Greg Daniels, the creator of The Office, told me recently that after the beloved series finished its celebrated nine-season run on NBC back in May of 2013, he wanted to try something a little different for his next project.
That eventually turned into a quirky show for a streaming platform that reimagines the afterlife and what would happen if people could choose to “upload” their consciousness into a digital utopia rather than take a chance on the real heaven or hell. A bit of a mouthful, right? That show, called Upload, is his first major project since his network TV days, and it’s one of the newest additions to Amazon’s growing pile of shows available for Prime members to stream for free as part of their membership. “When it came time to sell this, after The Office wrapped, I definitely wanted to try something a little different,” Daniels told me about Upload, which also happens to be at the top of our weekly ranking of the most-watched TV shows on the major streaming platforms. “I wanted to try to creatively stretch myself and try something that had more of a cinematic feel to it and, like, a bigger scope.”
