LCF and I have been watching this. I believe there's 10 episodes altogether. We're about halfway through. Artisans compete for admission to some prestigious art academy, something like that. The medium is glassblowing, something LCF has done in the past. Each episode the host and artist maestro -- both rather annoying -- give the artists a subject, and they all compete to create the best work. The winner gains prestige for that episode, and the weakest of the lot is sent packing. There's a bit of Survivor about it, and other ilk-ish shows. Everything about the format and the handlers seems designed to suck the fun and spontaneity out of art, and yet the competitors prevail and create interesting works.
We're enjoying it, though getting increasingly annoyed with the host and artist maestro running things.
Oh, I think the episodes are 20 minutes, so it's a nice length for dinner time.
