Thank you! I am unsure how I feel about the whole show, still. One commenter wrote under the youtube video that "if your new in the industry you need to do something like this but your workmanship to your craft must be impeccable" - and I think that's very true, and yet, still on a very fine line between exploitative/gratuitous and art holding a mirror to society. I guess I need to know his life's work better to know for sure.
