The 2019 Golden Globes took place Sunday at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills and one of the big surprise winners of the evening is Netflix's "The Kominsky Method."
The streaming service's comedy is from "Big Bang Theory" creator Chuck Lorre and stars Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin as a once-famous actor and his longtime agent in Los Angeles, respectively.
Throughout the evening, the show surprised viewers as it won two awards for best TV comedy and best TV actor for Douglas' role as the titular character, Sandy Kominsky.
Notably, people were upset favorites like NBC's "The Good Place" and Amazon's 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" lost to the Netflix series.

Not actually watching the Golden Globes and not sure what the Kominsky Method is, but for forking with The Good Place and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, I now hate it.
