Michael Douglas owns ‘The Kominsky Method’ Season 3 The changing relationship between Roz and Sandy gives the comedy-drama a new dimension I had absolutely loved the first two seasons of The Kominsky Method. And yet I was in two minds whether to give Season 3 a watch. Reason? The absence of Alan Arkin. Despite the show being named after Sandy Kominsky — played by Michael Douglas, who also functions as its executive producer — few will argue against the fact that it was Arkin’s Norman Newlander, with his brazen mix of wit and wisdom, who made the show what it is in the 16 episodes that comprised its two seasons. The show, across two seasons, was a poignant and yet humorous look at ageing, with Norman and Sandy’s friendship at its centre.
