Primeval was created by Britain's ITV as a big-budget primetime Saturday rival to the success of the BBC's Doctor Who. But unlike some efforts to buy big ratings, there's actually a lot of entertainment throughout the series. The crux of the show surrounds a series of strange creatures from both the future and the past who appear to be roaming around in the present day. So what's going on? And what can be done about the dinosaur-esque creatures, big insects, and assorted parasitic life forms that are suddenly roaming the Earth? That's where professor Nick Cutter and his team come in, and the fun really begins.
A surprisingly human action-drama, Primeval clearly draws influence from Doctor Who, and while it never really threatens to rival it, it is nonetheless a good show in its own right. The special effects are suitably smart, but, more importantly, there's also a half-decent script at the heart of things, and that really does help lift the show.
The second season finds Cutter and his team once again dealing with creatures quite literally out of their time. But this time, Primeval has a few more tricks up its sleeve. Because while the convention for much of season 1 was that the creatures that faced Cutter and his crew were arriving from the past, this time round there are monsters from the future to worry about too. Cue the likes of a woolly mammoth on the motorway, and a raptor-esque chase around a shopping center. The show then blends in some twisty narratives surrounding the characters themselves, which--while not particularly intricate or surprising--do keep up the fun, and it does its best to throw as much at the screen as it can. Primeval is very good fun, worth rewatching, and suitable for family viewing too. --Jon Foster

Our cousins across the pond have the unerring knack of creating enduring tv shows in the sci-fi venue and this stands tall. Full of womderful concepts, terrific scripts, effects and performances by the actors that make you care about the characters. It takes wild twists and turns, changing the lead character, but it always works. A new series will be coming in 2011. I, for one, can't wait to see it! If you love imaginative adventures, this Bud's for you.

Monsters from the past and future and secret organization. No way, never saw that before, well maybe in the 50's movies 60's series ect. The only original part of the series is, there is not one attractive person in it. Maybe it's because they are all British.
The characters are all shallow self centered and mind numbly PC as well as genuinely dense. Those are the good points.
So no guns. Why, well who knows, sometimes they kill the creatures, some times they don't, some times ... Read More

I thought it was a good show and that it was also interesting. I enjoyed watching it, and for the price it was well worth it.

I love this show! It has a satisfying mix of sci-fi and intrigue. It is about a group of people who come together at the site of an anomoly. A spot where the past and the future come together so that creatures from the past can enter our time. Each one of the group has a talent that makes them valuable to each other. The government decides to keep them together to hopefully find out more about the anomolies. There are sub-plots where someone is stealing secrets and plotting against the group. ... Read More
