• Jason Segel, who co-created the show, pushed to cast Brett Goldstein as Louis, the man who killed his character's wife, because he wanted someone who would serve as a 'reflection of Jimmy' - a contemporary who could showcase Goldstein's full dramatic range beyond his 'Ted Lasso' role.
• The central relationship between Jimmy and his daughter Alice is the 'primary storyline' as Segel navigates the character's journey of forgiveness, not just towards the man who killed his wife, but towards himself for 'failing' his daughter when she needed him most after the tragedy.
