Primal: Season 1

"Nothing short of breathtaking."

"Few shows have managed to capture the full range of the human experience as expertly as the first few minutes of Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal."

"A spare storytelling experiment that plays like nothing else in the current landscape."

"As an event, though it's hard to question its few missteps."

"It's storytelling at its most basic, sound and images moving faster than a speeding velociraptor and brimming with soulfulness."

"A piece of elemental storytelling that finds some real emotional depth without either of its protagonists uttering a single word of dialogue."

"Tartakovsky is one of the maximalist animators of our time, crafting his world with the most visual and graceful extremes and having plenty of firecrackers up his sleeves."

"Even if it takes stretching history millions of years, Primal finds an innate truth buried deep in the fossil record."
