    Douglas & Arkin At Their Best

    Douglas and Arkin share the best lines between them in this well written, and acted piece of comedy gold.

    Tragic, very funny, and totally relevant to the society we live in toady. My only hope is that Netflix stick with the show and produce a second, very worthy season!

    One of the best shows of 2018!

    Gentle Humour with bursts of insight

    How you can describe the comedy as 'hysterical' is beyond me - it's not. It's wry and gentle and drips with pathos with the occasional belly-laugh. The pathos isn't only limited to the ageing juveniles, either -the youngsters in the acting class exhibit their fair share of sympathy- deserving angst. But as a parallel narrative for someone who is pushing the same.age as the two leads, it scores heavily. Not much around for our demographic, but there's this. Good work, Lorre, and good work Arkin and Douglas.

    Kudos for No Laugh Track.

    For someone who usually finds Chuck Lorre's work a little much, this was a genuine surprise. I suppose no laugh track, like Big Bang Theory, Two And Half Men, etc, certainly helps. Alan Arkin's delivery is hilarious and dry as ever. Good seeing some actors and actresses that I haven't seen in a while also.
