Daniels started writing the series right after The Office <\/em>ended and it’s taken the past six years for the show to finally come to fruition. “It’s been a long time coming,” Daniels tells us. “I was writing episodes in 2017, and then we shot a pilot in 2018. And then we shot the series in 2019. There were so many special effects, that it took another year to do all the visual effects. It’s been a long time coming, and it’s great fun.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThis is how deep art happens.\u00a0 It’s why bands have a hard time reproducing the depth of that first “Q: Are We Not Men?
