Review of Primal

Primal (2019– )
1/10
Season 2 is a Total Disappointment
5 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Loved season 1, but season 2? Awful. Worse, this show started with Spear fighting for survival in the stone age, against all odds. Now he's fighting Vikings, Egyptians, Indians, and...Crusaders?! Did the writers just start eating paint chips when they puked out season 2?

Primal went from a very grown-up and raw feeling type of avant-garde graphic-art to over marketed PR trash. Now, it's lost and pathetically aimless. It was better off sticking with the dinos and psychotic bamboons.

They could have thrown Neanderthals in or even a few giant sloths for fun, but no, we need Spear to go off the rails for no apparent reason on an entire village of Vikings and then have him mercilessly get his butt kicked by a 90lb capoeira-kicking Egyption Queen.

Worse, he acts like some kind of love-sick and mentally challenged chimp whenever he sees Mira, whose name is the only word he says in two seasons. Just gut-wrenchingly bad.
