Upload

I enjoyed binging on Upload, created by Greg Daniels, who had previously created The Office. I found it to be a very clever and knowing satire.

In my mind, it was sort of asking the question: What if heaven were run by incompetent humans, all working for a really bad corporation? What results is a hilariously dark (very dark) comedy.

But now I wonder whether Upload is already out of date. I am still reeling from the image of a certain person sanctimoniously holding up a bible in front of a church. Just out of frame, we know that many peaceful protesters were attacked by tear gas to enable that silly photo-op.

Has reality finally surpassed The Office in absurdity? Is there some way we can all get out of this particular reality show?
