The Kominsky Method: The Complete First Season review: What to expect from the Blu-ray
It doesn’t happy all the time, but some Netflix shows head to Blu-ray. That’s the case for The Kominsky Method season 1. Here’s a review of the Blu-ray.
The Kominsky Method season 1 will be on DVD later this month. Not all Netflix originals head to DVD to keep things as exclusive as possible, but Warner Bros. likes to make sure as many of its titles head to home video as possible.
We were fortunate enough to get a review copy of The Kominsky Method: The Complete First Season to bring you a review of what you can expect. What will you get on the version? Will there be any bonus features? Here’s a look at what you’ll get.
The Kominsky Method: The Complete First Season includes all eight episodes of the Netflix original. Starring Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin, the series focuses on Sandy Kominsky, an acting coach who had dreams of making it big. That didn’t plan out, and now he also has to deal with aging in a youth-obsessed culture.
Kominsky turns to his long-time agent and friend, Norman Newlander, to confront the various problems coming their way. This is more than just a journey to find success, but a journey of friendship, dealing with all of life’s problems, and more. It’s a heartfelt comedy that you’ll want to live over and over again.
What about bonus features? Sadly, the Blu-ray doesn’t include any bonus features. This isn’t uncommon when it comes to Netflix shows. After all, Netflix would want access to those deleted features and bonus featurettes to encourage fans to continue subscribing, especially when it comes to the multiple streaming services now.
The DVD is available to purchase on Nov. 19 for 19.98 ($24.99 in Canada). You can pre-order it at most major retailers or buy it on the day from local stores.
If you prefer to watch digitally but don’t want the consistent Netflix subscription, there is another option. Warner Brother is also bringing the show to Digital for purchase from all major online retailers, including Amazon Video, Apple TV, Vudu, Google Play and many more.
You’ll still be able to stream on Netflix with a subscription, as you can with House of Cards, Fuller House and other shows that have arrived on DVD and Blu-ray in the past.
