What Season 2 of After Life

Season 2 opens with Tony still reeling from the death of Lisa, his wife, who died of breast cancer. He struggles to move on, but he starts to make room for compassion in his small, eccentric world of Tambury. To try, he signs up for a Zen meditation course with Matt, his brother-in-law and boss at the Tambury Gazette, whose marriage is falling apart. New tensions arise in the newsroom, like Lenny's girlfriend's son, who starts working at the paper, or Sandy, who wonders whether to write a gossip column. Tony still says what he thinks, though it's no longer so easy for him to hurt the people around him.
