Confessions of Jared Jacobs

In this month’s Confessions of a Couch Potato, we chatted to Jared Jacobs, Business Unit Director at Dentsu Red Star.

What show are you currently bingeing – and on which platform can we find it? 

Yoh, I just come off a phenomenal run of ping-ponging between The Ed Gein Story and Black Rabbit on Netflix!

What’s the one thing about this show that hooked you? (no spoilers!) 

With bra Ed, I was keen on finding out more about the godfather of horror and the birthplace of serial killers, and with Black Rabbit, I had to witness seeing funny man Jason Bateman being an absolute menace to his brother and society.

If you had to pitch this show to a friend in one sentence, what would you say? 

“He wears faces that aren’t his and likes digging up the past” for Ed Gein and “Jason Bateman’s character hates peace and is steadfast in his endeavours to never experience it” for Black Rabbit.

What brand of TV/ Connected Devices do you have at home? 

Skyworth

How many hours do you watch per week? 

In a good week, around 7-8 hours

Do you still watch traditional TV? 

Only live sport.

Why do you choose to work with the Reach Africa team? 

I believe in their product and I enjoy working with Roche and Leslie.
