What to Know

Critics Consensus

Primal evolves into a more serialized tale while losing none of its beautiful savagery in a second season that exemplifies Genndy Tartakovsky's knack for storytelling economy.

There is a punishing side to Primal, but the show hasn’t lost any of the grace and artistry that earned it acclaim for its first round of episodes. Go to Full Review

4/5
Sparse in dialogue and absolutely devoted to action and violence, to the point of being grotesque, Primal treasures one of the best visual narratives we've seen in any medium in recent years. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Dan Schindel Hyperallergic 10/21/2022
"Primal" is a continuously inventive and exciting adventure through a prehistoric fantasy world. Go to Full Review
Sarah Bea Milner Slashfilm 10/21/2022
What actually transpires in the two subsequent episodes defies expectations both narratively and artistically, setting a new bar for the outstanding animated series. Go to Full Review

Mar•Garet W @RLM-Fan-Club-76 Jan 22 -◂★▸- Genndy Tartakovsky's PRIMAL is, in a word: Excellent. If you are burned out on Bad Contemporary TV &/or Film(s), this will renew your inspiration & appreciation for good/great STORYTELLING*. (* Something that many & more Current-day Story Writers seem to relegate to a tertiary consideration when formulating their "Ideas" into Shows & Films). See more Michael J Jan 6 Es tan atrapante,es maravillosa esta serie ,la teoría primal una hermosura See more Hughe J @Hughe Jan 3 Primal Season 2 was released in 2022 on streaming and continues the story of Spear and Fang. It's set in a world where cavemen, dinosaurs, iron age humans, Vikings, Celts, magic etc. all live together. Where Season 1 is largely comprised of disjointed episodes that have little correlation to each other, Season 2 focuses on locating Mira who was kidnapped at the end of the first season and her subsequent rescue. There is one notable exception as the episode 'Primal Theory' jumps to 1890 England and feels really out of place in the season. The rest of the episodes are pretty good, not as good as the first season but still entertaining, but I did not care for the season's finale which was not only improbable but kind of silly. Overall Tartakovsky's second season of Primal was definitely entertaining and worth a watch. See more Kieran M @Honestyonly Dec 19 I take back my earlier review as I watched the second half of the season, the theme does get a little better. Not nearly as good as the first season, but not as completely awful as I had originally thought.
