The Kominsky Method (2018-2021)

TV shows used to give work for actors at the beginning or at end of their careers. Jumping board for young unknowns, retirement shelter for washed-up has-beens. Their entertainment value was accordingly measured. That has shifted (to realize how much, check how many of the first X-files episodes you can watch and compare the experience with what you get from a just below-average show of today). Although it's old news that TV shows have caught up with feature films in prestige and surpassed them in quality, it's still quite rare, and therefore feels special, when an A-movie actor appears in one. 


War of Styles: Krav Maga

Mixed Martial Arts wasn't the first invention in the martial arts world that challenged the authority of the traditional styles. Like Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, the Israeli military-style form of hand-to-hand combat Krav Maga was developed to address the perceived deficiencies of the mainstream styles. In short, to extract the useful parts and ignore the baggage.

According to the proponents of Krav Maga, it is the ultimate survival fighting style. It offers a quick learning curve, puts the emphasis on preparing for real-life situations, incorporates mental toughness and street awareness training, and achieves maximal efficiency by utilizing simple, battle-proven techniques as opposed to fancy-looking jumping kicks and exotic hand-waving.
