Before YouTube became known for videos of people getting hit in the crotch and boring vlogs, there was likely some expectation of the service being used as an outlet for creative people. Luckily there is now some of that going on, and people are attempting to put out some content that actually took a little bit of thought. Like the web series, which offers up mini-episodes of shows that would likely never get a greenlight on a network station. Somehow I always get sucked in when I start a series, and the latest in which I'm entangled is The Institute.
The Institute would definitely not have been greenlit on a network station given it's plot. Two brothers start a school for upcoming pornstars back in the 70s when pornography was just starting out. Each episode follows the gang of "teachers" and their attempts to keep their "school" up and running, as well as gives a mock origin to a well-known sexual term such as The Dirty Sanchez or The Blumpkin.
