was never a big time commitment although occasionally we did watch a couple in a row... like last night even though we didn't realize it was the very last show of the series until the end.

The show had a great cast that starred Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin, Michael Reiser and Kathleen Turner. Others who showed up included Ann-Margret, Jane Seymour, Elliot Gould, Jay Leno, Danny DeVito, Patti Labelle, Barry Levison, Eddie Money, Morgan Freeman and I was surprised to recognize the now adult and former child star Joel Haley Osment who was the kid who saw dead people in the film Sixth Sense back in the late 90's. Many of the stars listed above played themselves as guests on the show. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin were magnificent together. Every scene.

The show was incredibly well written with funny, witty and dramatic dialog. It was also very on target about getting old. It was also a very interesting story about an acting school and the young people attending the classes were all great.

We watched all three seasons during this past autumn and up until yesterday. It first got on our radar last summer when some folks including our friends Joe and Loraine were talking about it at a Wine on Wednesday evening last summer. They highly recommended it. I'm glad we followed up on their suggestion because everything about it was great.
