Grey New York goes back to the future for DirecTV, revisiting a concept the satellite broadcaster introduced seven years ago in commercials from Deutsch.
Those original spots, directed by Christopher Guest, took place in a conference room and focused on the antics of some smug, inept and less-than-customer-centric executives at Cable Corp., a bland, soulless cable conglomerate. The last ad in the series aired in 2012.
