I discovered primal because of alteori :)

[Charlie-fyfy]

I'm really excited for season 2, the trailer is way more than I was expecting... Primal is a piece of art, and I'm so glad it is getting the recognition it deserves

Zombie dinosaur was a nightmare, and I applaud for the creators to come up with this idea.

I really sympathized with all the characters over the mammoth tusk. My family has hunted whitetail deer for generations, and I've taught my own son as well. Out of respect for the animal, we always say a prayer over it and harvest it. We use EVERY part of it, even the bones (which go to our English mastiff that loves them. The insides that we don't use are food for other scavengers on our property. We also only hunt the older ones, and even then only what we use to feed our family for a season. All animals have some sense of familial bond, and it is VERY important to us that we do exactly what spear did; show respect, and waste nothing. I got a little emotional when he gave the tusk back! Great show and great review @Alteori 😊

Bro at this point, Spear shouldn't be considered a caveman due to how strong he is for a mere human being himself

[nooneofimportance]

Yeah, this show is gold standard, all the way. Tartakovsky is a genius at visual storytelling. Even without understanding a word of what Mira was saying, we the audience as well as Spear understand everything she is talking about through her drawing. THAT is how you do visual storytelling.

That old dying mammoth was most likely female, probably a mother or aunt to the matriarch. Modern elephants are like this. Males are solitary and females live in groups and help raise the babies. An old one is crucial for remembering paths to food sources. "An Elephant Never Forgets" is probably one of the most accurate sayings ever created, as their memory capacity is the same as ours. Mourning their dead is accurate too!

Also, I theorize the black goo in Rage of the Ape Men is Chemical X from the Powerpuff Girls, Genndy did work on that show and I keep seeing Mojo Jojo everywhere.

[Hornsifter]

Dude, I cryed alot when I watched episode 8. That ending scean with the Witch and her daughter was just so beutiful. The love and compation was so clear

[DamnAwesome]

Mammoths being crazy intelligent was a really good idea, it shows how elephants now are still very smart and grieve over dead family members.

[themurrrr]

This series was so good….. I was addicted from the first episode.
Thanks again for your recommendation.
SEASON TWO, LET’S GOOOO

[kenrickbautista]

Looking forward for it to come back! 🙂 'Primal' is easily one of my all-time shows. Like any other show or movie, 'Primal' is not a fairytale where characters have a happy ending. And I truly appreciate that.

[brothadarkness]

Remember watching this the first time through, was a good refresher, Genndy always does so much with so little in his shows, just ambient sounds and a few motions can convey alot.

I do wonder if they will ever touch on where the black water and zombie virus come from or if the water that dino puked in will have long lasting effects.

[DamnAwesome]

The zombie dinosaur was the scariest and creepiest thing I have ever watched, I seriously got super scared when it woke up, I was so happy it died at the end.

[pumathrine]

2:57 this scene was very symbolic to me. The stalagmites below show what will happen to them if they screw up their relationship and turn on each other. The snakes body is like a rope. Because of how heavy she is, fang ends up making it impossible for spear to hold them together. It explains their current dynamic because fang is a clumsy, loud apex predator and because she wasn’t bending her habits to help spear, the sleep deprivation, annoyance and hunger finally gets to spear and they fight each other. If the snakes didn’t interrupt them, they could’ve killed each other.

Basically, in friendships it can’t be all one person doing the effort to make their time together enjoyable.

[jaywerner]

Thanks for the Recap Alteori, been a LONG TIME since season 1. Can't wait for season 2, Genndy Tartakovsky really is a animation legend, having done both Samurai Jack (classic Cartoon) and now PRIMAL.

[JanikBouchette]

Thank you alteori for helping me find this AMAZING thing

[willrogers]

I loved this show because it managed to have some of the best storytelling I’ve ever seen without any lines other than grunts, screams and roars.

[austindragon]

I just love how Fang being as smart as she is, is accurate to a real t. rex

[xxmdxx]

One of the best shows I've ever had the privilege to watch, I'm pumped that season 2 is right around the corner it's gonna be so damn good.

[nattonow]

Something I want to point out in cold death is that at the end that grave yard of mammoths is bigger than the group of living mammoth
Symbolizing that extinction of the species
