On paper that looks obvious. Of course a series with a low six-figure production budget designed for purposes of entertainment is going to be more engaging and enjoyable to watch than an advertisement created by a global biopharma company! But if you’ve watched original branded entertainment web series for a while, you know that’s not always the case. Sometimes you may even prefer to catch attractive individuals white water raft in adverts for Valtrex than witness an almost outright shill presented with a thin veil of entertainment
.But I digress. Leap Year not only watches way better than the Vimpat spot, but way better than most other online originals out today. If the quality of the Wilson Cleveland, CJP Digital, and Happy Little Guillotine production doesn’t make you want to click play, and you find Yuri and Vlad Baranovsky’s slick but still relatable script (think of a style somewhere between Alexander Payne and Ted Griffin) to be unenticing, than Rachel Risen’s bat impression and the fact that this branded entertainment web series doesn’t have one single mention of the brand that’s cutting its production checks will make you want to tune in.
