In terms of evolution, I love The Office, I love the the sort of realism of it and the poignancy of it, but definitely when I was doing Parks and Rec, Mike Schur and I talked about making it a more colorful experience.
I feel like I did The Office, and then started Parks, and then went back and finished The Office, and the experience of that was so satisfying and complete that when I was thinking about what to do next – and [Upload] is the next thing that I’ve written since The Office finale – I don’t know, I just kind of wanted to do something kind of more fun and intense, I guess.
And I think if there is like a progression, this is probably even more colorful.
Kind of allowing it to be a little more lively and fun.
