Both visually and emotionally, Primal has kicked it up another gear yet again, embracing the supernatural like never before and asking big questions about humanity while barely uttering a single word. Go to Full Review Chris Sawin Giant Freakin Robot Jan 15
5/5
Season three solidifies Primal as one of the best adult animated television series of all time. Every element of this show is phenomenal; a violent and visceral fever dream that is so overwhelmingly badass and undeniably metal as hell. Go to Full Review Isaiah Colbert io9.com Jan 9

Yobab B @RT89351395 1d What an Epic finale ♥️ See more Z Z @RT69917122 1d This is the best animated story I have ever watched. It’s incredible how engaged and thoughtful I found myself each episode and the finale of S3 was brilliantly comforting in the end. I hope there is more story to be told. See more Henrique C @RT70442898 1d Primal Season 3 is rewarding as it is fun to watch. It delivers a retcon in the end but well executed. Its a luttle behind compared to S1 and S2 but srill amazing how Genndy's blocking and illustration are always at the top of the game. See more Ry N @RyGuy 1d A mindless zombie Spear is brought back to life by a Shaman as he brutally fights his way to rediscover his past. It's fun watching Spear fight for the Black Water Tribe where he drinks a sacred liquid to regain his human form, but this was a strange continuation.

See more Yusef B @Yusef689 Mar 4 Loved season 1 &2. Season 3? Not so much. The zombie move was a big swing for the fences. Unfortunately it whiffed See more Read all reviews
