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

- Want Specifics About This Fabulous Show DVD Set? Here's What I Can Tell You From Viewing The DiscsMy son recently loaned me "Primeval: Volume 1 (Series 1 and 2)," an amazingly written, directed, acted, and (CGI) visual effects filled British television series. After watching all the episodes, I went on-line to find out if more episodes were available. Much to my surprise, the thirteen episodes (on the four disc DVD set) are actually the first two seasons, and that Season Three will not even air until "Spring 2009" in England. I found no indication of when it will air in the US! (Since I don't ... Read More

- Great BBC SCI FIThis show is a great SCI FI show it has all the elements that make for good entertainment. The Plot lines are good, the interaction between the characters is good and the way they develop them is great. The SCI FI action and premise are both entertaining and fun.

- Prime time with a differenceThis is a unique concept series that is really quite fascinating. I discovered the series on TV and my son asked for the DVD collection as a gift as he enjoyed it so much. I found that after awhile, the script was the same - just the creature changed each week - but the character development is good and I enjoyed the series nonetheless.

- Great show; Poor transferFive stars for the show; one star for the video quality. The video on this DVD set is blurry and of very poor quality. Compared to my other TV show DVDs I own or have seen (Jericho, Firefly, and The Office), I literally feel like I'm watching a VHS tape version of Primeval, which is a shame because the show is really good. I've been watching recorded episodes of Primeval on my (non-HD) Dish Network DVR and didn't like how the video was blurry and lacked detail, so I ordered the Primeval DVD set on Netflix. ...

- Connie's Review of Primeval, Season 1&2If you're looking for a great series, then this one is for you! It's not that the dinosaurs are all that great, although they are good, but it's the sideline stories going on between the characters that makes this a terrific series, you can't help but fall in love with these characters....
