The emotional rollercoaster reached its peak in the season finale, leaving fans grappling with a devastating revelation: “The wrong one died.” This powerful line underscores the series’ delicate balance of humor and grief, a hallmark of its storytelling.
In an interview following the finale, Segel unpacked the profound weight of the season’s journey. “This show is about broken people trying to fix themselves and others,” he said. “The loss at the end hits hard because it reminds us of life’s unpredictability.”
