Primeval: The Complete Series 1 and 2

This is WITHOUT A DOUBT the BEST [most intense] TV series ever produced! It probably would have been too expensive to produce if some of the special effects used [some from WALKING WITH DINOSAURS and some from WALKING WITH PREHISTORIC BEASTS] hadn't been accessable. The casting was nearly perfect. The apparent bond formed among the cast looked similar to that formed by the cast of STARGATE SG1. It's too bad the BBC had to terminate such a good series after only [2] seasons. I have heard nothing but praise from everyone who has seen it. The only extra that I would like to have experienced dealt with the sound program. It's done in Stereo but using Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound would enhance the series.

I was surprised that this show was so well written and filmed. The special effects are the best, the interaction and story line is excellent and I was hooked from the very first episode.

Cheers to the Brits!!!

This show is like Godzilla with computer-generated creatures instead of guys in rubber suits. How? Because this show, like the Godzilla movies, features human characters and there lives which are really kind of dull and boring. Like the monsters of Godzilla, the monsters of Primeval are the stars, regardless of how much screentime they have. If I sound like I'm complaining I'm not. We love the Godzilla movies because of this, just as we love this show. Primeval is great. Unlike Doctor Who, which gave off corny, power ranger-jives, this show has more of a mature Sci-Fi touch. It gives off the feel of a documentary like Walking with Dinosaurs (surprise), except with a soap opera/drama backdrop, a la Buffy, Smallville, etc. albeit, shallow, and not very heartwrenching, or even interesting, (see Godzilla comparison above), instead of a narrator describing the actions of paleontologists digging up dinosaur fossils in addition to CGI prehistoric action (which is also exciting). So yes, the science in here is greatly exagerrated, and its not a thought provoking masterpiece, like, oh say, Jurassic Park (the book), but usually its nice to have something that's pure escapism, where you can just turn your mind off for 40 minutes or so, and just enjoy the ride, and help relieve yourself of the awful drudgeries that is work, school, chores, and anything else that just fills up our short lives with stress and aggravation and anything that requires thinking so hard it leaves your brain dead by the end of each weekday.

Now you dont have to wait for that next monster movie to come out as they
are comming out in every episode of Primeval. The cast and stories are
pretty good, but the creatures are great ! Once you start watching, its
hard to let go...till you've watched it all.

More please ....

Great show! Great special effects, acting and stories. Love that we can all watch it together and get scared every week together because it's PG. So glad it came to the U.S!
