![]() ![]() But we didn't necessarily know the full arc of the season. Given all that, how is season 2 different from season 1?Īndy Daly: In season 1, we went in saying that the experiences Forrest has are going to be cumulative we're never just going to hit the reset button, and it's all going to build up on him. ![]() You're coming back after a long time off, you've seen how people reacted to the first season, and you have your own feelings about what worked and what didn't last time. Last week I spoke with Daly (after previously discussing season 1 with him in Austin last summer) about how they approached season 2 after having nearly a year off between end of production on one season and the start of writing the next. The premiere guest stars Allison Tolman from “Fargo” as Forrest's new girlfriend it's wonderful, as are the other two episodes Comedy Central screened for critics. Though season 1 ended with Forrest punching out his producer Grant and quitting the show, season 2 opens with Forrest back on the job, eager as ever to be victimized by his own fans. ![]() Now the show is back for a second season, tonight at 10. It was uncomfortable, hilarious, and utterly brilliant. Over the course of the first season, Forrest got addicted to cocaine, ate 15 pancakes in one sitting, had to divorce his wife, then eat 30 pancakes in one sitting, accidentally caused his father-in-law to die in outer space, possibly killed another driver in a road rage incident, and bit by bit watched his entire life burn to the ground for the sake of the show. What seemed like a dump job was instead a delight: a sort of serialized sketch comedy show, held together by Daly as “reviewer of life” Forrest MacNeil, a blandly cheerful doofus willing to experience and then review whatever his audience asked him to. “Review” was one of the most pleasant TV surprises of 2014, not because we didn't expect fun stuff from star and producer Andy Daly, but because Comedy Central had sat on the show for nearly a year, and then premiered it with minimal fanfare. ![]()
