Over and over, I found myself with my jaw on the floor and my fist pumping at the scale and ingenuity of the latest set piece. Go to Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider Jan 17
Primal is full of adventure, blood and limbs flying, and the uncertainty of the human heart, even though its main characters aren’t necessarily human at all. Go to Full Review Beth Accomando KPBS.org Jan 17
It will make you gasp in awe, but it will also break your heart. Go to Full Review James Hanton FILMHOUNDS Magazine Jan 16
5 / 5
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
In a sea of sequels, remakes, and legacy sequel projects, Primal is a bravura of original, prestige animation. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

ERIC W @Ecks47 1d For all you Neigh-sayers & Low-attention-span Nincompoops Who can't go 8 Minutes without looking at your (not-so) Smart-device, hold your Contempt for the Show not getting to the "Good Stuff" until AFTER You've watched Season 3's Episode 4.....then come back & say exactly Why You Hated it in detail, not just with a sentence or 2. See more John C @Johnwvfed 2d Loved season 1 and 2 but they lost me in season 3. Horrible ending of the main character made worse by blending in walking with the dead. I'm out. See more Millr D @Mr.Millr 4d Seasons 1 and 2 of Primal were brutal, emotional, and awesome. Season 3 isn’t bad, it’s indecisive. The show can’t decide whether to kill Spear or keep him, and that hesitation drains the impact. Primal used to commit to its choices. Season 3 keeps pulling back, and it ends up feeling weaker because of it. See more Michael R @MDR22 Jan 31 Seasons 1 & 2 were an epic adventure filled with heroism but Season 3 has really taken a turn away from the essence of the show. S3 is more necrotic than primal which has been disappointing. Spear deserves better after what he went through at the end of season 2. See more broden R @TheBestCriticEver Jan 29 Season 3 was slow and boring. With spear becoming a zombie it changed the pace and feel of the whole show. Not worth watching. Don't waist your time on this. See more Edgar M @Animefernando Jan 26 One of the animated shows I have ever seems See more Read all reviews
