The original Baywatch series focused on two things – David Hasselhoff, and all of the women who alongside him. The new remake of the franchise has put plenty of focus on the macho man characters, played by The Rock and Zac Efron, but the women seem to have fallen by the wayside. Or perhaps, the Bay-side?
Fortunately, that has all changed in this new TV spot. The 30-second spot shifts all of the focus to the ladies of the films, and appropriately titles it, ‘Baes’.
