Season 1 Review:
Everything about “Bargain” is skillfully unhinged, with developments unfolding like new video game levels. Director/writer Jeon Woo-Sung’s expansion on a short film delivers on numerous counts, packing in more nonstop action and plot surprises than anything I’ve seen this year.

Season 1 Review:
This is not a show that thrives on common sense or nuance, which caused some diminishing of my interest as the series charged toward a conclusion that felt perfunctory more than cumulative. Still, as an intense piece of directorial ingenuity and a pitch-black satire of the dehumanized state of contemporary culture, Bargain is fully worthy of what ought to be initial curiosity and then burgeoning buzz.

Season 1 Review:
While it sometimes struggles to reach the promise of its unique premise, organ trafficking plus earthquakes plus moral dilemmas will always equal an enjoyable equation when added together for television. Bargain also demonstrates, yet again, that K-dramas will continue to be a source to be mined by American streamers for quite some time.
