I like shows that have some level of intelligence to them. When it's not as predictable, when you don't know what's coming at you. ↗

... an artist should paint from the heart, and not always what people expect. Predictability often leads to the dullest work, in my opinion, and we have been bored stiff long enough I think. ↗
