Award
Paramount+ and Tving‘s Korean series “Bargain” has won the critics’ choice award at the Seriencamp Festival in Cologne. In April, “Bargain” became the first-ever Korean series to win best screenplay at the Canneseries Festival in France.
The series stars actors Jun Jong-seo (“Money Heist: Korea”) and Jin Seon-kyu (“Extreme Job”) and is an adaptation of director Lee Chung-hyun’s 2015 short film of the same name. Director Jun Woo-sung, who was part of the production team of the short, picked up the story and developed it into a six-part series. “Bargain” revolves around a group of strangers who gather at a remote motel with ulterior motives – seeking to bargain. Unlike the original film, the series follows the characters after an unexpected earthquake traps them inside the building. With no one to trust, they must find a way to survive.

"It's a train wreck – there are people who want to see it and leave," PBS's Nature Ep Fred Kaufman said, of fake nature scenes and/or programs. His franchise relies “on a loyal audience that comes back, week after week, so we feel a responsibility to be truthful and accurate, and there are a lot of people who like that and expect that. I don't feel any pressure; we're very proud of the fact we're standing alone.” Kaufman, addressing TV critics on the final day of Winter…...

Discovery got some bad press when they held a fake documentary during Share Week. PBS took notice of that and are playing on that by saying they will never do that. As usual when preparing for the upcoming fall season, the network is making sure fans know Nature will not be the victim to the same. The news broke of their promise over today as they announced this news. Here is what Fred Kaufman had to say.
It’s a train wreck – there are people who want to see it and leave, on a loyal audience that comes back, week after week, so we feel a responsibility to be truthful and accurate, and there are a lot of people who like that and expect that. I don’t feel any pressure; we’re very proud of the fact we’re standing alone.
I am glad that they open up about this.

Cuba: The Accidental Eden: polymita (top); sea turtles (bottom) Cuba: The Accidental Eden, the first film of PBS' award-winning Nature series’ 29th season, explores Cuba's diverse landscape and its inhabitants — and the dangers they face. The country, (absurdly) off limits to Americans, is a place where "wild splendor has been preserved by half a century of political isolation and economic stagnation." The Accidental Eden will be available on DVD and Blu-ray through PBS Distribution. It will hit retail stores on November 9. “There are few accidents in nature,” Fred Kaufman, Series Executive Producer, is quoted as saying in the PBS press release. “But if there is one, Cuba’s beguiling wildlife is one to behold. And with the ongoing discussion to lift the Cuban embargo, it’s a timely film to usher in a new season of Nature.” The information below is from the press release: Decades of relative isolation have...
