If it's a book, good fiction is written in a way that keeps me glued to the page, or listening to the story intensy, as the world around me disappears, without spelling mistakes or awkward sentences that take me out of the story and back into my critical mind.
Those would be bad.

For tv shows, it's good if they show me, instead of tell me, and the characters are believable, even if they're totally goofy.
Personally, my husband and I really like cerebral shows that are made with highly intelligent characters and plot lines.
