And theres unresolved issues hanging around everywhere.
“Your life will always be better if you might genuinely forgive.
But there are things that some people might think impossible to forgive.

There are reasons that people aren’t out there doing this.
That pulls the proverbial therapists couch out from under Jimmy, but its hardly his only problem.
He’s in a much better place in terms of the grief process, notes Segel.

And then, very quickly, he’s forced to confront a new challenge.
Isn’t that life?”
Audiences can expect his condition to worsen in season 2.

Hes going to meet those challenges with what we know is in his quiver, personality-wise.
But it’s a very challenging and difficult disease and we’re not going to sugarcoat it.
For Lawrence and Goldstein, Pauls storyline is extremely personal.
We would not be introducing that if we didn’t intend to make it part of the story.
Jimmy assumes a surprising role when it comes to Pauls treatment.
That is a very paternal relationship, reflects Segel.
There is no version of my life when I’m holding Harrison Ford’s hand where that voice wins.
I sit there and I think, Everything is right with the world right now.
I’m the luckiest guy in the world.
It all worked out.
There’s nothing he said no to, marvels Goldstein.
He’s seemingly up for anything.
“The coolest thing about Harrison Ford is that he’s just game, adds Lawrence.
There will be singing.
And he’s not the only one getting to dabble in broader comedy.
Segel loves the wildly swinging acting challengesShrinkingpresents.
It’s still in me from the old broad comedy days.
There are two or three moments this season.
It’s my favorite thing about the stew of this show is that it’s got all the things.
One of the things about adult friendships is that they’re messy.
says Lawrence, while Segel adds, Brian really is his best friend in the world.
But it’s not just one conversation.
That’s just not how it works.
It’s the start of a road.
And there’s more they got to figure out.
I dunno if youve ever slept with a friend, quips Goldstein.
Segel is more earnest about the future of the two BFFs' relationship.
Gaby is in a different place, and that’ll come to a head.
“It’s not something that people will necessarily expect or even recognize him in right away.”
It is incredibly different, Goldstein says.
There is almost no crossover except the eyebrows.
He might look vaguely similar, but these are very, very, very different characters.
Though he co-created the show, Goldstein didnt write this mysterious character with himself in mind.
With Roy Kent, I had the strong feeling I should be playing it, says Goldstein.
And with this one, Jason had the strong feeling I should be playing it.
He was like, Why isn’t Brett doing this?
Brett’s perfect for this.
And we were like, Oh.
And I thought, If Jason Segel says to do something, you should do it.
The show definitely explores boundaries, says Segel.
A lot of the show is about finding appropriate boundaries between all these characters.
I don’t think that grief ends, reflects Goldstein.
“Its a big step up this season, he concludes.
Were trying something with this forgiveness experiment its a big, meaty thing going on.”
So, then, we suppose the only question that remains is how does that make you feel?
