In the second season, Danny decided to take me for a walk all night. Meanwhile, Gul seems to have an amazing relationship with his new ally, and surprised me to find herself injured in front of someone who seems to be a stranger. In those moments, Li goes on her first date since Matt's death, as Gul seems to be in the wrong place for AA.
As on Six Feet Under, an obvious touchstone for any subsequent series about grief and mourning, the episodes find ingenious ways to keep Matt in the present tense.
